I've been hemming and hawing about buying this set of frivolity. The colors attracted me to this sleep set, and I felt that it might look strange on me. But once I wore it for the first time, I can say that it is comfortable - and I may just wear it when RQS is not around.
But first....
Today's weather forecast was for heat and humidity. It was not a day to go outside, nor was it a day to do anything strenuous. So I used the already-present summer excuse, and skipped doing the laundry again. (I'll have to do it tomorrow, as RQS will be here on Friday.) However, I eventually got moving, as I wanted to see the above sleep set before buying it with cash. (All my credit cards now have a zero balance, and I want to keep it that way for a while.) So, I drove down to Lane Bryant at 3:00, and was examining the garments one last time by 3:45. Shortly afterward, the garments were in the car, and I was on the way home.
There is one more garment that I want to buy. But I'm not sure if I want to buy it without RQS looking at it. I wouldn't have much use for it right now. Yet, it would be nice to have in my closet for a special occasion, such as gala night on a cruise ship. I figure that the above dress could be dressed up a little by the use of the correct jewelry, and I think it would look good on me. So I think RQS and I will be making a trip to the store over the weekend, weather permitting.
Rush hour starts around 4:00 pm around here, and I took a slightly convoluted way home. Although I had just enough time to do the laundry, I left this for one of the tasks I'll do tomorrow. Instead of laundry, I took a needed nap until it was time to meet Maria. (In retrospect, I should have done laundry, as Maria left for the restaurant 30 minutes later than planned, giving me the extra time that would have been needed to take care of this task.) At 7:10, I left for El Coyote. I've never had a bad meal here, and it is one of my Mexican standbys. When I got to the restaurant, I found out that my cell phone could not connect to any service there. (It's a common problem when indoors in some places. I may need to buy a new phone which can work with more frequencies. But I digress.) So I was out of reach until I left the place.
Around 8:00, Maria finally arrived, and we both ordered Paella. Yum! Hopefully, the leftovers will taste at least half as good as when they were first served. We talked for a couple of hours, and could have gone on longer. Too bad that there was no one else in the place. We decided to leave, though we weren't being rushed out. Why should anyone stay late because of us.
All too soon, Maria and I parted. Hopefully, I'll be able to introduce her to RQS soon.
