When The Going Gets Tough - The Tough Go Shopping

When a single gal has a free morning - what does she do?



I had errands to run (big surprise!) so I added a fun stop to cap it all off.


 First stop - The Bank. (obviously)  Then on to the grocery store for some necessities.


Then to the Dollar Tree - because paying more than a dollar for 10 maxi pads is just plain stupid!  As I sat in the parking lot of Dollar Tree, I thought, "Where have I been wanting to go for a while but haven't had time/availability to do so?"  Well, a quick thought back to my lingerie drawer reminded me I have a half dozen pair of stockings, but no garter belt!  Soooooo . . . . 


 The gal working there, Ashley, was so incredibly helpful and accepting, the experience was a dream!  AND - - - they were having a 2 for 1 sale!!

Even though Ashley offered the dressing rooms, I waited until I got home to actually try on the 2 belts I did buy, and they fit perfectly. (maybe I'll post THOSE photos in another entry -- a sexy lingerie entry maybe!)



Hope your week was wonderful - and your next week will be even better!

Stay safe and pretty, Sweeties!

Down Memory Lane -- In Pumps

Funny how a random comment or reference can trigger a memory. That happened to me this morning.   I was reminded of the Halloween in my Jr year of high school when I decided to be "a hooker" and enlisted the VERY willing help of a female friend, Alice. It was mostly her wardrobe, and I have vague memories of exactly what I was wearing. I went to her house the week prior to select the "costume". She had laid out 4 or 5 dresses for me to try.  The first one was perfect, but that didn't stop me from wanting to try on all the others. Her mother, who was assisting, commented that I was enjoying my little fashion show. Alice supplied the shoes as well - good thing we were the same size - and I told her I'd take care of the undergarments. Our town did a Halloween Parade during the day on Oct 31, and I had "marched" with 2 friends - we were The Marx Brothers handing out candy along the parade route. So that evening I had transformed from Groucho to a Lady

Blog Entey #130! - Where Everbody Wants To Know Your Name

  Blog Entry #130 - who-da thunk it!  I don't think I've done 130 of many other things, but here I am - Blog #130.  Feel free to look back and enjoy any of the previous 129 articles, I know I will. But for now, here we go . . .  I was able to get out last week (finally!) for a few hours. I planned some shopping, both necessities and clothes browsing.  I also planned to end the evening at Applebee's for a glass of wine and a snack.   I questioned the purple with the red, but I think it works I managed to NOT buy anything (other than the necssities) so I was REALLY looking forward to the wine. I pulled into Applebee's parking lot and it was packed. Honestly, when I see that, my first reaction is to NOT go in. Too many people, too many opportunities for being "read". But the lack of anything fun happening up to that point gave me the courage to get out of the car and walk in. In the parking lot - One Giant Step For Julie As I entered, there were a few folk waitin

Brief Encounter - Lasting Impression

Image
  OK - have to share this story because I'm still not sure how I feel about it. I was on my lunch break the other day (I work in drab) and popped into Mod Pizza. There in line in front of me was a young couple - I'm guessing early 20's. And she was . . . a Julie. I first noticed that her red shoulder length hair was too perfect, She was wearing a pretty floral dress (even downtown during the work day, a little over dressed) fucia sling back pumps and a matching fucia wrist bag, and a nice tan top coat over it all. She caught my attention, so I observed closely. Her voice was pitched high, but maybe too high. Her hands were not large, but borderline "man hands". I took the step and complimented her on her cute bag. She looked at me (mask on) and said Thank You. Her eyes were smiling, but I could tell her brows were not being taken care of. On my way out with my salad, I passed her as they waited for their pizzas. I stepped up again and told her I liked he
