The Big Event Tonight

Well tonight, for the first time, I will be going to that "event" that XMM and his W go to. I'm going with my sister and brother in law and I'm sure it will be fun, but I also know that I will have to face seeing them together for the first time since her D-days, and face any snide remarks she makes about me under her breath as well. I will admit that I am nervous to go, but I have to get this over with. Face my fears, right? I know I'm afraid of my emotions when I see them, but I think I'm more afraid of looking like a little coward facing them. Please tell me how I go with confidence, so he's not thinking, "look how freaked out she is!" I'm just gonna try to have a good time and hope it goes down without too much drama. Wish me luck!

P.S. There is a chance that CSG will be there as well. I've never noticed him there before but just as I was getting to know him, he brought up the fact that he goes quite often. (Sure wish he would've called me so we could've gone TOGETHER, in XMM's face! Oh-well!)

Time for an academy award performance. No one knows how you feel on the inside so smile and laugh and act like you are having a good time. Ignore anything catty she may do, prove that you are over and above all of that. People will be drawn to you and hopefully CSG will be there and see how much fun you are. Maybe that is why he asked for your #, maybe that is why he hasn't called. He may think you will be there and has watched you there before? This is your adventure make it the way you want it.....kc

Something to consider is as tense as you may be feeling when you get there Sir balless will be feeling worse my a mile, he is going to sweating it out wondering if his wife is going to explode with out warning and make a public fool of him.

Your far better off at the end of the evening you get to go home without her he does not, how much fun is that going to be do you think.

You will survive it.

Thank you both for your comments. It's almost 5:00 and I'm starting to seriously get ill. I'm heading out to my sister's in a few minutes and then we are off to the event. I'm to the point where I just want to get this 1st time over with, so I can continue with the rest of the season with no problem. (the event is outside and is cancelled if it rains. It's starting to sprinkle right now....... Don't know if I'm glad about that or not. )

Anyway, Free said

I'm kind of wondering the same thing. It will make him look like an ass if she does, but it will make me look pretty bad too. It's more likely that she would start going off on me instead of him, since he's in the middle of a midlife crisis and all!! (whatever!!!) Hoping it doesn't happen, but we'll see. I'll tell you all about it tomorrow! Thanks again!
