!Hair-of-the-Dog Party

[lsanderson]

No open house this year even if it's the house's centennial year. I'm waiting for the New Year to move closer to the weekend so I can save my vacation days for vacation.

So sad.

Seconded.

One less reason for me to be sad about not being in Minneapolis.

At least they didn't cancel Christmas.

Next year won't be any better: January 1 2009 will be a Thursday. Jan 1 2010 will be a Friday. Finally, on January 1 2011, New Years Day will be a Saturday.

But...

By 2009, taking one day off gives me a four-day weekend...

I was wondering if this was what lack of an announcement meant. Ah, well. I'll miss having that to go to tomorrow, it's been a great gathering.

I certainly understand being short of vacation days, and I have at least a vague idea of just how much work you put into making the party happen.

Thanks again for all the past years!

You're Welcome!

It's not the prep time as much as the cleanup time after... By 2009, the stars should again be propitiously aligned...

Wah. It's been a wonderful unbroken series of amazing parties. But it sure is a huge undertaking. Would volunteers help? I couldn't do anything this year, but as a rule, would more hands help, or is it more complicated than that? I'd get it if you didn't want any. Most of the time when people offer to help me out, I can't articulate what needs to be done or delegate it either. I just like to plug away and do things the way I like them done.

P.

Thanks!

Volunteers are always nice, but it's taking a day off afterwards for cleanup plus the Tuesday, which seems inauspicious. I often have the same feeling about plugging away.

My master plan had me finding a cheap flight to Jamaica this year, but that never turned up...

I am heartbroken.

Last I heard, SunCountry was having a 15% off sale through Orbitz.

I'm sorry I didn't miss it. No, there's something wrong with that.

But I would have missed it, since I was in Cancun.
