Keeping me on my toeshttp://www.weberfarm.com/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=552
Spring is a busy time on the farm. After all, the ground is just about starting to thaw, so we have no more excuses not to be out their digging – no matter what the weather!
You can’t worry too much about what you look like when you’re doing this kind of manual labour. Although Cassie did always manage to look stylish when she was helping out, even down to her very inappropriate manicures. Me, I often don’t have time to brush the hair on my head, let alone worry about hair removal anywhere else, so when an invitation came to a friend’s birthday party, I accepted and put it to the back of my mind, figuring I had plenty of time to find an outfit and to make myself look pretty.
Wouldn’t you know it? The damn party only went and crept up on me! There I was taking a well-earned break from the field by tidying up in the living room (I know, I lead such a glamorous life…) when I found the invitation hidden behind the mantelpiece clock and realised it was dated tomorrow.
No panic, I thought. I have a couple of dresses in the wardrobe upstairs that I haven’t worn in ages, so that’s the same as having a new frock right? Well, that might work if I hadn’t put on a few pounds since the last time I got invited to a posh party! In the end, the only vaguely party-ish outfit I could find involved strappy sleeves and quite a plunging neckline! Not my usual style, but it was either that or my muck-stained jeans and sweater…
Next problem was what to do about those hairy underarms – especially with my female razor rusted up and stuck to the shelf in the bathroom cabinet. I knew hubby would never forgive me if he caught me using his fancy five-blade affair to remove the forest that had grown in my armpits, so it was either face his wrath or do a Julia Roberts. I still can’t decide which is worse; a grumpy hubby or social suicide. Help!
