OMG everybody, I had the most fun doing what most people would call errands today. To jump right into it:
I've been really stressed out at work the past two weeks so I figured a good girly day out might help. My wife was gong to work at 1PM so I needed to kill some time.
Apart from body jewelry I really didn't have any feminine jewelry so I figured I could get some cheap stuff before I went out. As some of you know about me I'm way too scared to go out shopping in guy mode (even for jewelry) but I had been talking to a friend who said it was basically no big deal and gave me some pointers (thanks Krysta ^_^) on how to deal with the SA's. Short story kept short I came back with the following silver pieces for under $40:

After I gave my wife a kiss and told her to have a good day at work it was time to get ready. I decided to go with a black and deep purple eyeshadow combination. I was so proud of myself after I was done because not only did it not take a half hour to do my eyeliner I also didn't stab myself in the eye - HA!

(this is after I was sweating all day, looked better when I first did it lol)
I had already picked out an outfit that included a brand new top that I hadn't worn before:

Before I left I made a few goals for myself that I wanted to accomplish.
Step it up a bit and wear high heels (I've worn wedges out before but not real high heels).
Audibly interact with store SAs. (My past two times out I could not bring myself to do it)
Actually make a purchase at at least one store. (Again I hadn't gotten the courage to do this yet)
Eat at a restaurant while I was out. (^^same^^)
I feel that when I make personal goals like this it helps me overcome my fears. Sort of a way to "man up" and just get the job done lol.
Before I left I decided to knock out goal #1 and wear my 3.5" boots out. So I set off around 1PM, first stop was the bank to get some money for my purchase (whatever it was going to be). I was hoping there would be a walk up ATM so I could hop out of the Jeep and walk around but just a drive though.
While I was at the bank I decided my purchase should be something I really needed: a bra that fit, and a few pairs of panties. I decided to go to Sears first since I saw a bunch of cute panties at the other Sears store when I bought my new jewelry.
Unfortunately this other Sear's selection stunk so I went to Belk. My shopping at both stores were pretty uneventful even though it seemed like I was the only person in the store wearing noisy heels. While I was shopping in the intimates section I couldn't help but notice this 16-20 year male old kid sitting on a bench waiting for his mom to finish her bra shopping. He kept looking at me and everytime I looked him back in the eye he would quickly glance elsewhere. My paranoia almost kicked in but then I realized it almost seemed like he was checking me out....creepy....
Anyway I picked out three items, the SA was really nice but because that kid was still around I felt pretty nervous so I kept the conversation to a minimum while checking out. Even though it probably seemed like I was ignoring the SA she was very professional and nice. Goal #3 done, here's what I got:

(not really my style now that I look at it all but oh well, everything it really comfy :)
By this time it was around 5:30PM and I was getting hungry. I almost chickened out and went home but decided to do a drive through as a compromise. As I was driving to the Chik Fil A I got a bunch of courage out of no where and thought I would have some fun. I planned to order with my best feminine voice, then slip back into my male voice regardless of whether or not it was a male or female employee I was dealing with.
As planned I ordered in my femme voice. I turned the corner of the building and go figure, the person that waited on my was this very cute girl in her late teens/early twenties. I pulled up and the conversation went a little bit like this:
CFE: [with a cute smile on her face] "How are you doing ma'am?"
Me: "I'm good, how are you?"
CFE: [pauses, deer in the headlights look] "Good..." [Goes back to getting my food bagged] "...umm, would you like any sauce with that?"
Me: "Nah, I'm good."
CFE: [hands me the bag with a confused smile] "Have a nice day."
Me: "You too!"
I actually felt kinda bad messing with her like that afterwards, but I'm sure it wasn't a big deal and now she has a great story to tell :D Anyway I considered that enough to cross goals #2 and #4 off the list.
After I left the restaurant I went to a few other places (Target, gas station) just so I wouldn't have to go home. Eventually I decided it was time to get home (mostly because my feet were hurting so bad from walking around in heels all day lol).
As soon as I got home I snapped a few pics while I could still stand then tried on my new bra and thong:

Anyway to summarize this was the first day that I've felt %100 Kristin, and my stress from the past two weeks at work is temporarily gone ^_^
