Today's answer:
Yes.
So I got an Evite to a party
"...Let's make it lovely! Would you kindly adhere to the following requests?
Folks with last names A-M: Please bring a sparkling beverage: Martinelli's or inexpensive champagne will do nicely!
Folks with last names N-Z: Please bring a nice appetizer or dessert: forgo cheese whiz and oreos, pretty please!
Snappy casual/Sunday best attire is preferred! (By Sunday best, I do not mean that you can wear your "holy" jeans.) THANK YOU!..."
So I was a smidge annoyed with the requests but marked myself as a "yes" anyway. I end up running late and realized when I was nearly there that the directions I printed didn't include the building address. I didn't have her phone number or my cell phone (charging--grrrr). I drove to the Shell station and called my friend who decided to stay home. I almost lost my only quarters calling her but thankfully it didn't take one quarter the first time I dialed. Before I redialed I realized I needed to dial the area code (whew!). I got there and had a lovely time but I was the only one who _really_ dressed up. Next time I'll know to ignore her dress code, not bother to shave my legs and wear jeans. She really is a sweetie and her friend's were pretty nice too. Hey they laughed at _my_ jokes, they must be cool.
