When I got up I headed out to get a little more fruit and boy was that a little chilly. Yesterday was so good and the sun was shining and today the wind is up and makes it a little more chilly. Well I made the little walk. Just to get some fresh air and a little exercise. It did feel god but I was cold when I got back.
Came back to the room. Put my purchases away and then changed to go down and do a little vendor shopping. Yeah yeah I know should not be buying anymore, but if I see the one special thing I am going to buy it. I just can not resist. I seem a couple of hats that were nice, but she only wanted cash or cheque. Let's see only a little cash with me and I did not bring along my check book. Who the heck uses cheques anymore.
Well I did buy one hat. Just a little one. Hat to pay cash but it was kinda nice on me. Well you know how it is. Maybe not. I think in need hat help.
Well enough about hats. I never even liked hats until I got into red hatting. I would buy hats but never wear them. Maybe I do need help from hatters anonymous. Is there such a thing. No probably not I am just hopeless.
This afternoon I had a little free time. So put on my swimsuit and went to the pool. Did a few laps and then enjoyed the heat of the hot tub. Then a few more minutes in the pool scratching out and one more time to the hot tub. Boy did that feel good since it was so chilly this morning.
Noticed what time it was and headed back to room to take shower and get all gussied up for tonight. One fancy dress down and one more to go.
Very snazzy huh? This dress I found in a thrift store last year. It was only 20 dollars and you know it fit. Just a little tight but it would do. You go to thrift stores after prom is over and you can find all sorts of treasures. I got lucky with a couple of dresses I have in my collection. I love getting dressed up and doing something and this is a way to be able to do that. I do have to wear a hat too but you know what I didn't like before is growing on me. If the hat is not on right the headache does come but if I get it right I really do not notice it up there. I love the big ones that I can wear tilted to the side with feathers on them. The smaller ones do not look that good on me and the clips do not stick in my fine hair too well. But I keep trying. A head band works better.
Oh getting off track again.so doors were to open in the ballroom at 5:15. So headed down the hall to the ballroom. It isn't like last convention were I had to walk half way across a casino in my showgirl outfit. This one was just down the hall but through the lobby. I am not wearing anything silly anyways so no matter.
We are all standing outside the ballroom to head in and find our table. The doors are a little late opening. Oh my gosh they did an amazing job at decorations. There is the stairway at one end of the ballroom. Tables to one side and tables to the other side and a dance floor in the center. Here is all sorts of decorations put up to depicked the titanic.
After a while of socializing and talking with everyone we took our seats and started our dinner. The committee made their entrance and sat at the head tableThe meal had a salad to start, chicken and potatoes and a veggie and then ice cream for desert. Oh very yummy. I know I have been saying very yummy all weekend but hey it was.
After the meal was over a few of the door prizes were given out. Nothin for me but the lady on either side of me won something. Good for them.
For the next couple of hours we danced the night away. Boy was that fun.
From there the birthday cake was cut for the red hat anniversary of 16 years.
More dancing and everyone got a peice of cake. More calories to try to dance off.
Well I guess that does my day. Time for bed. Will be up for brunch tomorrow at 9:30. I have not been getting up too early as there is three hours difference between here and were I live. So if I am up for brunch that would be 6:30 in morning. This is screwing a bit with my system, but I will take it for a few days to have this kind of fun.
So talk to you tomorrow
