Had a first that I wanted to share with you all. I left the house dressed yesterday.
I am joining a local support group that meets every month. Last night was my second meeting. I went to the first meeting dressed in "Drab", just so I could get a feel of what I should expect and to ensure that I was at the right place. Last thing I would want to do is show up at Bingo night in the wrong place dressed up!
So after the first meeting I knew that this would work well. They are a very friendly and welcomed me. I felt very comfortable with the members and the location. So I made a point to make it to the second meeting and go dressed. This was a first for me and one that I am glad that I got to do. I have spent a lot of time and money on Amy. It really seemed like a shame that my bedroom mirror is the only one who ever saw me.
I started shaving down in the beginning of the week. I started with my legs on the first night, then chest and stomch the second, and pits last. I didn't shave my arms yet. For some reason that seems like a big step for me. I think that is the one area that most people will notice. By Saturday I had bought a new dress, and was ready to go.
I got my clothes on, did up my makeup, and added a couple accessories to complete the look. (I should have taken pictures, or better had someone take them of me!!!) I walked out the front door, and saw no one around. So I headed for the car door just in time for a political campaign person to chase me down to talk. Gahhhh!!! Of all the timing in the world. NOT NOW!! LOL I kindly answered a couple of his questions, and told him that I was late to a Halloween party (What a convenient cover story for me!). And then I was off, and had a great time at the meeting. I really enjoyed being among others that enjoy the same thing that I do. We all looked great. So i think I'll continue going and make some new friends.
Sorry for the long post! But I really wanted to share. It was very exciting for me.
