(I usually only write about a subject, but due to lack of time, I've decided to journal a little.)
Last night we went to the annual Fireman's Dance. I wasn't really prepared on what to wear. I wanted to wear jeans. I spent about 5 minutes pulling on a short sleeved green sweater and a pair of black slacks. Of course, I spent an hour and half on my hair and makeup! We went to a pre-dance party at one of the fireman's house. When we arrived all the wives were wearing black with sparkly jewels. I felt a little under dressed. All the skinny minnies were wearing leggings with thigh-high boots. I'm pretty sure all of them picked out their clothes the day or week before. Oh, well. I pretty much stood out just for not wearing black!
People started drinking at the pre-party. I was drinking Coors Light because my usual wine would be like $4.00 a glass at the dance, and would be very cheap wine that would cost $3.00 a bottle. This was a night to let loose for many. Some drank a little more than others. Getting a buzz made for interesting dance moves on the dance floor, which included a lot of grinding and sticking your ass out! There was a circle where someone would get in the middle and do something fun. It made a fun and interesting night. We had a really good time.
The band was local. They played two sets, and were going to play a third due to Daylight Savings time. We were all partied out at midnight, which was really 1:00 am. The next big fireman event will be the Christmas party. Last year it was at the winery. Hopefully it will be there again this year. We almost didn't go to the dance at all. We were suppose to go to a wedding, but those plans fell through due to the step-mother of the bride, my friend, leaving her husband weeks before the wedding. Wow does she have some good timing! It would have been very awkward still going to the wedding and her not being there. If feel a little bad for totally blowing it off though. Hopefully we weren't missed.
