Tomorrow some friends from work and I are going to a SciFi convention at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.  So, I've decided to take a new approach to going out.  Usually I run a brush through my hair, throw on whatever's clean, grab my sunglasses and I'm ready.  Friends (Christine) have pointed out that maybe if I want to one day leave Single Town, I might want to actually do some of the girly things most women do.  So now getting ready for this thing has turned into a two day event.  Had to buy something to wear.  I hate shopping, so I had nothing to wear unless I wanted to wear work clothes.  And who wants to wear business attire on the weekend?  Off to the mall and found a great top and pair of jeans.  I needed them anyway so I felt no guilt buying them.  Then of course I had to get a bra to go with the top.  One of those with the clear straps.  I also needed nail polish to match the top. Lucked out there.  I found one that matched perfectly.

Tonight I'm doing my nails.  Having my shower.  Straightening my hair.  Not that it will stay that way.  With the humidity it will start to curl again in no time.  But at least I'm making the effort.  And then tomorrow I will actually be putting on makeup.  The most makeup I wear is lipstick and I rarely do that.  But for the convention I will be going with eyeshadow, lipstick.  The works.  That means having to get up a lot earlier than I'd have to get up if I was just running a brush through my hair and throwing in a ponytail and putting on some lipstick.

Now, I have to get to bed.  Even though tomorrow is Saturday I have to get up at the same time I would if I was going to work.  Being a girl is too much work.  After this I might go back to the no makeup, run a brush through the hair morning.  That only takes twenty minutes and no preparation the night before.

Happy blogging!
