Thankful Thursday

Well I had a great time yesterday, but my feet are killing me (I never did like those shoes). So let’s just sit back a minute & write this here Thankful Thursday post.

• I’m thankful for the fabulous imaginations of those folks at the ball. It was so much fun to read about fictional gowns & dates & canapés & the finding of keys in brassieres.

• I’m thankful that I’m not craving ice anymore.

• The other day my boss and another executive in our company were discussing how they didn’t get why people use Facebook & surely you’d never think you were actually friends with a person you never met. I just kept my mouth closed. I’m so thankful for all the friends I have in this cyber world. I still probably won’t give you my bank account information. Heh.

• I’m always always thankful for Dr. M, but this past week has been especially fun. He had a blast at the ball, and he has had a blast decorating our house for Halloween. He’s going to be a pirate again this year & give out buckets of candy (you think I exaggerate). He is so much fun to be around.

So, what are you thankful for today? What brings fun to your life?

Willow Manor Ball

I'm ready for the ball.*

I'm going stag.

Thought I could...persuade...some of you nice gentlemen to dance with me. 

Don't worry - the safety's on!

Oh, but the last dance goes to my dear sweetie - Dr. M. Winfield Scott Hancock.Isn't he handsome?

*Go here to see what all the fuss and fun are about. 

This is Not Monday Miscellany

I was all ready to head to bed, but Dr. M made me start thinking about the Willow Manor Ball so my brain had to wake up again (just a little bit). I've never participated in this annual event - I've never been much of a dancer - but this year Dr. M plans to attend so I thought I'd go as well. Here's what Tess says about the ball:

Just in case you haven't heard about the cyber event of the year, mark your calendars. There will be a Mr. Linky widget provided for those who wish to share their dates and what they are wearing the the ball, which mysteriously lasts a whole 24 hours beginning at 12:00 a.m. on:

Wednesday, October 12, 2011

Don't forget, there will door prizes chosen from everyone who attends (leaves a comment) here at Willow Manor on the 12th. When you arrive, hop on into the comment section, and join the fun.
One of the great things about a cyber ball is that we all dance like gods and goddesses. Make sure you have your dance cards ready, because we will be rolling up the carpets at Willow Manor. Valentino said tile floor was the best for dancing the tango, but in this case, the hardwood floors at the manor will do the trick. 

You'll have to wait until Wednesday to see what I'm planning. But here is a teaser...
