Miss Manners

Miss Manners has been my favorite distraction on the internet recently. I've learned so much about my own (and other's!) social faux pas. And yet, with all my reading, I still feel ill equipped to handle a truly fancy affair, a formal dinner (quel nightmare!), and also feel very behind on all the thank you notes that I truly do owe everyone with whom I cross paths!!! I think I would reflect a much better Miss Manners' pupil if I didn't sweat so much in social situations... I always get so nervous and then it all goes downhill from there. And yet I do dream constantly of fancy, formal outings... Sigh.
