New Year's Eve is definitely a holiday for people without kids. It's such a pain to get a babysitter on any holiday, and taking four kids anywhere after seven pm is just not worth it. So Monday, we planned to do what we do every night; put the kids to bed at 7:30 and CELEBRATE (the sleeping, not the holiday).
One of Dave's friends called around 8 and wanted to know if we wanted to hang out with he and his girlfriend, as his plans had fallen through (gotta' love being second choice, huh?). Since the house was actually clean, I agreed. Once I opened up the fridge and realized we had, well, nothing, I knew a quick run to the store was necessary.
I made a short list and sent Dave on his way. Now, this is the part where you remind me of Dave's shopping shortcomings and I make all my usual excuses as to why he had to go and I had to stay.
The list was short and simple and he managed it perfectly.
But a few minutes after he left, I realized that our wine glasses were still in storage. Now even though we live in a town that rhymes with "tons-a-hicks", I just can't serve a nice Pinot Grigio in a pink Dora cup. I could drink it just fine, but I won't serve it that way. So, I quickly called Dave and asked him to pick up some wine glasses.
This is what he came home with.
Candle holders. Painted.
The liquor store didn't have wine glasses, and this was all the grocery store had. Granted, his friend is from West Virginia, but I was not about to serve wine in an 18 inch high candle holder, so on to the Dollar store he went. As that exhausts the shopping options for Tons-a-hicks, I was crossing my fingers.
Luckily, he found some lovely plastic disposable wine glasses. They looked perfect. Until I opened up the package and (after attaching the stem to the base) realized they were about 4 inches high.
Dave refused to drink out of the midgets, and I refused to drink out the chalices, so we ended up using both.
I needed about 10 glasses to make a mouthful, but since I'm still breastfeeding, I nursed (ha!) a few all night.
Dave said he couldn't even taste the paint chips after one glass.
