My Instead: I wore a dress and got all dolled up to go to Annette's house and we weren't even going anywhere.
There’s a women’s dance coming
up in November that Annette and I are going to attend. I had in mind to get dolled
up for this event and even put on a dress! (I usually wear jeans.) Since
Annette is going to be my date for the dance, I thought it best that she see me
in my attire ahead of time…to approve or disapprove.
Anyway, this was the weekend
for Annette and me to be at her place. I worked late again doing my neighbor’s yard,
so I had to get it in gear to get to Annette’s before the rooster crowed. Realizing
that donning a dress really doesn’t add that much more time in getting ready
and also knowing that I was going to be late anyway, I did my little dress-up
surprise for Annette.
When I finally arrived
at her place, it was dark which made the revelation a bit more difficult. When
I got out of my car, Annette did not even notice anything different. Then when
she caught a glimpse of me in the glow of the yard light, she was shocked! She
didn’t know what was going on. I explained that I just wanted to surprise her
by dressing up and looking all feminine. She was so tickled about how I looked,
but even more tickled that I would do that for her!
After Annette got over
the initial shock, she had to “take the reins” as photographer and text a photo
of me to her friend and neighbor, Mary. She was so proud and wanted to show me
off. When we both stopped to breathe from all the excitement, we decided it was time for me to get comfortable. I put on my PJs and then we ate a quick
bite. After the kitchen was cleaned up, we went downstairs to snuggle and watch
a movie.
No, we didn’t go out
dancing…we didn’t go out to dinner…we didn’t go out to a fancy club for drinks.
We just stayed at home and settled in to watch a movie together. But the memory
created from that little extra effort will last a long time. And the special feeling
Annette had that night will last even longer.
