Run, Run, Run While you Can!!!

January 10th, 2008 7:04 am MST

January 5th, 2008 I finally made it out to my first Tri-Ess meeting ever. I had no idea what to expect really other than I knew I would be meeting alot of new people with a common 'feature'. After spending hours getting ready beforehand, and ready to head off to the meeting with my gg, I looked down and noticed a run in my stocking! Fabulous!!!, I thought. Off with the shoe, off with the ankle bracelet, off with the stocking, rummage through the hosery drawer only to find I didn't have another stocking the same style and color. Meanwhile, the perspiration from it all, nerves included, is starting to build so on goes the ceiling fan until I can sort out this mess. Of course my gg has been patiently ready to leave and at the point, is believing I will never return from the bedroom to attend the event. Time is passsing and now we will be late of course; all this playing head games with me trying to hurry and go. So off comes the other shoe and stocking, on goes a new pair of FF stockings, ankle braclet with that damn teeny weenie clip, heels, fix my hair, and out the door we go, finally!

On with the air conditioning so I can relax a tad during the drive which only took like 10 minutes to arrive at the meeting location. Now, having never been to these meetings before, we had no idea how to actually get into the meeting, but the lovely security guard standing near the building was gracious enough to direct me in the right direction( of course he knew silly). So we went to one of the two doors to the meeting, of course it was locked, but we could see everyone, so rather than try the other door like normal intelligent people, I decided we would go around to the patio door and enter from there. So here we are standing on one side of the patio door, watching everyone eating(remember now, we are late), I try the patio door but it's jammed shut, well I'm not going to break a nail forcing the door open, so we stand there like two bumps on a log until someone from inside eventually opens the door. lol I tell you, the sweat from nerves was flowing like the Niagara Falls by now! Finally we're in! My first impression was, "ok, where's the welcoming party"? My next thought was, " holy shit, is it ever quiet in here!" Of course everyone was eating and no one paid attention to two more people in the room other than I suppose they thought to themselves, " don't recognize them!". Finally someone I did recognize from their websites' photos greeted us graciously and gave us a quick intro. which made we feel we were in the correct location for the evening. We settled in nicely, meet some super nice people, dinner finished shortly afterwards, I crossed my legs to relax and wait for the guest speaker to begin, and my sapphire bracelet caught on the same damn stocking I destroyed just minutes before!. Can you believe it? Two pair of FF RHT stockings shot in one night! lol, ain't life a bitch! I'm now thinking to myself, I better buy these babies in bulk if I plan on wearing jewelry around them 'cause there is no way I'll make it through a complete evening without destroying a couple of pairs of these.

The bottom line though is we had a terrific evening, one we will truly remember. Yes, the nerves disappeared after 5 minutes of attendance, well, until I destroyed my hose anyway! Tri_ess are wonderful people and anyone wanting to go out for an evening should look up their local Tri-Ess chapter and attend a meeting. You'll love it girl!

Hugs, Jill

Interesting "Stuff"

December 7th, 2007 9:42 pm MST

For the past 3 days, I've been dressed 24/7, which has allowed me to feel so wonderful from head to toes. Whether at the community pool, shopping, or in the kitchen, I've been able to allow myself the freedom from want. This time has also allowed me to contemplate( oh oh) about 'stuff'. Stuff like, why do shoes fit perfect at home, and hurt like hell while shopping in department stores?, Why don't hot dog companies buy the bread companies that make hotdog buns so they can get the numbers the same?, What makes teflon stick?, Why does fingernail glue seal the cap on the bottle solid, but can't hold a fingernail on?, Why do we have to use the girlys room after just spending two hours getting dressed, only to have to rip off half the clothes to go, and then start all over? Why am I not allowed to say, 'HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS", WHENEVER, TO WHOMEVER, WHEREVER, I DAMN WELL PLEASE?

