I am not your typical doctor's wife (I learned to weld at 40!)and my husband doesn't enjoy mingling with his colleagues when he finally has time off. We treat the few events we are required to attend like a date night. We get dressed up, eat free food and prefer to sit by ourselves, where we only have to talk to each other and he can fill me in on all the office gossip without being overheard! It's really all in how you decide to look at things. Eventually, you will find the other non-drinking rogue "Glee" watchers to mingle with, but in the meantime, it is REALLY no one's business why you don't want a cocktail!Glamourshoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399976423669801077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183263500164049344.post-614282866968501092010-04-25T17:43:26.425-04:002010-04-25T17:43:26.425-04:00And I thought history graduate student parties wer...And I thought history graduate student parties were bad....<br /><br />I've never been to a work party that didn't serve things beside alcohol and here's why: mixers. Drinks like Seven and Seven are made with tonic, club soda, sprite, coke (rum and coke anyone?), and a variety of juices. So were they serving straight shots or was it wine and beer only? I think you got played by some bartender to lazy to open a soda bottle.<br /><br />That line about only serving alcohol sounds so off and next time ask if they have rum and cokes. When they say yes, ask for a rum and coke, hold the rum. If they say no... well, I can't do anything about that.<br />Elizabeth W.Elizabeth Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06839396246682146742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183263500164049344.post-91248599518589466252010-04-21T18:19:23.667-04:002010-04-21T18:19:23.667-04:00This is why I drreeeaadd office parties and after ...This is why I drreeeaadd office parties and after hours events. I can't tell you how many times someone offers me alcohol over and over and over again. Then I have to explain and yada yada yada... so not fun.katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09817938803692118239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183263500164049344.post-11709449001967896592010-04-21T17:52:49.079-04:002010-04-21T17:52:49.079-04:00WOW - love, love the picture - so great of both of...WOW - love, love the picture - so great of both of you - love the dress, btw and your door stoop is lovely! Now, I totally agree with your mom on the "only alcohol" issue - how socially tacky to be so presumptuous to assume that EVERYONE would want an alcoholic drink! Also agree that whoever planned said event lacked taste and social etiquette to not offer something else - water at the very least; might we assume here that maybe by this point and such an event, they felt everyone NEEDED a drink?! LOL You two are precious! MAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183263500164049344.post-89088917717218649022010-04-21T15:20:55.079-04:002010-04-21T15:20:55.079-04:00p.s.

Aren't you so glad to have a hubby you can laugh through thwarted moments of possible grace and beauty and most importantly remain graceful and beautiful to him?? (and your parents). I must add that after years in the legal field and many many social events, I have never heard of serving nothing but alcohol!!! If anyone failed at grace and beauty it was the hosts/caterers for this event. I hope you came home and poured yourself a cold one (coke)and laughed it off!! xxoomomnoreply@blogger.com
