Balls

This past weekend I went to the Signal Corps Regimental ball with my wonderful husband. We seem to attend one ball a year. Well after this past ball I have made a few decisions. I do enjoy getting to dress up like Cinderella and spend an evening with just my husband. The location of the ball was very nice, The Grand Hyatt in Seoul. During dinner the 8th Army Jazz Band played and they could have played all evening, wouldn't have bothered me at all.  The food was good as well. Anyway, back to why I am posting about this ball. The decisions I have made are: 1) I will no longer wear high heels, they are so over rated and I would rather have happy and comfortable feet than miserable feet that have been stuffed into heels. 2) I am going to learn to do my own hair. It is nice to have someone do your hair but after this past experience I think I might just teach myself. I started taking bobby pins out of my hair before the ball even started as they were digging into my head. My hair had gotten pulled, teased, and my poor head hurt from the stabbing of multiple bobby pins.  We had a good time and it was even better as we had a lot of friends in attendance. I supposed that I could do the hair thing again as it is only once a year but I am not so sure about the heels. I am now on the search for a cute pair of platform flip-flops that I can wear under a ball gown!

This was our salad. It was smoked salmon with chive and onion on top of a thin bread piece with quail eggs. It was pretty good!