So, to everyone that hasn't been brainwashed with this so-called politically correctness bullshit we seem to endure every single day in our lives out there,

MERRY, MERRY, MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hugs, Jill

It's Tough Being A LAdy

December 6th, 2007 7:30 am MST

Well my GG and I have been in Florida now for a week. Of course I've gone com,pletely bezerk buying shoes, lingerie, etc, well, truth be told, Canada surcharges imported shoes which pretty well covers every pair of shoes in the country, so what costs $ 15.00 in the US, costs $49.00 in Canada, so what's a girl to do but go bananas when she gets here. The first day shopping I found a shoe store here in Kissimmee with the sexiest high heels on earth. I thought I died and went to heaven and oh what a beautiful place it is! I think when I do die, I want to come back as a shoe rack on the wall side of the store so I can admire all the shoes in the store 24/7. Ok, I'm losing it here, but the shoes were mostly like, $ 10.00 a pair? How insane is that? So of course, I bought a bunch, wouldn't you? Also went to Bealls department stores, I now think my favorite store on earth. Got a beautiful white bustiet for like $ 5.00 on clearance. Someone better get a grip on me here 'cause I can't hold myself back and I know I already have a house full of clothes I don't get to wear enough as it is.For other girls in the same position as me, here's a little tip. When joining URNA as a Gold Plus member, remember it is not a lifetime membership(Jon/Dan, are you listening?). For the past couple of days I have been trying to log in here and for some odd reason, my log-in doesn't work. Now I am usually blonde and really don't like to think that has anything remotely to do with it, however, after pulling out my hair for days and ready to start pulling teeth, I discovered my paid membership ran out and I've been degraded to a simple common Silver member. Call me blonde as it only took about 4 days to figure out this one! Maybe I should have read the emails from the URNA admin? Maybe I should have read the instructions on the back of the lottery tick that require a microscope to read, maybe I should have read the instructions for assembling that new bar-b-que so the lid opens from the front?, maybe I should have read the terms of the insurance policy I just renewed? maybe, just maybe, the man in me says not to read all that stuff and the woman in me says,"dah, stupid!" Anyway, I was able to figure it out, so hopefully I'll let the woman in me fix this mess so I don't look so, well, manly stupid, right?Was invited by a local Tri-Ess member to a night downtown Orlando this Friday night but had to pass on the offer. As I haven't met any of these ladies yet, I would feel just a bit nervous walking into a bar not knowing anyone, the place, where to park, will I get raped or beat up on the way in, or even who to look for when I do get in, so I passed on the offer and will regret it for months to come, but I decided to wait until the next months' meeting of the Tri-Ess group here to introduce myself to them all and then maybe, head out into the real world of nightclubs, etc. I do go shopping, etc. during the day alone, but that's different, it's daytime and safer overall. I also had to consider my GG's feelings, which although she said to go and have fun, I don't want her to get the wrong impression of me in that, I don't want her to think or feel the only reason, or the primary reason for our coming here for three months, is to spend my time with other girls, so I thought it best to pass on the offer and wait for things to fall into place slowly. I will miss the tomorrow night though, but sometiimes the hardest things to do are the right things to do. It's tough being a lady!Hugs, Jill

Let The Migration Begin

November 11th, 2007 6:56 am MST

For many Canadians and Americans alike, this time of year is one in which our genetic instincts begin to remind us of the great migration we will take in the coming weeks. Like Canada geese, or the Wildabeasts on the plains of the Serengeti in Africa, we too must make ready ourselves for the adventure ahead that will take us to our wintering grounds where we will be warm, have plenty of food and drink, and roam aimlessly for months until the genetic instinct to return to the northern feeding grounds has us return, only if for a short period before another migration to the south.

For me, that instinct has begun. In 2 weeks, my gg and I will be moving to Florida for 3 months, where we will spend most of our time relaxing, exercising, feeding, and well, SHOPPING of course( did you really think I would forget that one?)lol . The preparations have already begun; and this is always the part I hate the most. Of course, I want to take everything I own, thinking if I do, I won't need to buy anymore clothes/shoes. Well of course, we all know the likelihood of that happening is about as realistic as my breasts growing to double d's overnight! So my GG always steps in with those hugh eyes, gives me THAT stare, and I silently begin to return things to the closet immediately knowing full well I'll never get away with that plan. Sometimes I think it would be easier just to take everything because I just can't decide what I really want to take the most. So I come to my senses, and plan out complete outfits fom head to toe and that way, I manage to reduce the size of the wardrobe, which really, should have been my plan from the get go, because I'M GOING SHOPPING, right girls? lol

This year will be our first time out with other girls and their s/o's in Florida. The Tri-Ess chapter where we will be staying have graciously invited us to attend their meetings starting in December this year, so we are looking forward to that. I expect it will be a great time out, and meeting new people will help us both in our development of our relationship with others and each other as well. I'm sure the girls there will have lots of tips for us on where to spend some time dining, shopping, and places to go out for the day just to relax.

