I have my company XMAS party Saturday night. As I mentioned before, WAW said she would attend with me, but I am going on my own. I'm not a very social person, but it will be a good thing for me to do on my own in the first week.
EXCELLENT #2!
Will your wife know any of these people that would be at the party with you? If so, I'd make sure to have a dance (or four), including one slow one with someone else!
