What a night :-)
First, reflecting on the last week - I did not do too well. Every day was a new beginning and somewhere throughout it I failed myself. Not good. But I am not giving up on myself. Today is a new day and a new start.
I don't like short weeks, everything is crammed into less time. It was quite a run around. and topped of by yesterday.
Heart walk in the morning, 50 miles away, hairdo in the afternoon, 20 miles away but the other direction, and finally, the Pop Arts Ball.
We had a bad storm Saturday morning but the Heart Walk was happening anyway. Since I had initiated our group, was the team captain, I had to show up, no matter what. Only one other person came. Oh well, so be it.
I did not do the whole walk since I had to get to my next appointment. Home, shower, on the run again.
It was fun. A friend of mine owns a salon and we had gone over some hair-does last week. It took about 1 1/2h to get the hair up, without cushions or so. Just pins. It looked fantastic.
The dress was also wonderful, only negative part, I could not close it up all the way by myself *lol* There were some hooks over the zipper, impossible for me to get them into place.
So, here comes the party
What an interesting event. A silent auction was going on with art objects. Nice things but not for me. No room for any of it. Mingling, cocktails, checking out each other - having fun. There were quite interesting styles, from Twiggy to BOHO to myself :-) I got a lot of compliments, some for the dress, some for the hairdo. The silent auction closed at 8 pm and it was dinner and dancing time. Dinner - as usual too many carbs and I was hungry. Not a decent meal all day long because of all the running around.
And after dinner, no one was going to stop me. I asked on of the guys on the table to dance with me... he was kind of hesitant but when we left thank me since he would have never had so much fun without me getting him started *lol*
Music was kind of a disappointment since it was more the 70s than the 60s, a lot of fun anyway... disco, here I come. It took just a little while and I did not care if I had a partner to dance with or not.
The dress was a sauna, polyester of the first generation. A lot of exercise and a lot of sweat.It was worth it.
I went home around 11.30 and have to say, it was fantastic. Good part was I made it out of the dress without any help. Bad part, I had to take the hairdo apart since I was not willing to sleep with all the pins on my head. Still wondering how they did at the time? Sitting while sleeping?
I was so tired this morning. Woke up with some kind of a hangover, headache, upset stomach though I had only one Martini and one glass of white wine, the rest was water. I did not stay up for long and decided to take another rest for 30 min or so until the pain reliever kicks in. Next thing I know, it is 2.00 pm. So, another day and nothing will get done. Need to do laundry, cooking, cleaning, need to tend to the pool and don't' have any drive. Oh well, so be it. Tomorrow is another day :-)
And I repeat, it was worth it!
BTW - I posted a pic in Grand Central
