Thanks for the information.

It's Saturday. We have nothing planned. 

I wake up and come downstairs to eat. Once we finish eating and I clear the table, I head back upstairs. I have plans to do absolutely nothing for the day... This will be the first day of nothing since I've been here. 

I spend my day reading, listening to music, just hanging out. To be completely honest, I haven't even put pants on except to eat. 

Around 7:00, I come downstairs to say hello to Roberto because I can hear him speaking. 

Don't worry... I put pants on for this activity. 

I come down the stairs and say hello to Roberto in the hallway. He's wearing a dress shirt and slacks, not uncommon for just getting home from work. Then I meet Claudia in the kitchen... She's wearing a dress. I'm beginning to get suspicious. 

It all comes out when I see Vittoria walk out of the bathroom dressed nicely as well. 

"Where are we going?" I ask. 

She replies with, "To the Rotary dinner I told you about on Monday." 

Oh I see now... "Were you planning on reminding me?" 

"I thought you knew." 

Yes, of course I knew. That's why I came downstairs looking similar to this: 

...minus the beard.

I did manage to get through the shower, get dressed, and do my hair and makeup before everybody else was ready. 

It's quite an accomplishment, if you ask me. 

I went from a hobo-haired person wearing socks, boxers, glasses and an oversized t-shirt to somebody acceptable be the general public. All in less than 30 minutes. 

Welcome to my life.
