Yesterday my SO and I went shopping as we usually do when we first get our SSDI checks. First stop was Walmart because someone mentioned here somewhere that they had a "nu-bra" type of thing. We looked & looked, and found nothing. We did find some silicone gell push-up pads that only $16, so we got those and some pantyhose for her and some for me. We did some more shopping for jewelry, catfood, etc. and paid & left.
Then my SO wanted to go over to Cato to find an Easter outfit. Well she found two 3-piece skirt sets for $42 each, one in seafoam & one in pink.
When the SA asked if we needed something, I said yea I need a dress for a special event that I had to attend. Well she immediately walked away and started talking to the other SA in hushed tones. We were the only customers in the store at the time and I thought it was a bit rude.
Well I didn't look for any dresses there and as we were paying for my SO 2 outfits, I remarked that I would just wrap a sheet around my self and go in a toga. She smiled and seemed to relax a bit after that. She was young, maybe 19-20 years old and in our smallish town that may have been an unheard of thing... A man wanting a dress for himself.
Anyway... Back to Wally world and we found two nice dresses for $12 each and bought them both. I would have gladly spent more at Cato, but they didn't seem like they could handle it. Oh well, they lost a $90-$100 sale.
All-in-all it was an interesting and fun day shopping with my sweetie.
Just thought I share some of the fun I had. Thanks for reading.
