Can I join?! I need encouragement. After 37 years as a complete tomboy, I'm having to do some major sprucing. I just joined a new AA church with Daniel. We go with some friends. And MAN, the dress code is a little nicer than my old church. The women wear fancy dresses, jewelry, some are even in HATS!!
So, you know . . . When in Rome. After getting by with the dresses in my closet for the past couple of months, I finally broke down and went shopping. Nice dresses, 3 inch heals (How do people walk in those?!!!) make-up. Now that was humbling. I basically had to tell the woman at the counter - I've never worn this stuff. I have no idea what I'm doing. Help me out here, please.
This Sunday I got all dressed up and my partner just looked at me, jaw dropped. "Wow. You look really good honey!" (So maybe it's worth it?) As I walked to the church in those really uncomfortable shoes, I kept chanting to myself, "I love my child. I love my child. He's totally worth this."
I'm completely intimidated at the thought that manicures and pedicures might be a necessary part of girlhood.
