Fancy Gala

Ok, I have to say it, I absolutely love social events! I do! I love being surrounded by people and just smiling and laughing and talking and having a good time. Social events are where I shine (provided I actually know some people---otherwise I'll just kind of stand there and look stupid.)

Well this Saturday my school is having a gala fundraiser and I'm going with my dad as his date. My mom has never really liked going to those, ever, and she's going to be out of town this Saturday anyway. So dad and I are going to go together, because well he has to go and I want to go with him (partly because of the food :) and partly because I still want him to have a grand time and who better to go with than me for a grand time? --totally just kidding--)

But there's going to be a nice dinner and entertainment and it's going to be so much fun! There's also going to be alcohol, which means I get to see all of my old teachers get sloshed- how much fun will that be?

Anyway, the biggest problem for these functions is that I don't know what to wear! (Yes, I really am vain enough to think of this problem) I mean, everyone is going to look nice, but it's not fancy enough for a prom dress so I'm kind of stuck with what I'm going to wear....I honestly have no clue what to do! Maybe I'll go through my clothes today, get rid of some things, decide what to wear....

Gah! Wish me luck!

I love social events - though I don't know that it is where I shine - still I love the excuse to get dressed up and enjoy an evening out. I hope you had a good time and that wardrobe issues didn't cause too many dilenmas.

I am so glad to hear that you got to go as Dad's date? How did that all turn out with the drinking and what not? I catered an event last fall in which several 'high ups' got sloshed (the governor being one of them...I know, tell me about it) and I know it can be quite entertaining! Hopefully the wardrobe worked out, and you had a FABULOUS time!
P.S. You SHOULD love social events! They so work for you!! You rock the socks right off of them!
