It's All In The Name

 


I was recently asked why I don't write about issues, or opinions, or existential stuff.  Why is my Blog all about the play by play of my travels. Well, just look at the title of the Blog -----

JULIE - OUT AND ABOUT


Nuff said.

Now, back to our story . . . 


Today's excursion was unexciting (especially since I was alone - but I won't harp on THAT any more in this installment) but it did have a highlight.

OOD - casual and comfy

I needed mascara so I hit CVS. No major interactions with anyone, just in and out. Then to the Mall (yes, I still go to the Mall) for some walking around. I find that, since retiring, I need to get out and walk more. Where better than the Mall.

You never know WHO you're going to run into

The Mall is open for walking at 9, but the shops don't open until 11. So I did some window shopping - or window TREATMENT shopping.

I've been accused of being cheeky, but not like this

My soft wear could stand some updating

The need for coffee kicked in, so on my way home I stopped at a new coffee stand (new to me). As I pulled in, I saw their sign -- Lingerie Coffee, Topless Tuesdays and Thursdays. Since today is Thursday I considered turning around - I didn't want to add to the exploitation of ladies. But I was spotted, and the gal at the window was wearing a mesh teddy. Not topless, but leaving precious little to the imagination. I ordered an Americano and she engaged me in pleasant conversation, complimenting me on my top (I did NOT return the compliment)(giggle) and she gave me the Ladies' Discount. 

It was VERY hot, I hope she doesn't ever spill while serving!

She made my morning, and the coffee was good, too!

Next stop was a thrift shop, looking for some new (to me) soft wear. This was one I'd never been to before, and they had precious little in the way of clothing. 

Sorry, thought we needed another photo!

After that, it was home again to get some chores done. Laundry, mostly. Which means loading the machine, starting it, and planting my butt somewhere to wait. 

Butt Planted

Maybe next installment I'll discuss something of importance - something to debate - something of depth. But right now, I need something to fill my tummy.

Stay Safe And Pretty, Sweeties.

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.

At Long Last Loved Getting Out

Image
They say "Good Things Come To Those Who Wait". Well, I waited, and it was . . . . pretty good. It would have been better if I had someone to share it with, but I got out and that's the important thing. Getting the house to myself is always the hardest part, and that I did. Which allowed me to get ready at my leisure.  I got home from work at 5 and started the Julie-fication Process. The Outfit Of The Evening I ultimately changed shoes - and hair - before going out.  As we are now a 1 car household I was relegated to the bus and walking. Not that I don't like those transportation methods, but it does limit my options for where to go. Just another lady on the bus My neighbor - a friend but very conservative - was not at home, so walking out the front door wasn't a problem. To the bus stop, then to one of our newer shopping areas - Kendall Yards. I wasn't sure what time places closed there on a Thursday, but I took my chances. Turns out most of the shops closed a...
