Smorgie @ the Y

We had the great opportunity to go to a wonderful wedding this weekend.  My girlfriend and I both took advantage of the occasion to wear our little black dresses of which all ladies must have at least one current design.  She looked so beautiful and sexy in her low cut tuxedo dress (see today's avatar). I wore a below the knee A-line that was open in back to my waist.  We had a great time dancing with the single men there and even turned a few heads when we danced together.  In the end we all got pretty worked up.  I noticed many of the singles paired up for what I hoped was some romantic fun in the privacy of their hotel rooms. This wedding had so many twenty somethings and they all came dressed to party so it was sort of obvious when the dance floor emptied and the new couples headed upstairs.  First hand I can assure you that I had plenty of after hours fun with my friends. 

Sunday morning was particularly interesting.  Amid the hangovers at breakfast there was an air of giggling, discomfort, pointing and whispering.  But there were at least a few couples that did not seem to mind.  Maybe they will fall in love and get married soon.  As a hopeless romantic I hope so.

So to you my friends of the board.  I am willing to bet some of you met your love at a wedding, maybe took advantage of the lowered barriers, the tingling loins, the music and dance, the romantic setting, and the free booze to throw caution to the wind and ask someone to dance or more.

Stories please....

A test...

10  +   4   =   2,   true statement.

Prove it....

 

AND  another one:

1  +  1  +  1  =  1, true statement.

How can that be?

Ronald Reagan - Gotta love him even if you dislike him.  Great sayings....

'Here's my strategy on the Cold War: We win, they lose.'
  
'The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'
 
'The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so'
 
'Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.'
 
'I have wondered at times about what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the U.S. Congress.'
 
'The taxpayer: That's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination.'
 
'Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.'

'The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program.'

'It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.'

 'Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.’

'Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed, there are many rewards; if you disgrace yourself, you can always write a book'
 
'No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is as formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.'
 
'If we ever forget that we're one nation under God , then we will be a nation gone under.'

My girlfriend and I were arguing about our professional attire.  She is not a fan of the traditional white blouse and dark pencil skirt.  She thinks the look is too librarian.  Especially with your hair up in a bun.  I disagree.  Not only is a crisp white blouse sexy, but a pencil skirt, stockings and heels is a down right powerful combination, not only in business but also after hours.  I think a nice tight bun (hair) and glasses might make a woman look a little too powerful, but I doubt too many men would mind if I hushed you with a stern look.  The lonely librarian I am not,  the look works for me.  She is into more colorful displays and though I like some of them, I just don't think of that look as the powersuit.  And she says a womans hair should be down, never in a bun.

So I ask....Up or Down?
