Four Good Reasons Why I Am Glad I Didn't Have A Date Tonight...



1. I got to get all dolled-up for ME.  It made me feel like a million bucks to put on a girlie dress, fru-fru jewelry, strappy sandals which showed off my freshly pedicured toes...and I didn't have to do it -- but I choose to get dressed-up!
