Tinsley Mortimer: Freaking Out Would Be an Understatement

So we are packing granny panties?! 

How to Watch

I tend to overpack when I'm nervous, and packing for Sag Harbor was no exception. Clearly trying to enlist Sonja to help did not work. The first thing she wanted to pack was granny panties?! Not sure why she thought those would be necessary for the weekend. I was thinking of something more like sweaters, Barbour jackets, hats, and boots. Granny panties don't scream Hamptons to me, much less for a girl like my new roommate. With her constant talk about sex and her playful, wild side, granny panties seem a bit incongruous! But these townhouse walls are thin and the grannies are working for her, surprisingly. Trust me! I still can't help but feel a drastic need to "weed" out some of her lingerie choices!

I was a bit nervous to travel out to the Hamptons for a night with the girls. I used to go to Southampton every weekend in the summer with my former husband, but I was getting the vibe that this trip wasn't going to be quite as relaxing. However, I was still excited to go and wear some fall gear! The house that Sonja and I went to in Sag before meeting up with the other girls was super chic and totally my style. So, it did make me feel more at home and a bit more calm about Ramona's upcoming party. Sonja humping my bed didn't hurt either and certainly lightened the mood! Standard Sonja! 

Since I had only met these ladies once before, to say I was freaking out would be an understatement. I had also heard a lot about them from my current roommate…especially this Dorinda character! I just didn’t know what to expect. Would she be like the Wicked Witch of the West or the East? God forbid I actually like the girl and upset Sonja! I'm so grateful for her moving me into her house, but I really don't want to get caught in the crossfires of their battle! I wanted to keep an open mind about everything since the party at Sonja’s went well, and everyone seemed pretty nice. But you know how a trip with the girls can go...

All I can say is I hope Luann is right, and the townhouse will bring me some good karma...I think I'm going to need it at Ramona's party. 

Xoxo
