It's Tough Being A LAdy

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
