New Year's Eve jitters

Bridgets et al,

This may sound strange - but after chatting to my confidant, Sarah AKA Smiley Cyrus (nah- we are still working on her stage name), it became evident that tonight is the first time i have been out-out in ages. Well - that's not totally true - I did go to the John Flynn Ball in November and ended up at the atrium at Juptiers, wondering "what on Earth am I doing here - bed is calling out big time and is probably more fun than this joint".

But where do, mums- fattish- curvaceous- can't-afford-plastic-work-yet, go? That's right, we have bbqs at home with our mates, in the safety of our yards.

So maybe that's why I am a little nervous about heading out tonight. I know already that we are going to the casino (a big thumbs down) - but we will try to get into a place called EAST - promises to be a little like a Mlebourne club - wow, that's pealing back the cob-webs from my memory.
Ok, what is it that I really want in a good night out. And correct, one night stands with strangers is no where on the list... yuk!

I would like a smallish meal, lots of champagne (that doesn't give you a headache), a multitude of interesting people to talk with (gals and guys - I don't care - I just enjoy meeting people), a dance floor where i can swing my arms about like Peter Garrett without running the risk of hitting people (like I was at the Carestaff break-up party)! and a well stocked , easy to access toilet.

Hmm... maybe I will be more happy tonight if i change my expectations...

Maybe if I want cheap champagne, buy some nurofen today, eat a kebab at midnight for substance, stagger over to the Casino (carrying my shoes in my hand), dance in the crowded Prince Albert Bar with scrubbers (no offence scrubbers) - and keep drinking so i don't notice the abnoxious mess in the loos and lack of toilet paper. Then Maybe i will have a "great night mate!"

That's it! Next year I will organise a bbq here for all my mates - we can frock up - I promise I will have rolls and rolls of loo paper, the lounge can be the dance floor and plenty of seats and beds for weary bodies!

Happy New Years and bring it on 2009! It's going to be FUN and exciting and A fantastic year for all - I can feel it in my waters....bye bridget
