Today, as I sit here at 530AM watching the sun come up - yeh it rises early here, fully up by 530am... I'm wondering what kind of fascinator I will be wearing today.
 
Today folks is Melbourne Cup day, the day as they say that "stops a nation", not that I'm into horse racing at all, its still a fun day.
 
I have a very sexy and sleek dress to wear, its actually denim, however it is a dark brown with pure gold fleck through it (not real gold, gold looking) it basically looks painted on, wide should straps, and finishes just on my knees.  I have very high heals to wear (not good for my back but a girl still needs some girl things right?) and a cute little hand bag.
 
My boss said she has a couple of fascinators she'll bring in and see which one looks best.
 
At 1130am we'll be heading off to a Melbourne Cup luncheon, its being held by the Leukemia foudation, so only they benefit from it.  People bid on horses to raise money instead of betting  which I like, I don't quite like betting or gambling.
 
Should be a great luncheon, I've ben given the rest of the day off however might sneak back to the office on the 230pm bus and try get a couple of hours in on my end of month.
 
You'd think being the business owners that you'd prefer your workers to work right? well my boss obviously thinks its just as important to have a good time too LOL I love my boss.
 
I'm actually looking forward to the distraction, got lots on my mind of late and life certainly is challeging right now, so a free lunch, a little fun and a nice dress should go a long way into lifting my spirits a bit.

    Wow, that sounds really neat Lucy, I didn't know about the Melbourne Cup.  I think the luncheon you're going to is a really great idea, what a neat way to sort of get in on the fun and excitement of 'betting', without the selfish means for it, so instead it goes to a wonderful cause.  I hope you have fun and do get to kick back a bit, I mean, with the outfit you'll have, you gotta have a little fun to go with it!

    I hope so Hege, I need it right now.  Life's trying hard to get me down and kick me while I'm down so yeh, girly fun, pretty fun and raising funds fun.

    SOunds like a fun day ahead - any chance of seeing which one you finally decided to wear......? Whats that you said about life being challenging? Having something on your mind?
    If there is one thing that I have realised it is that life Dear Lucy is for the birds.Take it one day at a time,and just keep your head up above the clouds - the minute you start to drop that chin,then the mist starts to settle and you cant really see whats staring you in the face.Besides - walking around with your head down is bad for your spine - ask me,I'll tell you.

    Yes Lucy, what IS a fascinator? I'm glad you are going to having a pleasant day in a fascinating dress. Tell us how it goes......

    I'm taking a wild stab at this, but I think a fascinator is a hat? Do I win a prize? ;)
     
    Sounds like the type of day and the type of boss that every girl needs.  You go strut your stuff in those high heels, just don't pull a frag move and fall down in them...would love to see a picture of you all decked to the nines!

    The outfit sounds as cool as the event, and can I have your boss?  Hope you have (had) fun.

    (If a "fascinator" is a hat as suggested, then that's even more cool.  Everytime I see a movie about Australia, I picture you, and sometimes look for you in the background!)
