New Clothes - Same Haunts




4 Days Of Julie (mostly) and it was the same old same old.  But ANY chance to get out and interact with folks while "pretty" is a thrill for your scribe.  So, lots of pics, very little story - but they say one picture IS worth a thousand words, so hold on to your garters, 'cause here we go!


Outfit for Night One  

In the last 12 months I have lost about 20 pounds, which means most of my wardrobe is in the donation bin.  But this little purple dress was too tight on me.  But NOW . . . !! I was absolutely thrilled to be able to wear it out, even if it was only to dinner by myself.


 It was chilly, so I needed a wrap, unfortunately.  On this trip I DID learn that I no longer hesitate when needing to use the Ladies Room.  I now move boldly and quickly (depending on how much I've had to drink).   And I don't fear to  linger at the mirror and make sure my lips are just right.

A nice glass of Chardonnay at Applebee's, watching folks watching me



Night Two - warmer outfit (these tights actually stay up all night!!)  I finished work early enough to hit some of the Outlet Mall Shops, picking up some silky shorts at the Vanity Fair Store.

Perfect Isn't Easy

Night Three was actually Halloween, but being a Thursday no one was having a party.  So after  getting a glass of wine at Applebee's (and helping judge the costumes of the employees!) I needed something sweet.

Pecan Pie - yummy!
Fill up the tank in preparation for an early morning departure, then say final goodbyes to the fine folk in Chehalis.  It was a wonderful few days, and will be FAR too long until the next visit.  






















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...
