I didn't want to do it but I think I have to postpone our party....

Richard, being the voice of reason (and how often does THAT happen), is correct in saying that the smart thing to do would be to delay our gathering of friends by a couple of weeks given the clean-up we are contending with here.  It looks like we could be getting another 2 inches today and the next good day for a thaw is Saturday itself. 

My issue now though is what date should we pick and what works best for everyone?

Due to my surgery, Valentine's Day and begining of Lent it looks like the rest of February is pretty well caput. 

Looking at March though I see two possible GOOD dates although any would work for us.  If we went with March 14th we could play up the whole St. Paddy's day theme.  If we went March 21st we could play up the whole first day of Spring theme.

I don't want to step on anyones elses toes though so do any of us have any plans for hosting a gathering? (Amy, I'm sending you a PM)  If so, I'll wait my turn.

Let me know what you guys think and maybe we can do a quickie lunch gathering somewhere along the way to tide us all over!

I totslly understand putting it off due to all of us are going to be busy with clean up process after this ice storm.   March is fine with me.   I usually have no weekend plans for the most part.  Rest of February I have 2 more birthdays on the weekends coming up so whenever is fine with me.

Oy vey!!

I forgot about family birthdays too!! 

I have 4 in February!!  My BIL's is today, my niece's is the 21st, my nephew's is the 28th and my dumbass brother's is the 29th (or whatever day he picks on the off years).

We usually tie them up into one party though so it's all nice and neat.

Yesterday was Angies and I cooked and we had a superbowl/birthday party combined.  Feb 22 is Bob's birthday and then February 24 is Bobbi's birthday.   I am broke as heck in the month of February  lol

I completely understand and did not realize we were expecting more snow

so let me invite you guys to our next DS gathering, if anyone is interested we are meeting

February 21st at 6:00 at

Joe's OK Bayou in Clarksville, IN

let me know if you want to come, it is Mardi Gras and I am making reservations and need a number

Becka - I really do want to come to your next gathering regardless because I have a wanna be lap band and an already has a lap band friend who needs to meet you guys!

Well, Hell's bells!! 

I'm having surgery on the 20th or I'd make it a point to get there and meet your current and potential bandster pals (and DS and RNY people too). 

Grrr...this month is beggining to suck and it's only the 2nd already!

Let's just all meet up for lunch somewhere then.  We could even do it this Saturday, just not at your house.

Vicki...Sarah has Regionals that day but I still may be able to make it! So for now count me in!

 I would love to come but htis weekend My kids are home and we have a 50th party. Amy

Where is Joe's at? I wanna come !!!!!
