Last year I had an adventure that I would like to share....
Took a half day off work, told the wife I had a meeting off site.
The day started out ok, went downtown in the morning for the remainder of the conference I was attending. Of coarse the speeches ran over and got out at least 30 minutes late. Then missed the trolley and had to wait longer. Traffic was heavy but got to the rest area 30 minutes later than I wanted to. Went into the family restroom and started changing. Had made a dry run the previous day and it seemed safe and lightly used. Started off all wrong, set my purse in the sink and it had one of those automatic faucets. Put quite a bit of water in the purse!!! Then after 5 minutes someone tried to get into the room! Got me a little flustered so I started to hurry. Clothes looked good but hurried on the makeup and it showed. Was not very happy with the way I looked but time was wasting and had to get going. After about 20 minutes, left the restroom and started out the door. An older guy was coming in so I stopped and let him pass. Stood at the door for a moment anticipating going out side with all the people around. Took off for the truck, slowly working on my fem walk. Made it to the truck, no one was looking or pointing at me!! Felt great. Then I went to stick on my fingernails and the first one, the thumb, split right down the center! Didn’t have any extra thumbs so bagged the nails!
Started the truck and looked in the mirror, not happy with the make up but too late to start over. Off I go. About a 20-minute drive to Oglebay park near Wheeling. Wandered around and took some photos. Spent about 30 minutes just walking. Enjoying myself. It was hot so couldn’t wait to get back into Air Conditioning… Then back in the truck and off to a nearby shopping center. They have a Value City discount store where I like to shop. Walked in, grabbed a cart and headed for the shoes. Tried on about 7 pair and found a nice pair of saddles on sale. Then over to the dresses… picked out a couple black ones (love black) and went into the dressing room to try them on. Not very many people in the store and no one was starring at me sooo… The dresses didn’t fit right so put them back and went to the check out. The girl was nice but I could tell that she knew. Didn’t say much to her because was afraid my voice would give me away for sure!!! Paid for the shoes and off we go again… Drove downtown Wheeling looking for this CD friendly bar that a friend told me about. Near where the Nailler’s hockey team plays. Lot of bars in Wheeling but I think i found the right one. Then stopped by the water (Ohio River) and strolled along the edge for a few minutes. Still very few people around. Forgot to take the camera!!
Back to the truck and headed east back towards PA. Was starting to get thirsty so drove by a McD’s and it was way to busy. Kept going to a Wendy’s, no one in the drive through. Pulled up and in my best fem voice “Could I have a medium diet coke, please” $1.16. Drove to the window and I could tell that he knew I wasn’t a real girl! Should have seen the look on his face!! As I pulled away I heard him say “Roy, Roy, look at that!!!”. I about cracked up! After that I decided it was time to head back to the rest area. Got changed without any problem and made it back home for dinner right on time. All in all it was a great time out and have done it again numerous times!!
