Julie - Out and About

I have a full week of Julie Time at home -- well, except for going to work in drab mode. I started off with plans - going out with a few friends to a movie, to church, to brunch. BUT --- Don'tcha love it when "Life" gets in the way. Due to circumstances beyond ANYONE'S control, I spent the first day (Saturday) by myself. I did get out, I did some errands and managed to grab an appetizer and a glass of wine at my favorite watering hole. I also premierd a new top - for the Summer Heat that has finally arrived here in Spokane. The moral of the story - keep moving forward and cherish the time we can grab with those nearest and dearest to us. Stay Safe And Pretty, Sweeties.

Much has happened in the past 6 weeks since my last post. But, then again, not much happened at all. Thanks, Pandemic! I have taken to dressing when and where I can, which usually means getting all pretty to do the grocery shopping . . . . . . or the household chores. The saving grace has been getting together with Sarah and Linda -- The Sister Friends have talked, cried, laughed, and encouraged each other a few times. Each Coffee Date bringing enough mental serenity and uplift to carry me to the next one. If the past year has taught me nothing else, it has shown me that no matter what happens, no matter the trials and hardships, keep moving forward. And do it in great company! Stay Safe and Pretty, Sweeties!

  As we approach the end of the year, it seems like the holidays are all bunched together.  Makes me think that eons ago, the People in Charge of Making The Calendar had a set amount of holidays to add, and when they got to October they realized they still had quite a few left - so they crowded them all in! 😁 Once the turkey left overs got put away, it was time to start in on the Christmas decorations.  But if you know me at all, you know that certain things cannot happen unless certain OTHER things happen. First things first - what to wear! Something feminine yet practical.  A casual yet comfy outfit of blue tank top, duster, skort, hose, and flats of course! Now that I was properly decorated, it was time to start in on the tree.  Normally I like to separate Thanksgiving and Christmas. But with all the heartaches and headaches 2020 has been bringing, I felt the need to echo the lyric of that Holiday Song - "We need a little Christmas, Right this very minute." ...
