Whoops, hit submit too soon… I’m pretty sure that weekend is open for me. One thing I’ll recommend for those driving is carpooling. Ginger & Dave live on a pretty tight street with little available parking. ---

Nope, you’re wrong. It will suck, everyone will leave by 4:30, and we’ll only drink milk and eat cookies. Oh. God. Cookies. Kill me now. ---

There isn’t much parking on their street, but there is a little parking lot just about an inch away that I parked my enormongous van in when I stopped there on my way up to New Hampshire this summer. It could easily hold 15 cars or so. [Last year I couldn’t eat many of those cookies, so I’ll be making up for lost time this year–be forewarned!] ---

Well, well well. If it isn’t another party that I can’t attend. I bet you and JC hacked into my computer and downloaded my work schedule. That way you could pretty much garrentee that I’d be working for each and every event you plan. Screw both of you guys! ---

Hey now. I just might be able to make that one. The gf works, but I’m off that weekend. As far as I know, I’m free. It’s been a while since I’ve been to Arlington. I hope I don’t get hopelessly lost and end up in Arlington Cemetary again (and again, and again, and again - What’s with that damn bridge?) ---

This is a bump. The day is swiftly approaching, and I don’t know who is in or out. I would like to know ahead of time so I can guage how much food to make. I’ll be starting The Baking this week. ---

I’m sorry, but I can’t give more than a maybe until my work schedule is given out, and that won’t be until Saturday. However for what it’s worth, if I do get off that Saturday I’ll have to go to another Christmas party that night, so I likely won’t be able to stay at your guys place for more than three hours or so, and thus won’t be eating a whole lot. Hope that’s some sort of help. ---
