My first time out///wow!
First off this outing was really, really difficult for me because, as you can tell by my picture, I am at all passable. But I was determined to do this.
The Night: I cannot do my own makeup so I went to an establishment that provides this service. It was great watching the transformation.
OK – transformation completed. Dressed in a skirt and heels I had to make it out to my car wearing the heels. I kept telling myself I can do this.
Great! I made it across the parking lot and into the car. Now I had to figure out where to go. I decided to head towards the mile shops on the strip of LV. OK……..will I be OK driving from here to there? Will I be harassed, while driving? Can I even drive in hi-heels? Well, I was not harassed by anyone and driving in heels….well I got it down. I Pulled into the parking lot where the valet met me – oh no – now what do I do? I got out of the car as gracefully as I could - the attendant asked me if I needed any specific directions, and I smiled and said no. He said enjoy your night.
I’m in the shops! I’m really in the shops!!! I just strolled around for a bit, but in heels, the walking really did begin to hurt my feet, so I needed to find a place to sit and just observe……or be observed. I knew there was a casino/bar, but I could not find it, so I asked one of the shop workers, she gave good directions to the casino. I arrived at the casino, and found the bar. I took a seat at the bar and ordered a drink – just a beer. I really know I should not be smoking, but believe me at this point I really, really needed a cigarette! My cigarettes and lighter were in my purse. So I got the pack of cigarettes out of my purse and by the time I found my lighter, the gentleman sitting next to me offered me a light. It was really relaxing to sit and enjoy a drink or two. Because of the skirt, I had to keep my legs crossed the entire time I was sitting there. Well, wouldn’t you know, the legs began to fall asleep, so I had to get (moving) going. Not sure how long I was there, long enough to have 2 or 3 cigarettes and a drink. (At the time it seemed I was there forever). Time to go…Put my cigarettes, lighter and car keys back into my purse, left the bar tender a tip and began the long walk thru the casino, the shops and back to the parking valet. On the drive back, I needed to stop at a little store to buy some bottled water. (I really did not need the water, but it was a good excuse to stop). Went in the store, selected my water of choice, proceeded to the checkout to pay, where the lady at the checkout counter greeted me – “yes ma’am how are you”. It was great being referred to as ma’am.
This little time out was great! I did not encounter even one negative reaction – other than myself – really, really nervous about the entire event. This outing did so much to increase my confidence. I enthusiastically look forward to going out again – sadly, it won’t be soon enough.
