Default FG Goes to Washington DC
I am leaving on Monday for Washington DC and will return on Friday, May 9.

Here's what I am doing! I will be the Gov't Affairs Rep for Idaho...the All American Chapter, Idaho Office (we have 27,000 members!)

I will most likely not be online very much, but will check in as available. Greta will be joining me on Tuesday to help celebrate my birthday!! I have a Legislative Reception to take her to that night! Celebrating in style! Yeah!!!

Thursday I have meetings with 2 Senators and 2 Congressman...and a photo op on the steps of the Capitol Building! We were told to bring an orange shirt to wear (that's the new color for MS!) I jokingly commented that was was Boise State colors and I would bring BSU shirts for everyone!!!! I don't think anyone got it!!! So, it's off to the store for BSU Orange for the group!!!!

I have Thursday night free. I am staying in Crystal City. Anyone in the area want to meet FG?

Holy Crap. I just realized that I'm going to have to go out and buy something nice to wear.

I have been meaning to buy those black birkenstocks with rhinestones on the buckles.....

Edited to add: seriously, how fancy are we talking. Little black cocktail dress, or do I need to borrow FFM's grape ape bridesmaid dress?

The dress is business casual...I just saw this dress and decided to buy it...remember I have lost about 25 pounds and have NOTHING that fits!!!

Slacks and a shirt are fine...whatever you would wear to a business meeting is just fine Greta-ta-ta....

NO NOT THE GRAPE APE dress....

Good grief - I don't have any clothes that fit either. I seem to be in that no mans land when you lose weight and the only pants that fit are capris. Now that would look cute with my sparkly birks....

Are you worried yet?
