i was on the highway driving home this afternoon, and i roared past a semi. the driver honked at me, and as i looked in the rearview mirror, he waved, and then blew me a kiss.
i attribute this to my newly-blonde hair, which i’m getting more used to every day.
and it’s clearly very popular with the truckers.
the fundraiser last night did, indeed, have very good wine, and good piano music. and the food looked good, but i only ate a couple of pieces of shrimp because i spent a long portion of yesterday afternoon on the patio at TGIFriday’s, eating lunch and enjoying the sunny, warm afternoon.
lunch included splitting an ENORMOUS CHOCOLATE DESSERT which involved big brownies, perhaps eight or nine of them, plus hot fudge sauce, caramel, whipped cream, and gobs of everything sugary and fattening. i’ll have you know that this dessert was not my idea at all. but on the other hand, there’s a pretty good chance that my luncheon companion ordered it because he figured i’d love it. which i did. but i didn’t even eat half of it, which i was slightly proud of, but only slightly, because like i said, i then wasn’t hungry for the rest of the day and night.
i’m supposed to be going to ANOTHER fundraiser in an hour. i have to actually be there in an hour, and i really want to take a nap, of course. 4:30 is my peak sleepy time during the day. so if i start right NOW, i could at least close my eyes for 20 minutes or so. then i just have to throw on my cute new green outfit, and that shouldn’t take more than maybe 10 minutes of preparation. it’s too bad that i’ve been dying to wear this outfit since i got it for xmas, but now i’d much rather sit here in my green shorts and t-shirt and do nothing for the remainder of the day.
perk up there, grace! go out, mingle! schmooze! have fun!
yeah yeah yeah.
today we had a meeting for the play i’m going to be in at new salem this summer, “paint your wagon.” i hope it’s a lot of fun. I really, really hope this.
here’s another “you can’t take it with you” photo:
Ok, i imagine this will be the last fundraiser for the year for me, personally. but then again, you never know.
mingle mingle mingle.
ok then,
grace not in the mood for much of anything especially chatting while wearing lipstick.
