Lauren, you are a professional and the hostess is PRIVILEGED to have you at
her party,  I'm all for training them.  I DEFINITELY would have politely
asked for a drink.  She wouldn't have thought any less of you, it was
probably an oversight anyway.  In fact, many times when I do events, both
deco and entertainment, if the host is there and there aren't any
refreshments available, I will ask her/ him to find me some for me and my
crew.  It actually serves to raise my value in their eyes.  I can't explain
it, but I've found it to be true.  I'll expand on this when the baby is
sleeping.  In the meantime, good luck in the heat!!

Have a GREAT day!!!
