Tonight we went to the Beautiful After Breast Cancer party in Dallas. Me, Jeremy and my mom got dressed up, or as much as I could and headed out. The dress code was cocktail attire, which I do not look good in, in my current state. But I got as made up as I could and hoped I would fit in. I was so wrong.
We got to the event at a snazzy Dallas hotel. Everyone there was dressed like they were on the runway and everyone had a drink in their hand. Jeremy and I spent most of the night just watching everyone else move around the pool and dance to the live music. I was fun to watch my doctors get down and show themselves having a good time. It's weird to see them in a different light, outside the office, but a great chance for some candid photos. lol
Dr. A. and Dr. L. spoke about the Beautiful After Breast Cancer Foundation and what they do. Later there was a raffle for some paintings and Clinique services. Before the end of the night, breast cancer patients and survivors were given some beautiful handmade jewelry made by a local artist.
The event was fun and I loved having a reason to get out of the house besides going to the doctor or the grocery store. But I felt very out of place. I felt like the country bumpkin who came to the big city party. Everyone there looked so great and wasn't 'lumpy' like I am. Not to mention everyone got drunk real fast - and since Jeremy and I don't drink, it made me feel even more like an oddball.
But it was still quite a sight! I got lots of photos and listened to the band all night. When I got home, I washed off the make up I actually wore that night and took the cap off my head. ZZZZZZZZZZ
