Pooks -- how did covert bar operations go last night?
How did it all go? Were you able to keep it quiet?
Re: Pooks -- how did covert bar operations go last night?
I was just about to report on it. I decided that even though I told my sister about antibiotics that I would still do a 'drink' (as if I couldn't resist LOL) so I was able to pull my waiter aside and ask him to make me something that looks like a cocktail but is not. I am guessing he has gotten that request a lot because he was back in no time flat with a cranberry concotion (maybe he was on the board yesterday).
Unfortunately my sister kept bugging me to see if I felt okay anyway, because of the cough and because of how tipsy she ended up.
Oh and in the end 3 others only had 1-2 drinks also because of driving so I fit in well.
Wives Unscripted
perfect!!!
Of course, you've got the holidays coming up, and I'm sure only more and more, the "usually i'd have a drink in this setting" will continue over the next 3 months... you'll get very good at side conversations with waiters!
This. Glad it went well.
Glad you had a good night.
I agree, I think the holidays will be the hardest part.

Thanks ladies.
DH has pointed out the same thing about the holidays as well. I am going to really push the being a dd and a lot of fake drinks.

Glad to hear things went well!
If it helps, this got me through every wedding/special event:
First off, I was always DD. But this isn't unusual. Then I would immediately grab a glass of wine/beer and hold on to it. I would occasionally raise it to my lips to mimic taking a sip. Then, after a while I would excuse myself to the ladies room, where I would pour out half. Go back, repeat, pour out whole drink. Then when people would ask I would "have already had my one drink b/c I was DD"
Oh, and in the case of weddings where it would be weird to take your wine glass/beer into the bathroom, my husband would drink the same thing, drink half, we would both put it down, and I would pick up his half drank glass/bottle.
The bottom line is, people don't really think about it. And if they do, if they see you with a drink/sipping from one, they'll immediately figure you're not pregnant, and they'll promptly forget to pay attention to what you're drinking.
I feel I should mention that all my friends are 'watchers', b/c I just read over this and I feel crazy, haha.
Hope this helps!
