Clearly I've been at home too long because when Paul announced that we had to attend a bbq at his boss' house this weekend; I panicked. Not panicked a little but major panic. I instantly was counting off a list of things I MUST DO in order to get ready for this informal get together.
1. Get nails and pedicure
2. Get my hair fixed....bad salon coloring job that I've just been living with
3. Get a spray tan
4. Come up with a fabulous side to donate to the dinner
5. Get new clothes
Yes, in my mind in order to attend this little gathering I had to do a major overhaul of self.
It became clear over the next several days that I have become an old hag living as a hermit here in Houston.
You know it's bad when you come out dressed for said bbq and your 11 year old is, "Wow Mom, you look really pretty" I was in jeans and blouse. She even suggested taking a picture of me.
In the end I looked fairly decent and they ate my salad (Texas Shrimp & Rice Salad). I may have freaked them all out as I was the only one not drinking alcohol. In fact the hostess asked me twice if I was sure I just wanted a water. Yes, I'm that boring.
