Friday

Ha – get it? I named the post Friday, because that’s how fast and packed this week is… it is going to be Friday before we know it! The turkey is bought and dethawing. (I totally learned my lesson about that one year when I didn’t start defrosting it early enough and it was still frozen on Thanksgiving morning. My dad had to run out and buy a fresh one to save my disaster. Oops.)

This weekend we were able to go downtown (Chicago) with friends and enjoy dinner and walking a million miles a while in the freezing brisk night air. It’s always hard to be a girl and have to decide whether you’re going to dress for fashion v. function. I chose half functionable/half fashion on the boots and yeah… Just be careful, girls. Stay safe, but cute. Anyway, we had dinner and then went to see Selah and Avalon at Moody Church. It’s always fun to see groups in person, so we enjoyed it. They are involved with helping with World Vision and were encouraging people to sign up to sponsor a child. Go here for more information on how you can do that.

Now, we know these friends. We’re not strangers. But at what point in the friendship is it okay to demand that they stop for drinks before you die of thirst and coldness? I decided we were at that point, and if they wanted to complain about it and never call us again, so be it. Selah.

Yes, I got my drink.

Yes, they even talked to us the next day, so I think we’re still cool.

Now I want to know: Do you choose Fashion over Function or Function over Fashion? I also want to know, if we were all out on a cold walk, would you be honest and tell me if you needed a warm drink?

  1. You looked mahvalus, dahling!

    This is where guys don’t get it and, this is the perfect example. We, females, have various lengths of pants which require various heights of heels, which in-turn require various styles of shoes according to the occasion, our mood, distance required to walk. There are so many variables. That’s why we have so many pairs of shoes. NEED so many pairs of shoes.

    I vote for many choices. Lots. You should be comfortable AND fashionable. Muy importante.

    I hope this makes sense cuz someone is literally talking to me while I’m writing this…

  2. P.S. I don’t care who they re, if you’re hungry or thirsty let them know.

  3. fashion, at least for a night out. I remember two years ago wearing new (unbroken in) high heels in winter in downtown Pittsburgh. When the night was over my feet were killing me!!!(this past year I wore flats though!!) But it was worth it. Stay at home moms, at least me anyway, don’t get to be fashionable very often!! Especially when our days are spent at the side of a very humid and hot pool while our children practice for four hours!!!!!!!

  4. I would definitely suggest a warm beverage! Or Garretts popcorn (if the line isn’t around the corner!)!

  5. It’s agreed then: Cute shoes – Necessary no matter the cost!

    And hot drinks for all – oh, and, Sue, I would (and do) totally wait in line for Garrett’s!!!

  6. I’m surprised Mike didn’t chime in on the shoe question. :)

  7. 2 reasons for function over fashion…i am a male, and i live on the equator in Southeast Asia. Fashion ONLY becomes a remote concern for me when it is utterly demanded by protocol. Otherwise, function is the only concern. YITBOP…

  8. hey, ty. yeah, definitely two strikes against fashion with the Male + Equator thing.

    i bet paula has some cute shoes, though. :)

  9. On the fashion vs. function thing its a toss-up. I can go either way depending on the activity. And sometimes I do what you did and go halfway.

    And yes, I would tell you I need a hot drink. Would you still speak to me the next day :) ?