I dread the thought of packing, loading, unloading, packing, loading.... as we migrate south but fortunately, it's only a 2-3 day drive as I like to get off the road around 4pm so we can relax for the night. We are usually back on the road around 5 am ( earlybirds, I know) and I love watching the sunrise on my left shoulder. There's something about sunrises and sunsets that just change the entire mood for those few short moments isn't there? The place we usually stay at while in Costa Rica looks out over the Pacific from high above,and the sunsets are nothiing short of miraculous. A silence appears during the last few moments the sun touches and falls below the horizon, like a huge living ball slowing sinking into ocean. Whew!!!! always lose my thoughts when it comes to sunsets, anyway, better get back to packing.

" What's that honey? You say I cannot take three pairs of breastforms with us? But I need them, don't I?" lol

A Time To Remember

October 27th, 2007 6:10 am MDT

With Rememberance Day rapidly approaching, one may well want to take the time to read the names listed on the website below, to remind ones self how cruel and cold our little world really is, and to remember those same people that were not as fortunate as us to be here today, only due to hatred in our society. War is disgusting enough, must our society continue to allow hatred also?

Memory Lane

October 21st, 2007 12:15 pm MDT

Up early this morning, so I decided to take a walk back on memory lane, reviewing my pics in my Yahoo group. I couldn't believe some of the ridiculous pics I've taken. Had me laughing with embarrassment and wondering whatever made me wear "that". And the shoes, omg, the shoes I've since sent to the used clothing stores. At least now all my shoes actually fit! Somehow it seems fitting I saved these terrible pics, and really, wished I had of taken pics since I was 10 years old. What a wonderful, if not scary, album it could have been, watching the transformation of myself through the years. I do still have all those memories still so I guess that's the best I can ask for. I sometimes chuckle to myself when I remember some piece of clothing or footwear I once owned and completely forgot about, having long purged it. One can only imagine the money spent over the years on items long since purged, that didn't fit but couldn't resist buying just because it looked so sexy on the rack only to wear for a moment and purge away.lol Thankfully the days of purging are past, although my gg might say something different about it as she thinks I have too many clothes and shoes now. lol Well, I do, but they are staying for good. Sometimes a girl has to put her foot down and stand strong, right?

Well, I decided to get all gussied up today since the sun is shining and the temperature is just right for hose and heels outdoors. What else do I have to do with 2 hours of spare time but riff through the closet trying on different outfits until I find the 'perfect' fit for the day, emerging 3 hours later complete for the day(lol). Somehow it just seems too difficult to explain in words, the inner feeling of completeness and normalicy one gets from being enfemme. You just have to do it and experience it for yourself as that feeling is as individual and unique as a snowflake. How wonderful life is, and a trip down memory lane makes it that much more precious, horrible pics and all. Maybe I'll go shopping today, I do need some white eyeshadow anyway.

Bras, Breastforms, and Bewilderment

October 17th, 2007 5:23 am MDT

Girls, I need your opinions. As you all know, there are many different styles of bras out there on the market, and as you also know, there are many different sizes of "c", "d", etc., I know, I know, but I didn't make the rules of size. Maybe we should have a bra cop, who goes around and tests the cup sizes to ensure a "d" is really a "d". If it fails the test, the manufacturer gets a stiff fine( no pun intended) and educated on what a "d" cup should be. Of course, then we would need another bra cop to ensure one side of the bra would be a larger "d" than the other, and we would need another bra cop to ensure one cup was a little lower than the other, to compensate for body design errors right? Isn't attempting to be perfect fun? Ok, so we'll just have to live with having to make concessions for birth defects in our bodies and do the best we can right?

Now, here's where I want your opinions. File down those nails, and type a response for a poor girl in need, because I cannot see myself having to spend thousands of dollars to find out the hard way.

