Today, I am going shopping. *smile*

Actually, I have a reason for once. I'm supposed to attend this thing for the Literary Festival tonight, and it's "semi-formal." I've spent the last day or so trying to get a definition of this, with mixed results. My friend Scott, the former frat boy, defined it as "anything but a tux." Which helped me, well, not much. Best friend Bianca said I could get away with a black skirt and nice sweater, while my students opined I should wear "cocktail attire." What does THAT mean? In my family, you wear jeans and bare feet to cocktails, and sit out on the deck with a can of, yes, cocktail nuts. I don't think I can swing that outfit tonight, however.

I guess I'll end up throwing myself upon the mercy of some poor salesperson at Banana Republic. They'll know. Right?

Can someone explain to me why my Friends page is suddenly really, really wide?

Just wondering.
