Dinner Party

Our neighbors invited us to a dinner party hosted by their church group and I decided I wanted to go.  Shannon wanted to stay at home with Kyle.  The dinner party was held at a restaurant in their banquet room.  I wasn't sure of the dress attire, so I wore a "business casual" outfit.  Thankfully, I wasn't over dressed or under dressed.  The dress was mixed between relaxed to business casual.

 Everyone was super friendly and welcoming.  The dinner was open to family and friends of the members of the group.  They did their prayers and songs and the dinner was a buffet style.  All I ate was green beans, macaroni and cheese, and hush puppies.  I also had Pepsi as I was really thirsty.  I had about two glasses and then I had water after that. 

Skin Care Party

I went to a skin party with my mother-in-law tonight. It started at 6pm and we got there a little earl The hostess was telling us that they invited 30 people and they were expecting at least 4 other people. Well, it was just my mother-in-law and myself. Another woman showed up about an hour into the show. Apparently this is common out here… People make the commitment to be somewhere but they don’t show up. Or they make a promise to pay you back and don’t. Ironic, since everyone is so religious out here.

I am really impressed with the products, they are all natural. I was only able to purchase a sample pack but it’s a good start. It gives me a chance to at least try the products. I did see some products that I liked. I am very happy with my makeup products but I am willing to try other skin care products. I would surely consider purchasing more in the future. Hopefully I can after my husband is employed again.

We were at the party for about an hour and forty-five minutes! The hostess had a really big poodle but he was very friendly. He was like a child who wanted the attention. He was a really tall dog too! He was just like Sparky (my in-law’s dog), just as happy, excited and into everything. He just wants to know what you are doing and be by your side.

When we got home, Kyle was so happy to see me. He hadn’t seen me since 3pm because he fell asleep around then. He was very cuddly, followed me around, and just wanted to be near me. He definitely missed me. He kept looking at me as if he hadn’t seen me in days! It reminded me that I missed my little boy while I was gone. Although it was nice to be away too.