First off, I currently have triangle shaped breastforms. I love them for the most part, but there are occasions where I think, the teardrop style would fit better or look better depending what I'm wearing. Also, I would like to attach them to me, so I do not get the 'falling away' effect each time I bend over( stop thinking dirty here), i.e., to pick something up or put on my heels. I also think having them attached would keep the bra from riding up on my chest during the day. Needless to say, attached would be perfect in a bathing suit.

So, what is your experience with different forms? Which ones do you like the best and why? Have you experienced attaching them, and what did you use to attach them? Which style do you feel fit and look the best, triangle, teardrop(oval), or other styles?

I have queried the manufacturers of course, but they pass the final opinion right back to the buyer as personal preference, so that's what I need from you. I intend to buy more forms, but would appreciate your opinions to possibly avoid dissappointment later.

Thank to all you reply.

Hugs, Jill

One More Step

October 13th, 2007 5:35 am MDT

Yesterday I decided to drop off a parcel for a client( small town living) . I wanted out of the office for awhile and decided that would be a reason to get out. Anyway, it just so happens the client is a hair dresser. No I didn't get my hair done( wouldn't that be a hoot) but I did get my ears pierced. Whaooo!!!! lol This has been on my mind for some time. My gg and I discussed it beforehand awhile back and she thought it would be fine. So I suspect, somewhere in the back of my girlie mind, I thought the trip to the hairdressers would be a great opportunity to look into ear piercing. Not sure on this one, but something tells me...I really didn't know where you go to get ears pierced. I do recall seeing free piercings at jewellry stores from time to time, but other than a tattoo shop, I reallly had no idea. So now I know, beauty salons. So now I wait six weeks and I can dump my clip-ons, well, most of them anyway. I really am looking forward to wearing big hoops; I just adore the sexy look they emit. And no more sinus headaches from clip-ons which will be a relief. Come on six weeks, hurry up!!! I'll probably go nuts waiting this one out! So look out world, Jill is going to be flashing earrings like there's no tomorrow!!!!!! God, I better get shopping!!!

Hugs, Jill

RE: Liberals Unite!

August 25th, 2007 3:32 pm MDT

Rarely ever anymore, do I get political. I was directly involved in politics years ago, and have no intention to return. I do however, feel the need to respond to Caseys' post, even if it does not belong on this site. It's important we refrain from discussing politics and religion here as it is a no win situation ultimately for all involved. This is why we have debate clubs. Having said that, Casey, you need to step back a bit and read what you write. Contrary to your statements, you are prejudice, like it or not. And that doesn't bode well here. You might have noticed we have spent our entire lives trying to undo the prejudices we endure daily. No one here wants to read slurs that you feel need to be made. The issue of illegals does not need to made into one of racism. If the White House/State legislators spent half the amount they spend annually on fighting illegals, on subsidizing farm labor wages for US citizens, there would be no need for outsourced employees. Americans would gladly do the work and it would save the govenments millions, and the wages would remain in the US( think Walmart). Certainly, some people from afar would still look to the US for a 'better life' for their loved ones, but not because they can work at jobs US citizens won't do. And these people could be easily controlled. But alas, politics won't allow for this, so take your gripe to the State and federal legislators along with your prejudices. You can bet there are plenty of politicians who agree with your views( although not publically) and as long as politicians can milk this issue, a re-election is guaranteed. As a note, I would be interested in knowing just how many of those green and white 'border patrol' GMC Yukons are out there. I am sure I've seen at least 4,000 in the past 3 years just in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona alone. Casey, if you really want to solve the issue, do your homework, forget about racism, go to Washington with facts, and convince them you have the solution and can prove it. Just remember, this is not the place for politics. Good luck on your mission. Jill lacey Outside looking in

The Big Meeting

July 12th, 2007 5:07 am MDT

Well, big for me anyway. Yesterday my gg and I met with the ladies at the salon/spa to see about hair removal. They were all very friendly and polite. Got a few looks from clients waiting for treatments but otherwise, nothing newsworthy. As it turns out, my gg will have electrolysis on her upper lip and chin, and I, (the little peach), will have laser on , well, we'll start with the chest/abdomen and go from there to the face, neck and hands and shoulders. I was prepared for a hefty fee as having previously read on the subject, but just about dropped right there on the floor when she gave me a price on my work. I must be in the wrong business! No matter, August 15th we start with the long process and look forward to it really. In the mean time, I think I'll call a couple of buddies in the toxic chemical industry to see if they can mix up a potion to save me a lifes savings. lol

