Almost June
| Tue, 05-27-2014 - 1:31pm |
The year is just flying by, can't believe it is almost June already.
1. Do you have many celebrations in the month of June?
2. What one alcoholic drink (if you can pick just one) do you enjoy in the summer?
3. At a BBQ, which one would you rather have, a hot dog or hamburger?

There are a lot of parties here, my son went to three in one day...there isn't any way that one can stay all night or day at all of them, usually a couple of hours then they move on to the next.

We ate grilled pork loin, green beans, tossed salad, fruit salad, fresh baked French rolls, watermelon, Jell-O cake, and drank margaritas and cosmopolitans at the cookout we attended this weekend. Also available were assorted mayo salads. (I don't eat them/don't care about them.) We stayed late, and when our hostess offered to head back into the kitchen to warm up leftovers, we handed her another drink, made her sit in a lounger, and ordered pizzas. This host generally intends on long parties, opting to start them during the hottest part of the afternoon, usually lasting into the twilight. She keeps a fire pit fully stocked and ready to go for dark. An invite to her house means you ain't goin' home til six in the- six in the- mo'nin.
This is one cookout within one circle of friends/family. In another circle, there would be ribs and no booze and the thing is all over in two hours. Another may just be a sparse offering of hot dogs, a bag of chips, and some lemonade and a trip to an ice cream parlour later in the afternoon. Another may call for a watermelon that's been soaking in vodka and a tent. An invite to dh's boss' summer lake house means bring a swimsuit and be ready to kayak, and don't you dare bring more than a bottle of wine for the host.
Isn't the point really just to hang out and enjoy the people in your life, not necessarily worrying about the details? Is it really that surprising, giving the variety within your own life that other people also experience vast variety?
Seriously you two, your little gasps of outrage over the same things over and over only indicate that you're incapable of growing and learning.

...and yet you continue to have a problem accepting and acknowledging the differences in anyone but yourself and Molly. Why is that again?

This is worth quoting and repeating!

Me too, my friends just don't feel the need or want to supplement what I make...interesting that yours do.
Oh well. I am glad that I have such great, generous friends. They never come empty-handed, just like I wouldn't at their home. The other day I brought a tray of salad, 2 trays of cookies, a bottle of Pepsi, a bottle of Sprite and a bottle of Sangria. They didn't "need" anything but they are good friends and always do something for them.
While I was glad to celebrate with/for The Girl and treated it a a big deal, he has a point and he gets kudos for not being all "me me me".

Unless it's potluck, or I've been requested to do so, I don't bring anything to parties hosted by others. That doesn't mean I'm not generous. I might bring the hostess a gift. Or I might send him/her thank you gift after the event. Also, there are many ways to be generals and "do something" for friends that don't include bringing things to parties.
