the dreaded X-mas party

[Ravenclaw]

We haven't gone to any since we've been here. Both times, DH had to work.
I kind of want to go and see what it's like. They are having it a swanky place and it's an excuse to dress up.
Hopefully we can go this time. If not, I'm dragging him to my company party.

We're going to mine too!! (Assuming all goes as planned of course. )

the "wives" are not invited to DH's party....kinda rude I think, but I hear some stories and frankly not sure I would be able to sit pretty and not voice my thoughts on the goings on! He says that he won't go this year unless I come too, but I'm really not feeling brave enough to crash!

Umm... I have to ask... What the hell is going on at these parties????

Just a lot of inappropriate flirting...or so I hear!

[Lo]

umm...im confused...if they have no wives there then who is doing the flirting? are they flirting with eachother? ugh

b/c they all wouldn't necessarily have wives -- some of these docs may ACTUALLY be female.

[Lo]

oh yah, but still thats just wrong...

Disgusting. Don't let him go. That's pathetic.

(sorry, just my candid "I've had a few" opinion.)

...a few? haha miss im on to water now but have another bottle of pinot chilling in the fridge!! haha

But after not having "a few" I concur (told DF i would use that word in a sentance today so now I have haha)

Oops, sorry to have confused everyone...I blame ortho in general
Nope, it's basically the attendings (the really old ones, ugh) who flirt with the nurses and secretaries...oh yah the OT an PT too. Dh is chief now so he has to make an appearance and really wants me to come, but then I'd be "that wife" and it will probably be boring ortho stuff anyway, all I really want is the nice dinner so maybe I'll insist on a romantic date night instead.....

They're having a GME fall social next week...I want to go but DH doesn't. I'm going to put my foot down so we do.

We're once again only going to mine. His charges for dates, so none of the residents ever go (except for may be the chiefs who need to kiss up). I actually wouldn't mind going to a country club or some place equally swanky. I have a bunch of cocktail dresses (from the days when we had 7 weddings a year) collecting dust in my closet.

Actually the WHAT NOT TO WEAR thread was started around this time last year with suggestions for christmas party attire. You can either do a search for it or I can repeat my suggestions from last year. My general motto is "when in doubt wear black." Especially in NY this works for everything, weddings, birthdays, holiday parties, etc.

Should I start a thread "Holiday Party Attire"?

If anyone needs cocktail dresses or separates in sizes 2-6, please let me know. I'd be more than happy to ship mine off somewhere.

Yeah, I'll be sure to let you know when pigs start flying as well.

I'm really not jealous at all. Really. No, I'm not. I'm telling you. Really.

We could talk...haha maybe we can exchange for the season? It would be like a whole new wardrobe