Hugs, Jill

The Excitement Builds

July 10th, 2007 6:56 pm MDT

Today I spoke on the phone to an Electrolysis whom I had planned to meet with tomorrow to set up a start date for hair removal. Well by the time our discussion was finished, we decided it was better to go see a laser specialist rather than her. So I called a recommended laser specialist and I meet with her tomorrow evening at 6:30pm. She was wonderful to chat it up with and is very gender friendly. I simpy told her I was a cd and she was fine with that and said she treated a number of cd's before. I think we will hit it off tremendously. Now all I have to do is figure out what to wear to the meeting. Lets see, black, no red, no white skirt(it's summer afterall). Right, white skirt. Now let's see, black, no red, no white pumps........

I'm so excited! Hugs, Jill

What Does It All Mean?

July 6th, 2007 5:18 am MDT

Yesterday I took another step towards my continuing evolution and made a call to an Electrolysist. She asked what I wanted done, my back? Nooooo, not yet anyway but I would like my face, neck, chest and hands considered at this time. OHHHHHHH she said, lol. I had not advised her I was a cd prior to her question. So next Wednesday we get together to discuss my situation. Where it will lead to, I don't know, but I do know I'm sick and tired of searching and shaving every hair in the wrong places. She asked if I had read anything about electrolysis? 'Oh yes, I even considered buying a machine to do it myself", I advised her. " WHAT? Are you crazy?!!!" she asked. "You need to have it done by a certified professional", she said. " You understand, this is a long process" and I replied, "yes, I understand". I guess I am just tired of having to take 4 hours to get all dolled up, as well as ridding myself of that picky feeling a couple of days after. Since coming out to my gg, I no longer have to hide my femme side and ridding myself of unwanted hair just makes my life that much easier on a day to day basis, not to mention allowing my satin and silk pj's ,and clothing feel that much better. Suddenly I am questioning myself as to what it all means. How far will I go over time? Am I doing the right thing? Why am I doing it? Will it eventually lead to SRS? Am I to become a full time lesbian? Geezzz, I think I had less questions when I was a drug abusing hippie in the sixties( yes, I was in the mudhole at Woodstock, just so you know). lol The way I see it, whatever happens, happens. I know not where I go, and I know not why. I'm just here for the ride. "Pura Vida"

Finally, Some New Pics

June 11th, 2007 8:29 pm MDT

Well finally!!! Some new 'do' pics. The pics I just put in my new alum come from two sources. The first seven pics I took this morning before work. They are easy to distinguish as I had on my 4 1/2" strappy pumps. The next eight pics were taken by my GG( in her pj's if you can imagine!). The top I am wearing is a halter top with a bias cut and the skirt is also a bias cut. Both have a cute ring that says it all!. Both pieces stretch( ah hem!) and the skirt rides on the hips. In the second group I have on my 4" strappy sandals in gold( my favorite color). Now you may notice the makeup in the second det if far better, well, I had more time. Now, don't cruxify me for these pics as I did not have time to paint my toes, find my ankle braclet, put on my nails and rings. I only had about 12 hours to get ready for gods sake!!!!! How do you expect a girl to do all that in that short of a time! lol, So tomorrow, I hope to show new pics of me in another new do( I bought 4, 1 freebee) for a total of 5. Any comments are welcome, but be honest, no matter what you think. I am searching for the best look here, ok?

Hugs, Jill

Oh yeah, my GG will NOT let me wear the skirt in public, she says, so we are going to had a bout tonight over it. This is my favorite black outfit and I fully intend to wear it out shopping!!! lol

Hair Do Dilemma Done!

