a costco christmas

in what is now becoming a tradition, deb, hope and i have once again decided on a date for our costco christmas celebration.

we really do go to costco, the initial reason for our trip last year. on a friday night. disclosure needed: we have all become suburban geeks now.

when people first asked what we were doing and we told them we were headed to costco -- knowing the three of us -- the assumption was we planned something juicy and just were not into sharing the details. even our hubbies and significant others thought we were up to no good. (which must say something about us...)

the guesses people made about our activities far exceeded our expectations for the night. male strip club, dancing all night at a club, going to the casinos for some texas hold 'em. soon, we decided not to share that indeed, we really were going to costco to pick up a few things before going to dinner. at the olive garden. ho hum.

we had a good time despite our seemingly innocuous activities. we laughed at each other's acts of stupidity. we enjoyed our dinner. we leisurely strolled through the costco, analyzing the usefulness of a 64-pk of anything.

our train-forged friendship deserves to celebrate this new found tradition. especially, since hope promises not to lick any of her utensils at dinner OR dessert. a small change from last year when she licked someone elses.
