*Lulu* Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 In less than an hour I have to be dressed and ready for a dinner with DH's crew and thier wives. (Many of which I have never met.) I feel tired and hormonal and, and , unsocial. I know I have to go and make nice for several hours and can't hide in a book or an electronic device I'm afraid! :p I would totally call and beg off, but DH is counting on me picking him up and will not have time to drop me back at the house before he goes.

Tita Gidge Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 The things we do for love! My son is growing out a mustache for (his) love. At least you're not doing that. Though if you did, it'd be a guaranteed conversation starter :D When I have business meetings that are the last place I want to be, and I have to put on my happy face ... I envision myself preparing for the role that's going to win me that Oscar. I ignore my physical flaws (because I don't live in a HD world, so all of my flaws aren't noticeable in print or on the small screen!) and throw on crazy lipstick and run with it. I know that at the end of the night I won't be getting a little gold statue, but if I play my cards right I'll be getting a little *somethin' somethin'* even better when DH and I finally fall into bed for the night. No acting necessary ;) Make the most of it, have fun and be the fabulous wife DH brags that you are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(My two big fears at these things.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuirkyKapers Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Unless it will make the situation worse, my vote is for getting a cocktail as soon as possible. Unless of course no one else has one. If things go well, than great, if they start to go downhill, bathroom trips. Have to check on the children trips ;) I'm sure you will do great. I just had to do one of these just recently. Thank goodness everyone already had drank several cocktails before I arrived. They were super chatty so I could basically, just nod and give encouraging prompts for them to continue talking.

*Lulu* Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 It ended up being alright,it turned out two of the women I already knew and most of the crew I have met at least once. The most awkward part was me ordering something that I then didn't like at all and trying to play down how much I disliked it since the restaurant is one of thier favorites.