May 24th, 2007 7:16 pm MDT

Well I finally settled my dilemma regarding a new do for the upcoming summer months, and, just like a woman, did it in style the way any woman would do it. I bought all of them! lol yep, all of 'em. I'll probably be sleeping in the dog house for a while when they arrive and my GG sees what I have done, but hey, what's done is done right? And who could possibly get upset with a nice girl like me anyway, lol. So now all I have to do is wait until the right moment, and say," but honey, I just couldn't make up my mind! You understand that don't you? Let's go shopping and get you something nice, ok? Then we can come home and I'll model the new do's for you, ok" lol

Now my dearest friend on the west coast, Casandra Ann thinks I should have used the " ene, mene, mine, mo" principle to select a do for myself, but you know, sometimes you just have to go by instinct, and my instinct said, "why choose?, take 'em all!" lol

Before I forget, thanks to the sales person that took my call at International Wig. I told them I was Tg up front, and she was nothing but curtious the entire time. We had some great laughs and got the job done right with her help. So now the wait is on, until then, I'll just have to , make do.

Hugs, Jill

The Scent of a Woman

May 20th, 2007 6:35 am MDT

Have you ever noticed while out shopping or somewhere, when a woman happens by close to you, wearing a particular scent, even though you may not agree with the scent or strength of the scent, it gives you a feeling of femininity inside? I do, and it feels wonderful! Often ones scent catches my senses and arouses my interest in wondering about this person. Who is this special person that takes time to make themselves unique by wearing perfume? Do they like soft, sensuous materials? Do they enjoy life as much as I do? Are they compassionate and caring people? Are they intimately involved or on the prowl? How wonderful it must be to be so happy and content in life. So often, and really, most often, women carry no scent at all. Seems like life is in such a hectic state for these people they don't take time to adorn themselves for self pleasure and self expression. Sad but true. Is life passing by so fast for us trying to make others happy, we have no time to make ourselves happy?

When I dress en femme, I can hardly wait for the 'finished look' to happen so I can add the last and final touch to myself to 'complete' the job that just took 2 hours to achieve. On goes the Chanel No. 5, lightly and targeted to the proper areas of the body. To me, perfume is the icing on the cake that makes the transformation totally complete and real. Perfume to me says, "Yes, I'm a lady and don't you know" out loud for all to hear. A reminder that femininity is not dead and there are still 'ladies' here in todays society that still want to look like and be treated as a lady. Sensuality is still alive and can still be displayed in public in a classy form, perfume. A lady to me is still special, and there is no better way to express yourself as a lady than to spoil yourself wearing perfume.

Long live the Rose pedals.

Hair Do Dilemma

May 2nd, 2007 7:09 pm MDT

Let me tell you something, especially you girls south of the ' great white north'. Having a supercentre south of the border does not make shopping easy for us northern girls. Here's why. First off, there are waaaaaaaaaay too many web sites selling hair do's of every shape and size in any color under the sun, which just might add a new color to some of them. So here's how it goes:

A girl decides to get a new do. She clicks onto the most popular sites and is overwhelmed by all the choices, but she is on a mission. She decides after a couple of thousand hours of searching( yes she loves to shop) that she is getting nowhere with this so she finally breaks down and decides to pick 10 favorites. Just 10 to be narrowed down to 3. Then she compares prices and comes to find, some sites have lower prices on some do's, but higher on others. These companies have some weird ideas as to consistency. Shouldn't they be either higher on all the do's or lower on all the do's? Noooooooo, that would be too damn easy. Then there's the shipping thingy. Well, if you live south of the snow belt, this isn't an issue 'cause you get it shipped free( yeah right), but us igloo lovers have to pay shipping. Then there's the watchdogs at the Feds that need to grab their share in duties and excise taxes( never mentioned by the retailers). So now, instead of just doing a little shopping, this has become an exercise in financial planning!!!!! Did I mention the exchange rate on the dollar? Yep, gotta figure that one in too. So, I write down my 10 favorites, cross some out, add more, cross out more, add back some I crossed out, this shit goes on for days!!!!! I'm exhausted! So I figure, hey, how about I ask my gf if she would pick out 3 she thinks I would like. Oh great, she doesn't even hit one of my 10, so now I have 13! That won't work, so I cross out some more, find one I crossed out in a different color on another site, add it back to the list, find one in the same color that looks a different color on another site that I crossed out and add it back in wondering which color of the same color is really the right color, and on and on and on and on and on. I scrap the whole list to the trashcan, take a couple of days away from the search, and right back at it, just like before. Add, delete, add, delete, change the color, change the retailer, check out the shipping costs. FINALLY, I find a site where all the prices are lower than the others. Guess what! They don't ship outside the US!!!! Awwwwwww!!!!!!!! I freak out!!!!! I grab a banana, then a muffin, then a hip of beef, what am I doing? What am I eating for? I'm supposed to be shopping. I love shopping, don't I? Geezzz!!! Well, you say, why don't you just buy it in the 'land of the free'( free what exactly)? Well that would be too easy now wouldn't it. Dah, I might be blonde(some days), but I was born 'at night', not 'last night'. You see, the prices here for a cheap do, is about the same as a'mono' do in the US, so I really don't think I want to spend anymore here on do's than I already have. Then I figure, well maybe I should try using another search engine to see if that reveals anything. Oh yeah, it reveals alot alright. More sites with more of the same confusion. But hey, I love shopping right?, so I spend another couple million hours doing the same thing as before. Did I check out what buyers had to say about the sites you might ask? Yep, did that for all it's worth. One person loves them, another thinks they're Satan in the flesh.

