I like the Friday set up. That works really well for me.
Even Sundays wasn't too bad (though Fridays are preferable) since the meetings generally started earlier in the day. But, to start it later on, like after 7, and then not be able to go out to eat until after the store closes at 9, and then being out for a while, it would just result in me getting home rather late on a night like tonight, where I have to go to work the next day. If I don't get enough sleep, I'm like a zombie. Plus, until I get paid Friday, I'm a little tight for cash right now and really wouldn't want to go out to eat. And, my wife and I have things to do yet to get ready for Christmas this weekend. So, there's just a lot going on that combines into this for me.
Fridays work out well for me because I don't have to work the next day, and ususally my wife goes over to her grandmother's for dinner when she gets off of work, so it is perfect.
In my defense, the only reason that I didn't make it to the last meeting was because it was the day of that snow storm, and they closed my office. I hadn't gone anywhere all day, and my car was BURRIED in snow, and I just had no desire to clean it off (which, would have taken forever anyway, as it did the following day when I finally got around to it) and drive around in that crap (even if most of the roads were relatively plowed by that point... they still were far from perfect).
Actually, aside from that last meeting (and the one tonight, which is quasi-unofficial anyway), I haven't otherwise missed a meeting since I joined, and I don't intend to make a habbit out of it. I enjoy the meetings, and I particularly had a blast at that last one I was at when we all went to IHOP.
I just think with tonight being in the middle of the week, and being so closed to Christmas really doesn't help matters all that much.
