good heavens no! That's a lot. Maybe one or 2 pounds, as there will be other food. But do bring a variety (like maybe 3 kinds) of crackers.

if i keep the windows down on the ride home, it will stay chilled and ill have plenty left for me the next day . I actually ate about .5lb for dinner tonight throughout the course of my 6hours at work . But anywho, ill bring about 2lb and some keeblers toppers, keebler club, and ritz crackers.


Oh yea, and one other thing, I'm currently low on funds so would it be possible to skip out on the gift exhcange portion of the festivities?

you can't afford something under $20? If not, then you can just watch.

Just a reminder. Although it's not mandatory, let's get dressed up for this party. I'll be very gussied up with velvet and silk.
If you don't have dressy clothes guys, at least a button down shirt and slacks instead of a Tshirt and jeans.
Heck, it's only once a year that we have a holiday party, so I don't think this is too unreasonable.

Would a polo shirt count as 'dressed up'.

You should start your primping earlier
.

Cannot as I am coming back from a very formal Friday Party which based on past years' experience will end around 2- 3 AM.


Good thing I had a back-up plan.
Then, it's going to work fine see you guys at 5:30 or so.

But because you're without a Mini, it does mean you have 1 less thing in common with everyone.

Okay, I am back on the tentative list for this hear party thing. I have been at Jury Duty for the past two weeks. I really has not been so bad so far, as most days when I call they do not need my section. In two weeks, I have only actually had to go to the Courthouse twice and both times for only two hours.

But today, my luck ran out and I was selected to serve on a Jury. The case did not end today and we are carrying over until tomorrow. So I probably will not be able to go to my parent's as planned on Thursday. If the case carries over into Friday, I won't bother trying to go at all and I will see you Saturday night.

Jeremy...polo shirt is fine.

Jen, I'm sorry you can't be with your folks, but I'm very glad you can come to the party.

I'm gonna drive someone's JCW on Saturday. Whose ever car is easier to access, I guess...

Hey creepy man without a van, I DO live about a mile from the river. You'll have to 'splain this reference to me so I know how offended to be. I Googled and all I came up with is a song by a group "Drunk and Disorderly"... Is that it?

Well, keep in mind that the JCW suspension and steering wheel are not factory options...

I might even bring my Schroth harnesses.
