Today was to be a dress-up day, but .......

[Nancy Richards]

I had been planing today for weeks, I only get a chance like this about once a month. Today was to be one of those days, but the SO got the day off:sad:. She does approve of full dress-up, so the best layed plans when out the window. Well maybe in another month, who knows.

I sure hate it when my plans get messed up. But then that is the price that we pay for being ourselves.

I was planning to dress this evening but I've got a streaming cold and this tends to put a damper on looking beautiful (particularly make-up).
So I think I'll just watch TV and do my nails.

Nancy, I have been on sort of a purge for the past 9 months...till i joined here a few months back. [ good thing...lol]

i was planning on attending a support meeting this past sat....ooooops big storm. Don't you just hate it when life gets in the way?

:battingeyelashes:

I was looking forward to dressing and going to breakfast tomorrow with a friend who has seen me dressed many times ... but no, he tells me today that I must be macho tomorrow.

I need better friends!

I had tonight planned all week but nooooooo my daughter shows up with a friend staying the night with her, sooo her I sit DRAB as can be. I feel your pain :drink: are on me tonight.

...of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, this may be a good opportunity to chill out in front of the telly with a nice hot rum toddy while you let nature take its course with that nasty cold of yours :hugs:.

Speaking of Winter Olympics, whatever happened to Eddie "the Eagle" Edwards, that Basil Fawlty-like ski-jumping wannabe and Britain's answer to the Jamaican bobsledding team in the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics :eek:?

Ok so I agree that your plan wasted kinda sucks, but I will say make the best of it and take your SO out for dinner or have a nice romantic evening in, if she knows that you dress and had plans this may actually work in your favor.

[Samantha_Smile]

If your wife knows and accepts, then why couldnt you just explain your plans to her, get dressed up anyway and have a girly day together?

That could have been lots of fun!

[Karren H]

Yeah... Life sucks.....

[Tina L.]

I feel for you, my last dress up day was shot all to hell when my brother decided to replace a part on his truck and screwed up the security system. i was the only one that he would call
maybe next time.

Well you didn't get to dress today. Did you spend it with the wife? did you have a good time? Did you keep your marriage in high gear? I dress every day and would give it up for a month (if I could, at least I would try) if I had the things you have. Enjoy your loved ones, dress when you can.:hugs:

I have the similar story except mine was to atten a meeting however my S.O. wanted to do some shopping.

My sister was away for 36 hours last week, so I could have dressed up and frolicked to my heart's content during all that time. However, I got working on something that required male clothes (I can’t get my femme things dirty, you know!). That job took longer than I expected, I got tired, went to bed, and when I woke up my sister called to say she would be home in an hour. That was my missed opportunity…:sad:

No. :sad: That's the price you pay for not negotiating a compromise with your SO. Does she know that you CD? She wouldn't need to be involved, just respect that you need to express who you are.

[Rachel Morley]

I agree with Reine. Are you absolutely sure there's no way your wife would allow a small amount of girl time on your own?

[EnglishRose]

I think that in the context of this post, Nancy meant to say "doesn't approve". It doesn't make sense, otherwise.

[marlacd]

Yes, its a pain when it happens. Sometimes its best to take the time planned, and put it to your S.O. well being, that way it may get you farther along.

[Janet K.]

I feel your pain Nancy. I had planned an outing for last Friday and Saturday complete with a hotel stay Friday night and two full days of Janet, but the wonderful Dallas snowstorm of 2010 put the nail in that coffin. That's OK, I have another outing scheduled for the first weekend in March. I left early from work yesterday and decided to have a few Janet hours before going to college. It was so nice to get out and about, but I was so depressed when I had to change back into my drab clothes.

I always find it a disappointment when plans go awry, but I also love the opportunities they present... A chance to have a day with your SO when you are already psychologically free of other stuff is (for me) a rare opportunity.

The last time that happened to me, I took us out for the day (not local... to a city 60 miles away), did a film late pm (Avatar 3D), meal at one of her favourite restaurants, drive home...

So it cost me some money that I wouldn't have spent, but that was a better day... those days are rarer than hen's teeth!

I lost a day dressing on my own - I gained a shared experience with the person I love best in the world.

Result!

I really hate it when that happens. I seems like we get so little time to be ourselves. You will enjoy your next session that much more.
