I'm Back! And Did I Have Some Fun!

[Guest Ashlee]

Hey girls!

I know, I havn't been around here very much lately. I've poked my head in a few times just to see what's going on and see that there are sooooo many new members here! How awesome is that!

I have been having an incredibly busy summer. Working 55 to 70 hours a week all summer has been pretty brutal. So, thats why I haven't been around

Anywho, life is good and I have had a few moments to be able to dress and let myself go.

But, last week was just oooooooh soooo good!

I basically told my boss I would not be in one morning, that I would get to work around 2. He was fine with that so after the rest of my family left for the day, I got all cleaned up, put on some panties/hose, some dress slacks, a pink and white sweater, gold earings and black flats and took off to a very large city thats pretty close by.

I spent all morning and into the afternoon SHOPPING!

HERE IS THE BEST PART THOUGH:

(I have to mention here that when I go out shopping, I still have a small beard and moustashe. I shave the rest of my face and usually wear lip gloss and maybe a bit of foundation to even out my face. I wish I could shave it off, but my wife really likes me to have it.)

Next to the mall that I was shopping at, I saw a cute little bridal salon that opened at 10. I was waiting in my car when they opened their doors. I went inside and the lady asked if she could help me. I told her I was looking for a dress for a new years party. She assumed right from the start that I was buying it for ME! She told me her name and asked for mine. She called me Ashlee the whole time I was there. She helped me look through the dresses and asked me if I wanted to try them on. OF COURSE I DID She even helped me zip them up and stood next to me as I looked myself over in front of the BIG mirror! I have never felt so feminine.

I think what made it go so well is that I never tried to hide anything. She told me that there have been other men that come there for dresses and they don't handle us any different than anyone else. That really helped me feel comfortable too.

I know I will be stopping at another bridal salon someday. I hope the people there are just as nice as this wonderful lady. If I get the chance soon, I may go back to this same salon, she was expecting a shippment of prom gowns soon!

Oh DeeJay, It was sooo much fun. And I was able to "get away" at such a good time. I've been so incredibly busy at work and just needed this as a stress reliever. And it sure did!

Glad I could make you smile

I really think there are more shopkeepers out there like this than we all think. Just go on out there and try, the worst they can do is say no. Big Deal - just move on to the next shop I say!

I sure hope I get another chance SOON!!

Prom gowns? *faints*

Oh, Andrea,

I thought the same way at one time. Until I just got in the car and went. It is such an incredible feeling!
