And I&#8217;m especially grateful to modern technology and medicine for\u00a0keeping me that way!!!<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t mean to bring the room down; rather, I hoped that reminding everyone to have gratitude, especially at year&#8217;s end, would <em>elevate<\/em> the mood!<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of good moods, I was lucky enough this year to be invited to two equally-attractive-yet-very-different soirees. I&#8217;ve been driving myself (and everyone else!,) crazy trying to figure out how to attend both! One&#8217;s uber-cas, and the other is mega-glam. We can drive ourselves to the casual one, the other requires a driver. I like both hostesses, and they&#8217;ll both have wonderful chow. And both fetes will be gorgeous! So, what&#8217;s a popular girl to do?! Which do you think I&#8217;ll opt for? Read on to find-out.<\/p>\n<p>Ready? You may be shocked to know that I chose the <em>casual<\/em> one. Here are my only two tie-breakers: The hostess is one of my best friends, and, for me, friendship trumps everything. Also, Mr. X is very comfortable there, which is of paramount importance to me. So, that&#8217;s it then. Or is it?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m praying it is, but I&#8217;m very worried because Mr. X woke-up sick yesterday. We&#8217;ve done all the voodoo we could possibly do on his cold, and I&#8217;m begging the universe to make that be enough. You know I go out without him all the time, but the only three nights I won&#8217;t flat-leave him are Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year&#8217;s Eve. We usually choose to stay home on December 31, and just be cozy, but this year, we decided that, with such wonderful invitations, we&#8217;re happier going out. So now we&#8217;re doing everything in our power to make that work-out.
