Oh What A Night!

 I had a few free hours drop in my lap Friday evening, so I did what ANY gal would do. I got all dolled up in my best dress, did my make-up extra special, and went out for a glass of wine and a bite to eat.  But that's when the fun started.


I even did my nails!


I headed out to a nice place located in our downtown mall - Twigs Bistro. It was probably 6 months ago when I was there last. 

As I walked up, the matre d' gal welcomed me. She had piercings on and around her nose that made an interesting pattern. I complimented her on the design, and she shot back with "And I love your bangs". 

I got a bar table, since I was alone, and the gal tending bar gave me a smile and a "Welcome Back". She remembered serving me last time I was in, and I replied that I was impressed, since it's been so long. Service was great, and the waiter agreeded to help commemorate the evening.

Only one glass of wine - don't know why my face is so red!

There was another waitress there who stood out to me. The entire staff was all in black, and EVERY one else was in slacks. She was wearing a short dress, black tights, and a shoe that I couldn't identify. Flats, almost like a high top sneaker but a full shoe.  As I was leaving, I told her "Those shoes with that dress - fierce! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise - and I bet they're comfortable all night, too." She said "I wouldn't let anyone say otherwise. And they are!" She then complimented my dress and I left on a cloud.

I walked the mall for a while - and went into Nordstrom.

I may not know art, but I know what I like

As I walked through the shoe department (I HAD to! Even though most everything was 300 to 400 dollars!) a young lady was trying on a pair of 5" pumps. I told her I thought they were cute, and she complimented me on my dress! (I REALLY need to wear this dress more often)

I stopped in a lingerie shop and asked why I can't find a bra in a 40B, and she not only explained the whys, she showed me the 2 styles she carries that offer 40B. Time did not allow any bra shopping, so I told her I'd be back.

The clock kept ticking, so I headed back to my car. But not before paying for my parking (which we have to do inside the mall, then return the ticket at the garage exit)  The gal at the booth couldn't stop talking about how much she liked my coat. (The Infamous Purple Peacoat - thank you Sister Friend Sarah) Then it was home again home again, jiggity jig.

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 ...
