What do you think of this dress?
I was playing around on the Target website kinda looking for ideas of things I can stuff into the kids’ stockings when I came across the “Party Dress” section, and I saw this Isaac Mizrahi dress. Believe it or not, but navy is such a trendy color right now, and I like the cut of the dress (it should fall shorter on me…just below the knee…if not, I will hem). So I clicked in further, and what did I see? This dress is ON SALE for $15.99!!!! And the customer reviews were raving all about the great fit, gorgeous fabric, etc. etc.
So of course, I ordered it for my work Holiday function! This will be really interesting because I work with a LOT of snobby fashionistas who ONLY wear designer. Well guess what, bitches? Mine’s a Mizrahi!!!
Tee hee!
Our “bowling” event was, well…okay. Fairly fun, but I was constantly checking the clock because I had to leave early to go to therapy. I’d brought a bottle of pink bubbly, and we all put our bottles on the table when we arrived at the joint. Most people were already there getting pedis when I got there (had a touch-base with my pseudo-nemesis who was late to our meeting, causing me to be late to the party), and Boss Party Pants screams out, “I KNOW WHO BROUGHT THE PINK CHAMPAGNE!!!”
Which is almost like our old battle cry.
And it made me a little sad that I wouldn’t be sitting there getting hammered with her. But it also made me glad that I wouldn’t be sitting there getting hammered with her. What made me nervous is that while she was drinking all the bubbly, she was telling me how much she missed working and traveling (read: drinking) with me. It was funny (odd, not haha) that when I mentioned that I was really cutting back on the booze she was like, “Oh yeah, me too. I’ve cut waaaaaay back lately.”
Really? Hm.
I wonder how that shindig ended. All I know is that I finally have shiny, polished paws once again and that makes me happy!
[sidenote: Someone took pix of my tootsies. A warning: if I get them, I may post them! They are that sexay!]
What didn’t make me particularly happy, however, was my therapy session. It started off fine and good. I had success stories to tell. But then I got into other dumb issues that have been weighing heavily (see Day 25 once again–yawn), and something happened: The Therapizer validated my feelings and bottom-line told me that there are a LOT of issues that Grrrr and I should work through before we get married. He told me that we have pretty major communication issues. It kinda fired me up, and that surprised me because I thought that he was trying to tell me to “let go” with all the meditation stuff he’d given me the session before.
So what did I do when I got home last night? Well I was kind of drained after all of that, and Grrrrr had his colleague over for dinner. So I stuffed it all away until after our dinner and then a visit to the coffee house to listen to some music.
But I opened my BIG FAT MOUTH while we were getting into bed. And the same stuff was rehashed. While it didn’t really get ugly, it just got uncomfortable, and I’m kind of annoyed at The Therapizer. I know he didn’t tell me to run home and try to improve communications–TONIGHT. But he got me fired up to WORK on things, and I am starting to believe that I’m trying too hard.
What if I did just let it all go and let things unfold without tensing up and bracing for the worst? What if I DO make some mistakes and simply just brush them off? I’m so scared I’m going to do something wrong that I’m trying to make everything right before it has a chance to go wrong.
It’s exhausting and draining and I’m tired of it. So today I say boooo-hisssss to trying to talk it out last night. Seriously, Grrrrr was getting frisky with me and I blew it.
Damn. I was trying to avoid writing about that.
Let’s end this one on a happy note: Holiday parties approach!!!
