3 Days Out - Heavenly!




They said it couldn't be done . . . they said it should never have been attempted . . . they should keep their big mouths shut!

Let's cover a marvelous 3 day weekend of Julie in one blog post.  Hold onto your girdles, ladies -- here we go! 


Saturday night - The Sister Friends hit the town for dinner and drinks.  We added a new "member" (Welcome To The Sister Friends, Christy!) as well as knocked an item of Julie's Bucket List!

Sarah, Julie, Linda, and Christy can all fit into a Size 372 Pump!

Since this has been on  my list for almost 5 years, our Staff Photographer (Sarah) insisted on a solo shot, too.


Dinner was lovely, and followed by drinks at a martini bar made for a delightful evening with Friends.

Sunday - I invited a NEW friend to lunch (Hi Kendra!) along with her spouse. In the interest of privacy we put the cameras away during the meal - but . . . . 

 


I just HAD to snap a few of the proud hostess and the pretty table she set!





Delightful dinner - great conversation - and Kendra got to go out during the day.  Win Win!

That evening, Linda and I headed downtown for a treat -- ice cream at Ben and Jerry's!!


Due to bus schedules, it had to be an early evening.  But it was - as always - an enjoyable one.

Monday - Errands.  On the bus . . . 

  
. . . at the bank . . . 


 . . . to Starbucks . . . 



 . . . all the while having the feeling that I was being followed.



 AFTER THOUGHTS -- as always, 3 days "out" made the next 5 days "in" feel very confining.  Even if I could still dress, it's not the same as being out with friends.  Ah well, baby steps must precede full trot.

My outfit from Saturday night.









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 ...
