3 1/2 hours and counting...

Sometime in our life we all have to do things that make us uncomfortable! 

 In 3&1/2 hours one of those times will be here for me.  Tonight is the Gala for our local Hospital Foundation.  We have a wonderful, new hospital here in town and it's been accomplished in large part through the work and support of the foundation. I'm all for supporting the Foundation.  I just wish we were going to a BBQ instead!  Much more my speed.

Anyway,  I have gathered, borrowed and bought everything I need to try and not shame Hubby Honey with my appearance. However, I need something to hold in my hands as we mill about and so, I made myself a "little black bag" and I thought you might like to see!

I've had this jacket for at least 12 yrs now and so I think the sacrifice was appropriate.

Yes...these pictures are graphic, so if you get queasy at the sight of what would seem to be a perfectly good garment being cut up and re-purposed then skip to the bottom of the page!

And so now the count down is at 3hrs and 20 minutes.......


When I see an invitation that says Valet Parking and Black Tie Optional....

well, I'll just be glad when it's over!  But, I will put on my "happy faaaaaaaaace" and try to look the part!
