So I've been stressed out all week trying to get ready for the board meeting today. I've never met these folks, and I'm expected to summarize our department's challenges and plans in a mere 5 minutes. My boss e-mailed me yesterday to ask for some slides for the PowerPoint presentation, so I got to work early today to run some enrollment reports so I'd be knowledgeable, then I worked for an hour on two slides that would concisely overview my presentation.
I worried, I prayed, I wore my best suit and PANTYHOSE for the first time in a year. I got to the meeting early and shook hands. My boss introduced me and I got up to start my presentation one minute late, which meant I was down to four minutes. I rushed through my material, feeling pretty good about how articulate I was being, when I looked across the conference table and realized two of the board members were asleep. Literally. That's how riveting I was. Oh, well. At least I got through it.
To celebrate, Amanda met me in Tontitown at Mary Maestri's for some yummy Italian food. Tomorrow I'm packing and cleaning and getting ready to leave for Little Rock.

it's probably an age thing...board members aren't usually too young and they do have to attend "bored" meetings..zzzzzzzz...
pantyhose, really? did you go over to the ed. division to show off your sandalfoot legs? the better questions is--did you lean over in the mirror this morning to check your cleavage? that was on the list, too. if you think you might need it, i can always email you a copy--LiLar has one.
No, I wore my navy "power suit." And yes, I probably did have a little cleavage, but since all of them were asleep and/or 90, I doubt anyone noticed it. But I did have on sandalfoot hose and closed-toe shoes for the first time since Easter. And I didn't take off my jacket.
