Hitting The Town! (Night 2 - The Persecution)

Persecution: a program or campaign to drive away or subjugate people based on their religious, social, or ethnic group - Webster
(Which is often in the eye of the beholder - Julie)

As I prepared to go out on night two of my out of town excursion, I decided to wear one of the items I picked up yesterday at the Hanes/Bali Outlet Store.  They had a clearance rack that was an eclectic mix of lingerie and active wear, and after scouring it carefully I found a pair of leggings in my size AND a fun color.


More fun than Basic Black


I had a later start this evening due to working until 7, which meant my options for location were few.  I was peckish, so I went to my stand by spot, Denny's.  The Waitress, Christine, greeted me warmly and seated me.  She was smiling and friendly -- but I wondered about her choice of location.

A little empty, eh?

The other side of the restaurant was not packed, but had a few folk who seemed like regulars.  I immediately wondered about her choice, but should have recognized my feelings as just paranoid rantings.  When Christine returned with my coffee I asked about her seating me there.  She told me it was her section, and since she had just come on duty it was empty.  She then apologized for making me feel like it was otherwise.  I felt bad -- VERY bad -- about accusing her of anything else.  I apologized deeply (a number of times, as well as left her a HUGE tip) but couldn't forgive myself for how I made her feel. ~~sigh~~  

I tried to cheer myself up by shopping, but again the options in this small community after 8:30PM were limited.  So it was off to Walmart where I found another Clearance Bin Sale.  I picked up a cute bra for only $3!! (it fit and everything, too)  The lady at the checkout complimented me on finding such a deal.

Returning to the hotel, bra in hand!

Even with that positive experience - both the bargain AND the Check Out Lady's jovial and friendly attitude -  I felt like I had to end this night. So it was off to bed.

Nighty night!

Tomorrow is another day - and it was a nice one, too.  Next time, Night 3 - Uneventful Events.

Stay safe and pretty, Sweeties!

He Made My Day!

  I had a few hours to get out this afternoon, and I was looking forward to it, especially since I don't care two bits about "sports ball".  So I got all dolled up in my best weather appropriate outfit - black tights and pumps, black pencil skirt, hot pink top and 3/4 sleeve jacket.  I added a coat, grabbed my bag and headed out. 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...

Out and About -- FINALLY!

Image
  After FAR too long of being restricted to dressing for a limited time and only at home, I was able to get out on the town this weekend.  I had some adventures and I will try to keep them interesting (no guarantees, Sweeties). So let's get this show on the road! I started out on Saturday, getting some breakfast at my favorite eattery (for breakfast, that is) They have the BEST breakfast buffet I got to my table, and the server approached me and asked "Coffee AND water?" I told her just coffee, and she said, "I tried to remember. Welcome back." Wow! Service worthy of a good tip. I then went to Costco to pick up half a dozen items, and when I got to the self-checkout my debit card was rejected.  REJECTED?? (I forgot that I had had a call from their Fraud Dept on Friday about a contested charge. It was a false charge, so they apparently put a block on my card.) ~~sigh~~ There is a branch of my credit union not to far away, so off I went to get the situation dealt ...

Down Memory Lane -- In Pumps

Image
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 ...
