Less work and more play

This Sunday was the big day - I met some bloggers for the first time in person during a dry run of the live event on Tuesday. I am not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing (from what I hear, it's good) but I am going first. ME. I will start off the tone of the night. Needless to say my obsessing over what to wear has begun. For a moment I thought it would be cool to show up as a real Buttercup (see previous post for character descriptions). Then I came to my senses when I remembered this was not a Halloween event. So now I am not sure if I want to wear something short and cute or something more conservative. I'll guess you will have to come to see what I show up in. It doesn't help when the person who came with me to the dry run gave a comment that included, "This story confirms you are a freak."

So knowing that it will take me all day Tuesday to get ready, I have decided to call in sick from work and get my hair done. I made sure tomorrow's sick day will seem real since I left work today early with "stomach issues" (I also had another $100 focus group to go to). My stupid boss is just happy I have not quit yet. I know he senses it always asking about my evening and my weekend and asking me how I am doing. He never cared before.

My dating has kind of tapered off. I don't know if it is my fault or the fault of the men I chose to date this summer. I have a few men I was e-mailing and I think I will resume that to see what options I have left. Aside from the Lawyer, no one has kept my interest. Surprisingly I don't see him often, but we talk a lot and he keeps me laughing and on my toes. I guess it's the whole smart thing - I need to date a smart guy.

Tomorrow night, provided I am not wasted, I will post the story that I will read tomorrow. It is a bit long, but I got good feedback from it yesterday so I think it's worth it. Feel free to leave me your comments.
