To be quite honest, I liked having a room full of 30-something guys looking at my butt all night. Twenty-three times I got up in front of the room to write down my dad’s fantasy baseball draft picks.  Two of my good guy-friends helped me with dad’s strategy (thanks guys!)  We only had to call him a few times for more reserves.  Hope he can better his 4^th place 2010 standing.  Overall, I had a good time! The trash talk and banter was fun – and got more so as the number of beers drained increased.  These guys drink beers by the bucket.  One bucket equals one beer.  I don’t drink any kind of beer that comes in a bucket.  But I do drink Lucky Bucket.  www.luckybucketbrewery.com

I took  what I thought was a major fashion risk this morning with my clothing choice for the Metro Omaha Women’s Business Center Success Series.  www.mowbcf.org  See, this being a new chapter in my life and finally embracing everything that is truly me….I am having a lot of fun with unusual/funky/fun clothes and accessories (thanks sis!)  Today’s outfit from Omaha’s Nouvelle Eve Boutique www.nouvelleeve.com  consisted of black trumpet leg pants (looks like a long, full skirt when standing) and a light pink, ruffled, military-type jacket with ten brass buttons paralleling each lapel and some smokin’ crystal, dangling earrings.  I couldn’t decide if it was more of an evening look…I waivered in the mirror this morning but decided what the hell!  I felt glamorous and fashion forward.  And as they say, attitude is everything.  I rocked it and the outfit.  Many compliments.  The risk paid off!  Or did it?  Of course I am worth it…I just may not be able to afford it.
