National Girls Night Out - A Pictoral Essay

Image
 Well, not ENTIRELY pictoral . . .  It was a Tuesday night, and I was alone - so maybe more appropriately called A Girl's Night Out.  But I made the most of it. I walked around downtown, visited a few of our classier hotels, but didn't meet anyone who offered to buy me a drink. (sigh) I felt beautiful, and had to assume it was true since no one complimented me, or even spoke to me. Oh well, maybe NEXT year. Stay Safe And Pretty, Sweeties.

Happy Halloween - or - Come Fly With Me

Image
  I started a new job back in April - working at a law firm as "Support Staff". Pretty much keeping the office running while everyone else does legal stuff.  And in male drab mode, of course. This firm likes to party, so when word went out 2 weeks ago about the Halloween Day Costume Contest, I was intrigued. My previous employer(s) never paid much attention to Halloween.

Absolultley nothing to report initially -- a stop at the ATM, then Dollar Tree (Always Panty Liners pack of 40 for $1.25 - who can resist!), Walmart (needed some make up) and then a snack.  It turns out the closest eattery of my choice (Perkins) is closed!  Gone!! Kaput!!!  Too bad, the staff there were ALWAYS friendly and complimentary. So I went to the next closest - Denny's. I was in the mood for pie and coffee, so Denny's it is. I walked in, it wasn't too busy, and the server at the counter was cashing someone out and said he'd be right with me. He was a late 20's guy named Daniel. He took me to a booth ("Is a booth O...
