BND - I was doing a little retail therapy today, and one of the ladies [C] had just come back from a trip to Italy to stay with an old friend. Before she left, friend called up, and purred down the phone. 'Now dahling we DO NOT wear flat boots or shoes' C says 'but you live half way up a mountain'. They do, but they all totter around in the highest heels. Also, everyone gets their hair done every day. She said it was bliss, but you don't go out of the front door without looking your best. EVER. Hmmm

PS I lied, I was doing a LOT of retail therapy. If h returns I have a great wardrobe, and if he doesn't I still have a great wardrobe. A no brainer really. I have hidden shallows
I am the same way with heels. I am tempted to go all out and buy some but I too would have to practice when no one was home but sadly I have no place to wear them.
Ah Mermaid, there is a theory of clothes and shoes. If you buy them the occasions will come. And it is [largely] true. I have just bought a chiffon skirt and wrap arpound velvet jacket, and the occasion to wear them presented itself.
BND and Mermaid. Friend rang and invited me to the tate Gallery to see teh Hogarth exhibition, and then on to the theatre. A girl friend I should add. I am so boringly chaste at present. Still no excuse for not being well dressed.
The chiffon skirt is lovely, with a handkerchief hem, and the velvet jacket is silk velvet, which wraps around and ties at the side with a chiffon bow. Now what shoes . . . . .
Mermaid - yes it is a bit like field of dreams without the politics of baseball and Kansas
and my gift is to be able to walk in heels for a very long period of time
ask Brue, I wore the highest heels, and I was running in NYC and hailing cabs at the same time. (sigh) I am proud of myself,
we can walk together in them, nice and slow at first, then we add a little swing to the walk, then your assets and your swing will be working it together.
The difference between being prideful and having self respect, is a blurry shifting one. And the main thing for me now is making sure that d17 is getting the love and "correct" lessons from what I'm dealing with. If it ends up she thinks I'm being a doormat, that will just suck big time. It will defeat a huge part of the reason I am doing this at all. How can we really know? Once, d17 told the lady she babysat for, that she "admired" how I was working so hard to save the M, and those words were a Godsend. But who knows now? That was some time ago. I feel as if I am shouldering 90% of this M and cannot do it much longer. Yi yi yi! j-
