What Olivia did today.

Olivia pumped gas at Costco. She then went to the store and purchased a bag of peppermints, with at least a 150 yard walk through the parking lot. And then one of my GG's snapped a selfie together. It was extremely exhilarating experience. I would like to post the pic of the outfit but the lipstick is gone, the bracelets are off, the visor is crooked, and the hair messy. Trying to get the selfie. It has been a stressful and tiring month and a half. Hope this is the beginning of less work and more time for Olivia and my friends here. Talk later!

Hugs to all!!

Glad it went well for you.

I second Kimberly's comment.

Now about that selfie (or ussie); I know we girls all try for that perfect picture. Ya know? We should think about that real one -- the one that shows what it means to have been out in public -- that picture that looks like any other woman who had been out.

All women (including us) have to contend with wind, rain sometimes, no time to fix our lipstick, having anything we are wearing get crooked, bad hair days, bad makeup days and so on. We make an effort to reassemble and clean up when we get our chances, but some days we just can't keep up. I try to get my picture before I get out the door, but some days it doesn't happen. If I'm not exhausted and so ready to peel off my hair and bra, i will take that not quite perfect picture. If you ever look close at my face, those "after the day out" pictures have no lipstick and might even be without earrings.

Again, glad you had a good time and thank your buddy for going out with you. Playmates are so wonderful.

Thanks Kim. I had a great time. Thank you also Davita. I felt when posting that someone would address the sentiments you did. You always make sense and I hear what you are saying. I will see if I can figure out how to get the pics from the phone to the site. Thank you for the great advice as always.

Congratulations on your time out Olivia. It sounds as if you had a wonderful and rewarding time.

That's awesome Olivia, and I now you had a great time with your GG. Also, I think getting the perfect picture is important. We (I) go to great lengths to get pretty and and there are quite a few pics floating around that look like I just got caught by the paparazzi for Star Magazine. They're icky, lol.

[OliviaM]

Thanks Requal. It was really great but with the movie last week haven't had a chance to dress since. And thank you Robyn it is nice to see you here again and the time with GG was so cool. She sent me the selfie, but do not know how to get it from the text. Now you have given me a dilemma. Two people whose opinions I really respect have given me differing ones. I will keep you both posted. Also Made a bet for lunch with my GG and lost. So Olivia must take her to lunch. That will be fun.
