A Night Out

Tonight I'm having dinner with friends, one of those special (and rare) holiday get-togethers where the dining will be fine and the conversation/catching-up will be finer (with a little wine). When you work at home, which, for me, includes weekends much of the time, it really is nice to take a break and go out. The problem is, of course... finding something to wear!

When I worked at an office, my "nice" clothes were always dry cleaned and ready to go at a moment's notice. Now that I work at home, finding anything other than yoga pants and a T-shirt takes a bit of planning and some effort: put jacket in dry cleaners days before so it's ready... try on clothes to make sure they still fit... find make-up that isn't caked or dried up... find shoes, any shoes!

My hope is that when I walk through the doors of Morton's tonight, my friends won't know how much work it took for me to get there and look presentable. They probably won't even notice what I'm wearing. That's what I'm counting on.
