The Past Week

It has been a whirlwind. We went out a lot this week. My brother-in-law's girlfriend came to town and we had dinner with them twice. She's a sweetie, I hope to see more of her.

On Saturday, a very close friend of mine (for 28 years) got married. Here is me at that reception:

I'm not wild about this picture because I don't like my smile or my posture, but check out that dress! My hubby's sister does a few formal events here and there. When I asked her if she had a nice and warm jacket I could wear, she brought over 2 of them, plus three gowns, two pair of shoes, 3 pair of earrings and a few fancy handbags. My husband voted for this dress. I wore her entire brown outfit except for I wore my own shoes. I have never worn anything this revealing out in public before. It was pretty fun. It was dark at the reception, so I felt a little safer. I bought some dress tape to hold it in place, I've never used that before. I figure you only live once, right?

We did a dinner out with the kids for New Year's Eve. That was really nice. I had a great evening. Now it's back to work an busier than ever.
