lodo and fig - I was very moved by your posts... I read them this morning and I will respond to them when I am sober ... if that should happen in the near future
So the fundraiser... I told my boss to go to he!!! (that would be me telling me - remember fight club )
And I went shopping. I had a list - and really being from the world of billable hours - I had my schedule down to 6 minute increments.
So I bought earrings, a bracelet, things w/o straps, hose ( not sure if I would use this), shoes with toe thong (that the hose would not work with, and this torture device that is suppose to stuff things in where they belong - no time to try things on -brought it all home and left myself an hour to get dressed - and water Ms. Wiggie.
The earrings worked. The bracelet worked. NO way was I going to squeeze into the torture device! Dam! thing didn't make it past my calves - how on earth was wine and running food going to fit into my tummmy with that thing on! So I switched to hose (you need something to allow the dress lines to flow...) and squeezed into old silver sandles (which were too small b/c yoga makes your feet grow! )
I had fabulous time at the fundraiser. I was at The Table with Mike Lookinland - sat next to him (acted the part of Bobby Brady) and my friend the Fox anchor. I had such a good time talking to Mike - not about People magazine stuff - but real stuff - the type of things I enjoy - but cannot post about... There was a question/answer period - I promised I would not ask Helen Thomas questions.
Then the dancing - it was all women! So after another drink or two or three (perhaps 4) - I felt compelled to walk up to all these non-dancing H's - tell them I have not dated in 5 years - and needed them to give me a reason to date again - I needed them them to dance/and demostrate a little affection for their W's!
And I was quite satisfied that quite a few W's were pleasantly surprised this evening. This whole M thing is so much work - I may not be ready to do it - but well this whole management experience has given me the cahunas to force other people to...
And my not-affiliated with any organized religion guardian angel had his/her eye on me. I had such a great time. AND I have been posting about joining this gym - but procrastinating b/c I do not want to be a walking mass of pain... Well at the silent auction I bid $80.00 on a $500.00 annual membership at the gym I wanted to join. Sigh.... guess who won... guess where I will be tomorrow...guess how I will be feeling 48 hours after that....
And my friends bid on the wine and food stuff - well I couldn't bid against my friends - so I will drink with them and offer them passes to my gym - not that they need it...
Can you believe I sat NEXT to Mike Lookinland! At first I thought that was Peter Brady (the one tha married the 18 year old) but really he is sane one and has a sane really cool wife!
No - no single men there - but really one needs to take a day or two - or perhaps a year or two (or more) off from Block related issues and just have a little fun sometimes!
Life is good! Especially after a martini and several glasses of wine! I think I am really behind at work - aren't martine's wonderful b/c that really doesn't matter right now.
Now I am off to go drink water - b/c I am old - and hangovers are he!! and I have to be at my volunteer post by 8:30 am!
