Holiday party -Acting Pt.1

[beachgal]

So tonight I have the Managers Holiday Party at work. No one knows at work, and I have good friends that I work with. They are all excited (as I would have been before pregnancy!) about partying together tonight and then going out afterwards.
I am going to have to fake this real good because my friends know me very well. I've also been avoiding going out with any of them since I found out and often say either I'm working late, or 'not feeling well'. eeesh. I've burned through my excuses! (I've even used the "i'm working out and taking a month off of drinking" and "i'm on medication") LOL.
So, I will carry around my drink, act like i'm drinking it, and hope no one is suspicious (once a couple of hours passes and everyone is toasted, I should be ok...)
Next week we have a full staff party with all of the staff and managers, and that one should be a little easier...
Wish me luck! (oh and I'm so thankful for this baby and no more hangovers lol)

Party was a success . Only a couple of comments when I went home early and one when I was standing around without a drink in my hand

nice work! some other options would be to drink beer from a dark bottle and stick your tongue on the opening when "drinking" it or just pour the drink down the bathroom sink. I just got back from Hawaii and have a lot of pics with virgin drinks. Hope that doesn't come back to bite me when I finally make the announcement... "but you were drinking!"

Great idea .
I drank soda/cranberry in a short glass for most of the night. Hardest part was going up to the bar and quietly saying I didn't want vodka!
