Last night Jeff and I attended the 29th Annual Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce Chairman's Ball with Stephanie and Charles. The theme was Rhinestones & Wranglers and people wore either boots and jeans or black tie. I wish I had worn boots and jeans (and a winter coat) - it was so cold in ballroom! I wore Jeff's suit coat most of the night.They had pool tables set up and a corner to play washers, as well as several neon signs on the walls. Stephanie's law firm bought a table and she invited a bunch of people to attend. We were placed at a table decorated by the owners of the local TCBY. I won the table decorations, so I took home a giant martini glass filled with TCBY pens, flowers and about 4 jars of salsa. I end up winning the table decorations every year because they go to whoever's birthday is closest to the date (mine is Aug. 31).
The event honored the outgoing chairman who wanted the ball to be like a honky tonk. He rode into the ballroom on a golf cart decorated with University of Texas flags while their school fight song played. All the Aggies in the room collectively rolled our eyes!!
