ladies who lunch...

I just went to SUCH a fun lunch. It was with guys. But since I was there, I like to just refer to us all as ladies. (even though I am probably the LEAST ladylike)(I can dress the part...but it's all smoke and mirrors)

Anyway it was an AMAZING lunch on many levels...Friends you REALLY like (not just the ones you pretend to) great food, ordering dessert at lunch, that kind of thing.

BUT the piece de resistance (There's an accent over that first e, which makes that phrase totally french) was outside waiting for the valet and this woman comes out and is randomly talking to us because we were pretending her baby was cute and she looks down and goes "OH MY GOD. THOSE ARE GORGEOUS!" and I look down at my perfect shoes and realize that's what she's talking about and I got so excited that my 'entire-paycheck-shoes' didn't go unnoticed that I said "I KNOW! AREN'T THEY?!?!?"
.......and then I said "THANKS!!"

Now, I WAS NOT being conceited! I did not MAKE the shoes, and if I HAD I woulda FIRST said, with fake humility "OH. WHY...THANK YOU! They're not MUCH really, I just whipped 'em up one day! but thank you :)" (the smiley face was implied)

It's like when people tell me, as they do ALL THE TIME, that my dogs are so beautiful. (I swear they totally do. Because THEY ARE!) And when they say that, my first reaction is always "I KNOW! Aren't they??" Because I am in awe of their perfect looks too, because I had NOTHING to do with it.

Now if someone said "YOUR DOGS ARE SO WELL BEHAVED!!!" (this is all hypothetical, as that has never been said) but follow me here, IF someone said that, I would say "THANK YOU!"

Right? I don't MEAN to sound obnoxious. But seriously? Those shoes are DAMN CUTE! and then my guy friend FINALLY acknowledged them too and was all "those ARE really great!"

I mean, honestly is there ANYTHING more satisfying than people fawning over your shoes???

NO. THERE ISN'T
(That wasn't a rhetorical question)

SO I am SOOOO giddy happy now! Screw the gray hair! I got Manolos!
