It's getting weird in here
I am bored. You know the kind of bored where you start digging around in your nose and comparing booger size color and texture. I would play with Pickles but he is quietly resting in the other room. When I do awaken him it will be to jam a pill down his puppy throat and throw him out into the rain to take a leak. I do not want to play with Dozer who is covered in mud. I would LOVE to play with DH but he's stumbling around a gator filled pond searching for his brother. Apparently bro-in-law ran off into the woods to pout after his keys were taken thus preventing a drunk driving incident.
I'm a little torn over my hair. It's a fabulous shade of wrong red right now (wrong red = not in the scope of natural human hair red). We have a corporate banquet to attend next month and the company has a very narrow idea of it's employees image. DH fits it to a tee - I however do not. If I tone down the hair color and watch my mouth I should be able to pull my Betty crocker Stewart act off no sweat. After all I'd like DH to make it into management and suck up all the knowledge he can. I'm not sure how to dress for this though. The dress code for the men is suit and tie... How fancy do I go and how sexy can I get? I'd love to go sexy as the evening comes with a free hotel room for the night and we are actually going to be able to do it !!! (WOOHOOO! Bro-in-law and wifey in a stunningly unselfish move actually volunteered and ordered us to take the hotel room and they will watch the kiddos!) In any event, please advise on this one. In DH's old company it was an anything goes kind of attitude (he used to be a welder and we were the most mild of the bunch!) I know some of you dear readers are also corporate lackeys or schooled in the ways of said folks. HELP ME!

I'm not a corporate lackey nor am I schooled in the way of such folk. I am, however, a retired schoolteacher who finds your postings hilarious. You'll definitely stand out at the corporate banquet and draw a lot of attention to your hubby. Some may be positive, some may not. People love to make assumptions about other people from their appearance. I'm reminded of "Working Girl" with Melanie Griffith in which she herself moved up the corporate ladder by making some changes in appearance. Though retired, I still try to blend in as much as possible with the other gray-haired grandmas so as not to cause undo embarassment to my kids or grandkids. I'm striving to look like Mrs. Santa Claus. In my dreams though, my hair is long, blond, and tied up in a knot with chopsticks holding it there. Probably because that's how it was when I was a babe.

Also no good advice from my quarters.
I don't do the blending-in thing.
I'm a sore thumb and I know it.
So, good luck with your quest to be the good wife, and count yourself lucky that it's just for one night!
