Over the weekend I attended a big fancy party. It was an engagement party hosted by the rich and not famous. It was in a huge & beautiful home. It was catered. It was crowded. There was even a bartender who kept finding me and topping off my wine glass. Naturally I didn’t want to be rude and say “no thanks” so I kept allowing him to do it.

Back to the party. I do them well. I mingle. I chat. It’s where I thrive. Plus I wore a hot little dress that makes me smile. Towards the end of the evening (translates to consumption of lots of alcohol) I was pulled aside to meet another group of people. This group happened to be a small group of men. Not small in size, they were regular sized men. We were all making idle chit chat about the weather, the party, the cute engaged couple, living in other cities, traveling, whatever. Then out of the blue one man blurted out (directly to me) “I’m married.”  This comment was so out of place and odd that it felt like time stopped and the room got super quiet.  I responded with, “I’m single.” I could have added, “dumbass” but it didn’t go with my dress. 

So my question is this..

Why did he say it?

The only explanation I can come up with is this.  He heard me say, “Can you unzip my dress?” when I really said something like “Canoe near Madras?”. Although I’m certain that canoeing never came up in conversation or it would have been my cue to excuse myself to grab another glass of wine.

Life in Salt Lake is great.  There’s plenty to do, plenty to drink and plenty of everything.  I love social stuff.  I don’t love alone time.  I mapped out my weekend to see what it looks like.

Friday: after work – MS fund raiser/auction then Drinking Liberally social

Saturday: early afternoon fashion show, errands and ?

Sunday: tweet up brunch & dinner/drinks/movie with a friend

If you have any ideas for fun fillers, I’ll gladly hear them.  Otherwise I’ll be a risk to spend time with myself which always ends in a fight.
