Today's post is late for good reason. We went to one of the two parties last night and since it was an hour away decided to get a hotel room. Smart move on our part.

B worked all day and I helped the kid with her room. She managed to get everything out yesterday and as a result we have been spending our day rearranging. It seemed like yesterday flew by. B went off to work at 8, I went to Target, the library, and Men's Warehouse to get a bow tie and a belt. Talked to my sister. She seemed exhausted and frustrated. Sorry kiddo. Wish I could help out by buying your house. Got back home and packed all my stuff for last night. Then I made sugar "glass" and caramel apple cookies for the party.

By the time she got home and we got situated, it was too late to go to the other party unfortunately. It would have been tiring as hell for us to go to both. I feel bad, but it is what it is.

We got to the hotel around 5:30, checked in and then she saw a Buffalo Wild Wings. She decided we needed to go there. Having never been I said okay. My mistake. It's an annoying as fuck sports bar. 100+ TVs all blaring sports. We sat outside as a compromise but it wasn't that much better. At that point I realized I forgot shoes, cufflinks, and she forgot tights. Off to Target and the mall next door. Mission accomplished.

Went back to the hotel and got ready for the party. I wore a tux and B wore the same dress she wore to the wedding the week before. We headed out around 8 and were the 3 couple to arrive. There were only about 10 people but food for 1000. I feel bad for these friends because they are so far out that it's hard to get people to their house. They are the sweetest couple and fun to be around but it's an hour without traffic to their place.

Left the party around 11:30 and went back to the hotel. After wild monkey love, we both passed out and slept like rocks until 6 this morning when I had to check in for my flight tomorrow.

Yes, I am off to Atlanta tomorrow. Yay me. Upside? After this and Vegas I will hold gold on American and only be 5 nights short of Diamond at Hilton. I can do it.
