We are going to a masquerade party this weekend. Sweety is less than excited about it but I told him if I can go to Reno and spend a week with a stinky acquaintance of his that he can suck it up one evening and go to a party with me. The girl that invited me just started working there and seems pretty cool. The idea of dressing up and hanging around a bunch of other people where I only know one (well, two if you count Sweety) kind of makes me want to puke but I think I’ll live. He is thinking that I will not behave myself. I swear, I will.
The other time I gathered with work peeps was kind of crazy. Something I didn’t mention in that post – My tequila-drinking friend and I decided it would be a good idea to play chase in the house. He tackled me. And pretend tea-bagged me. So I bit his inner thigh like a pit bull and Sweety had to wrench me away. It was a night for the record books.
Sweety decided that we will have a safe word at the party and if I hear him say it that I am to immediately stop whatever I’m doing and leave. The word? Appaloosa. WTF? I asked him how the hell he was going to work that into a conversation. He said he wasn’t. If he feels like it needs to be said – I will hear him screaming it as he runs to the door. He also said he might not even feel the need to say it.
He is also very unenthused with having to wear a mask.
Today I got him a new shirt and tie. And mask. I guess I did okay because he didn’t say anything about the shirt or tie when he saw them.
See that dress? $20 at an outlet store! I am all for that. Those silver shoes may be the death of me. They are way high and when I look down at them on my feet, I instantly think “goat hooves! shiny goat hooves!”. Sweety said they look like they hurt. Eh, not too much. I’m keeping the tags on everything in case I find something I like as much that’s cheaper between now and the party on Sunday night.

You will look gorgeous in that dress. Love the color. The nice thing is that besides Sweety, you only know that one new girl from work. So it’s not likely that if you do drink too much anyone will care. They will notice, but who cares. How thought of that word?
Are you sure this is a real party? LOL!

She’s the only person I know but I think there will be a few other people from work there. I’d hate to run into them in the hall after acting a fool.
Maybe I will just keep my mask on!

I’d love to go to a masquerade party. I think that Sweety will be surprised and have a good time. And, if nothing else, he’ll enjoy seeing you in that dress. It’s gorgeous.

Sweety said it just seems weird to him that people would have a party and tell people to wear masks.
I think he saw “Eyes Wide Shut” one too many times.

Sweety is wound up tighter than an 8 day clock about this. I hope it doesn’t suck for him. Or me.

For the record, the leg was in pants and I didn’t gnaw through those.
Gory details will be coming!

Where are the “gory” details, dear Chickie….I must know how it went and if Sweety had to use his special. ‘We’re Outta Here’ word….!
And my Sweetie thanks you and so do I for all your good wishes and healing thoughts….He is better, but not 100% yet….Hopefully on the way, though…..!
Oh, and glad to hear there was no gnawing…LOL!
