happy.birthday.*nn*

Today's *nn's* birthday. Happy birthday *nn*!! She's having a party, and her parties are always the best. Unfortunately, I can't go this year, because it's also the night of the big winter ball at *a's* law firm, and I committed to watching some friends kids for it several months ago. When I realized that they were on the same night, I first tried to figure out if I could bail on the kids. Unfortunately, due to my pathological need to keep my word, that wasn't possible. I tried to see if they could get a babysitter, but since I'm suppose to watch them overnight, no regular 16 year old would do. So I've resigned myself to missing the party, despite how much fun I know it will be. Have a drink for me guys.
