Sort of like "the designated driver" concept.<br /><br />But I don't know how good a time I'd have, particularly as they imbibe several rounds of alcohol and start to get loud (you know how guys - or gals - who have consumed "tee many martoonis" can get...) That's the time someone will ask about my purse, my nails, the top which buttons the "wrong" way - or about the fact that my shoes look like women's ballet flats (because they are.) <br /><br />The guys have been quite tolerant...thus far. I really don't want that to change.<br /><br />Though I get along well with the ladies, and my wife and I occasionally sit with the other girls at social events, I haven't been invited to any hen parties. Though it would be fun, I'm sure my wife would have her say about it. And, we both know what the gist of the conversation would be. <br /><br />Maybe someday, just not right now...<br /><br />MandyMandy Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01547323395921637440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483143481224034343.post-42810874824585857372015-07-16T01:05:07.314-07:002015-07-16T01:05:07.314-07:00I, too, love the outfit.

It really feels super-feminine. <br /><br />Good suggestion - I will try that in the next week or so, as I have several things to do "across the bridge". And I want to finish those errands before my wife returns home, so we will have more time together when she gets here.<br /><br />MandyMandy Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01547323395921637440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483143481224034343.post-12784242302619202712015-07-15T12:05:03.899-07:002015-07-15T12:05:03.899-07:00Mandy -
I've gone out drinking with the guys ...Mandy -<br /><br />I've gone out drinking with the guys (in boy mode) and have made it a point to drink soda (usually seltzer with lime). It's the act of social drinking, and not the content of the drink that's important - except to alcoholics.<br /><br />Last night, I went with the gals (in female mode) who belong to a woman's meetup group I belong to, and we went to see Magic Mike XXL. (You;ll read about the trip in my blog next week.) Afterwards we went for a drink next door. It was fun seeing the gals get rowdy, and sharing it with them.....<br /><br />MMarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18346866501735405647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483143481224034343.post-50921003418935184332015-07-15T08:21:49.313-07:002015-07-15T08:21:49.313-07:00That is a very nice outfit and I am glad that it s...That is a very nice outfit and I am glad that it stirred up no issues with any of the folks you encountered that day. <br /><br />I would suggest that the next time you go out in that outfit that you take a skirt that you can easily slip on and off over the shorts and that you bring your black heeled pumps since they can be easily switched to flats. I like driving in skirt hose and heels and there is something nice about getting in and out of a car wearing heels.<br />PatPat Scaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148601231866277374noreply@blogger.com
