Today my husband and I are going to a party we have been really looking forward to. We are looking forward to the people we will see there, to being outside and having fun. But the party started 15 minutes ago and we’re both still on our laptops! Blogging, tweeting, tweaking…at least I think that’s what he’s doing.
This is my cry for help.
My public admission that I need to change (who am I kidding I just don’t feel like moving yet). I can’t stand that I’m constantly late. And besides the fact that it’s rude, I never really look nice because I do most of my “toileting” on the fly. I once left the house to go to a wedding and had a melt-down in the car because the a/c adapter in the car wouldn’t run my hair straightener…oh yeah! That’s right.
So here’s my makeover promise to myself. After today, I am never doing this to myself again.
I now have to do the “mad dash”. Get up, take a shower and get out the door in what Fred is telling me is 11 minutes. I will have to settle for the “curly do” again instead of the nice blow out I was planning and I will have to wear my old jeans instead of something lovely. Who am I kidding? I don’t have something lovely to wear because I’m a compulsive “nopper” (nonshopper – see my self-revealing post on that). I’ll slap on some makeup while driving of course and apply a layer of clear nail polish right before we walk in – which of course makes shaking hands awkward. Seriously, it’s in writing now, I’m NEVER doing this to myself again!
A moment of pause…I’m also not sure if blogging is dangerous for me because I don’t take enough time to reread my posts. I actually close my when I press “publish post.” I have a vision of all of this coming back to haunt me if Fred decides to run for office one day (hahahhaheeehehehehehohohoho). I guess this post will come second to my college shennanigans.
OK engines ready…and…she’s OFF!!!!
