Skirting The Issue - Blog #150

 

Blog #150. 

I never thought I'd make it this far.

Sticking with a task for more than a week is a challenge for me, let alone writing 150 entries in a Blog. It makes me feel like a success, like a person of accomplishment, like someone who is trying to come up with an ACTUAL topic for this monumental entry instaed of just shooting the bull to fill the page.

But I digress - this entry DOES have a topic, as is suggested by the title. Skirting The Issue.

I managed to get out last Saturday after a LOOONNNGGG drought of Julie Time. The first challenge was, as always, choosing an outfit. It's Saturday morning, I'm going to have breakfast at my favorite Saturday Morning Breakfast Place - Golden Corral Buffet - then do some shopping for "necessary female items". So, do I go with leggings and try to blend in, or do I go with a skirt because my "Guy Side" wears pants every day and skirts feel so good?

OOD - my favorite comfy skirt


This one shows the ACTUAL color of the top

So off I went to breakfast. I got there as they opened, so there was a line of folks entering. And of course it was a Veteran's Group - about 20 or so older men and I was in line in the literal middle of the group. The man immediately behind me was wearing a kilt, so I felt a LITTLE better about being there. (lol) There were one or two wives (I assume) with them, and no one gave me a second look.  I got to my table and the server asked, "Coffee with cream, right?" (I absolutely LOVE it when that happens!) Breakfast continued without an issue.

Next stop - Dollar Tree

I know I'll get flack for this, but I buy my lotion and make up wipes at Dollar Tree. As well as Always Pads (40 light pads for $1.25 - can't beat it) And again, no mobs with pitchforks and torches. Just a gal doing some shopping and not bothering anyone. There was one lady with a little girl in tow - maybe 5 or 6 years old - and the kid gave me a bit of a look, but I think that was because I was in the toy aisle at the time and she wanted to get at the rack I was in front of.

Next, Ross Dress For Less. But these days it's not as less as I'd like. 

I can't resist a mirror shot.

A girl's best friend is good shapewear! (giggle)

I spent way too much time there, but hardly any money. I did find a very cute dress that I liked, but it only came in a small. The curse of being a "full figured lady".

The day ended and I managed to get home without any incidents, so all in all it was a Grand Morning Out. Which is good, because with future committments and schedules I don't see another one of these happening any time soon. ~~sigh~~

I hope you all can accomplish 150 of something, even if it's only Oreos. Until next time, Stay Safe And Pretty, Sweeties.

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 ...

He Made My Day!

Image
  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...

Steppin' Out As My Baby

Image
  Trying To Stay Cool OK, life is like this. After my recent post where I ranted (yes, I RANTED, no two ways about it) about getting out, I spent an entire day . . . out! The weather outside was frightful (we don't usually get triple digit temps for more than a day or two, and it's now been over a week) but I had the opportunity and I went for it. The usual - stores, errands, grab a bite and like that. But it was an enjoyable time. OOTD I selected my Outfit Of The Day - jean skirt, kitten heels, and VERY light weight pantyhose - and I hit the trail. First stop - Dollar Tree. I usually buy my make-up wipes there as they carry a very good brand, and I get 40 wipes for $1.25. Things got off to a great start as I approached the store - a family was going in right before me (Mom, Dad and 2 girls). As I got up to the door, Dad held it open for me, with a big smile on his face. Chivalry is NOT dead! Bad News - Dollar Tree no longer carries that brand of make-up wipes! They had another...