I have to make a decision, summers coming fast and I need a new do or two. So I have decided to just buy the damn things at the first site I find that has all the ones I want now( 3 max ), and the ones I want later too. To hell with the price and I'll take my chances on the color shown is the color I'll get, or damn close. I don't care anymore, I just want this shopping experience over with. It sort of feels like looking for your car in the parking lot, you know, the sexy red car in a parking lot of just 10,000 sexy red cars. Now if I can remember which site ships to snowmanland. Better check to see if they have dog sled teams for deliveries, might just be winter before I get this shopping trip over with. Better check to see if they deliver at night. The woods are so thick up here, they gotta pump daylight in through pipes! Why can't they just open a store up here, just down the road from me. I'll make them wealthy beyond their wildest dreams. I wonder................

The Rabbit and The Blonde

April 15th, 2007 5:16 pm MDT

Ok, now I know many of you probably heard this before, but when I heard it for the first time last week, I thought it was sooooo cute, I just had to post it. So here it is, my version from memory.

A man is driving down the road when a rabbit jumps out in front of his vehicle. The man, a true animal lover, tries desparately to avoid hitting the rabbit, but to no avail he hits the rabbit and kills it. The man gets out and while standing over the dead rabbit weeping, a blonde drives up and asks what's the matter. The man tells her he loves animals and killed this rabbit, and he feels so terrible. The blonde say," Just a minute", runs back to her car and returns with a spraycan. She quickly sprays the rabbit. The rabbit jumps up, runs 10 feet, turns and waves, runs another 10 feet, turns and waves, runs another 10 feet, turns and waves and continues this until it reaches the forest. Astonished, the man asks," What is in that can that brought that rabbit to life?"

Are you ready for this?

Sit down before you read the answer.

You're not going to believe this!

The blonde shows the can to the man. The label on the can reads,

" HAIR SPRAY"

" RESTORES DEAD HAIR TO LIFE AND GIVES PERMANENT WAVE"

Hope I made you smile, Huggs, Jill

Finally!

Well, I guess I had better post something in my journal or some of my friends will think I fell off the planet! Which, in all fairness up until tonight, I might have considered as an option. lol So I would like to inform you ladies, I am back!!! Yep, and if feels great too! Did the full body razor cleanup thingy today, rummaged through the closets of eternal apparel and footwear, pulled out a new skirt I bought on the way back from holidays in February, slid into some spice stockings( oh, what a feeling), buttoned up a matching pink ruffled blouse, did the makeup( which seems to take forever) a touch of Chanel no.5, 5" black patent pumps, accessories and voila! "I'm ready dear!" My GG looked at me and said, " I wondered how long it would take you to finally come around". She complimented me on how nice I looked, and returned to her tv show. Perfect, I thought, no complaints and no queries, just herself which works for me. Si I decided a girl just can't sit and watch the tube looking like a million bucks, so I decided to go for a short walk( remember, I haven't been in heels for 3.5 weeks) which was just a confidence builder and spent the time walking getting my movements to look and feel normal( funny how we can forget this). And then it was onto URNA to catch up on missed time. So here I am, finally back and lovin' it! I can hardly wait to try on all the clothes I bought during our vacation and never got to wear. If only I had bought those black boots at payless in Naples, Florida, hmmmm........lol
