Today was a great day! We got up early in order to get to the bankruptcy attorney's office by 9am. I got dressed in my Red Hat gear, long sleeve silky purple shirt, knee length black skirt, and my red hat. I didn't know how long we were going to be at the attorney's and my Red Hatter's Luncheon was at 1130 today.
So we arrive at the attorney's office but got there 10 minutes early and no one was there yet, so we went back downstairs to wait in the lobby. At 9, we went back up and the secretary was there just opening up. She started us out with filling out the forms while the attorney showed up and made some calls. Soon we were in to see him. He was a nice guy and explained the different types of bankruptcy, Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. Chapter 13 was a restructuring of your debt so you could pay it back, which we had no ability to do, and Chapter 7, total absolution of your debt. Chapter 7 was what we decided was the only option for us. So we agreed on a retainer and then the fee. We got a massive amount of paperwork to take home and fill out, to bring back the next week by Tuesday. A bunch of documents needed to be downloaded and copied, which the wonderful hubby did while I went to my Red Hatter's Christmas Luncheon.
The Ladies of the Red and Purple Cloth met with the Dazzling Divas and we each brought a gift for the gift exchange. There was also 4 door prizes. The lunch was a limited menu, circle what you wanted, take it up to the cashier, pay and order at the same time. I knew I should have gotten the Cobb Salad but was torn with the Chardonnay Chicken. I chose the chicken but when it arrive, it was full of mushrooms in the sauce and there was no taste of wine. I was disappointed in my choice. While we were choosing what we wanted to eat, we were sung to by an accapella women's group. They were very good.
We had the gift exchange while waiting for our food and I got a rose ornament. I was a little disappointed but felt very happy when I got one of the door prizes, a statue of a female kneeling with white wings. Beautiful! And it is not Christmasy so can stay out all year.
The rest of the day I spent home relaxing and playing on the computer. Tomorrow I start crocheting again.
