What would you typically do at this event in previous years (activities/food/etc)?
I'll try to elaborate on what I was getting at as far as a golden opportunity for GAL's and 180's:
If you would typically go to this event, sit around and drink and kibitz. 180 it: Don't drink, take everyone on a hike or start a volleyball game.
If you would just hang around inside and watch TV/sports get out and create and event or something.
If you would pull up to your wife and hang in her conversations with others: 180 it run to the kitchen and help out with cooking.
If there is water nearby and you would typically hang out on the beach fully clothed under an umbrella: 180 it: buy a speedo a size too small and go rent a jet ski
While I am not saying to avoid the W, I am saying make a conscious effort to not follow her around like a puppy, and not be dependent on how her mood is for your (or others) happiness this weekend.
