not dead yet

-
do you ever make yourself laugh?

I am at this moment wearing a pair of underpants the size of Wales, a bra that Jordan wouldn't sneer at and a pair of cute black ankle sox with peacock feathers..are you getting the picture? Not great I know and l don't give a flying fig.

I have just left our local M&S and walked a short way down the road to home. And l just started to smile, then snigger and then l laughed out loud! 

Having just visited their 'further reduction sale' I now have a bag full of silky sexy bra's, petticoats, camisoles and french knickers. Leopard print, coffee coloured silk, black lace and red satin all in a smaller cup and chest  than l've worn in two years. 'Cos l'm worth it and...

I'm obviously not dead yet!

    YES! How wonderful. No better treat than some lovely undies on sale! Now go get a new lipstick too, preferably in a color you dont already own. xo

    isn't it a lovely feeling to wear sexy undies - I don't do it often enough - comfy just seems to take over!

    It's a strange thing Saz, to pull into a pair of new pretty underwear. I mean, after being married and crawling into gran skivies in the dark half asleep, (me, not necessarily you) to pull on pretty is awfully shocking. Shocking in an i love to be alive kind of way.

    No, you ain't dead yet, hallelujah!

    Yay, you're finding the fun things you stopped doing already :-) Welcome back to you, and all that!

    I do make myself laugh, actually. Often I'm laughing at something perfectly ridiculous that I've done. It's important to be a self-entertaining unit.

    You have a wonderful weekend and may it be filled with much laughter.

    I do love nice lingerie but I must confess, alone at home, I usually sleep in a sweat shirt and sweat pants! San Francisco temperatures are usually chilly at night and I'm more about comfort. Now, if I had a nice hunk to snuggle with, it might be more about sexy!

    Oh divine Saz!! Enjoy!
    When I had my 'lover' I learnt the joy of gorgeous lingerie ;) hubby has never been a visual creature....hmm actually sometimes I'm not sure he's male at all :-/
    After my affair ended it all go rammed to the back of the drawer with too many memories.....
    Its gradually making a reappearance..who for? ME!!!! :D xx

    Yes you are worth it, however I'd put a few more clothes on when you're out shopping at M&S than just your pants, bra and socks if I were you!!! ;)

    (When does the sale end, have I got time to have a quick look?!)

    -no l voculdnt possibly post a pic!

    - Taken them thar knickers out the back of the wardrobe, nay go buy more.

    - the sale is still on and l'm sure there will be more in your size Sub, difficult to find a sexy bra in 40c why is that!? wtf?

    - don't anyone confuse my new undies as a sign l have a man in tow...NOT!!!! Just my own sensory pleasures....if l can type that...ah just did.

    - Stephen, l concur, perhaps it is because it is a touch taboo? self indulgent or considered in appropriate...l think its very appropriate to our well being and self worth!! and if it pleases others, great! now a pic would be very displeasing l assure you...l prefer the mystery and imagination, at this point in proceedings!

    Fhina- did you get a ticket too!!!!!???say you managed to...

    Please don't tell Jo that there's a sale on... Merseyside to Cumbria is no distance in her eyes if there's an M & S sale at the end of it.

    Good for you!
    You are worth whatever it takes to make you happy.
    I love the feeling that you can laugh out loud without worrying what people think.
    I have got to that place too.

    Having a good laugh at ourselves is a great release! It's amazing how good we feel with new underwear and, in my case, lipsticks! Preferably worn at same time for good effect! (with clothes over, of course - (blushes!)

    Yes! Do this exercise at least twice a year!! I just bought new undies last week myself, just before my ex pulled into town from Beijing, where he has been living for the last 6 months. No, he won't be seeing them, but at least I know I've still got it... which is all I need to know! Same for you! Enjoy!

    Love Toni's comment. Goddess wear would be a great name.
    I just indulged in my first piece of leather... it was amazing, the internal transformation!
    I'm all for self-indulgences, they make us feel good.

Loneliness...

Image
is next to god awfulness. l enjoyed my London trip on so many levels. Though particularly because I had time to suit myself, time away from pressure of work, time away from the kids, all types of timetables. Time away from decision making, which I abhor with a passion! Sometimes, though thankfully not often when l am alone. Sitting in a coffee shop. Or in line in the bank or supermarket. Waiting in the car in line for the car park. Usually alone waiting. I get the heebee jeebee's. In plain speak a panic or anxiety attack. It comes in the form of a butterfly fluttering in my chest, a screaming in my head. Silent screaming. But I feel the noise. White noise. That drives darkness through the day like a knife through butter. It lasts but a few moments, but a dry fear stays a while. Remaining hidden amongst the layers of feelings and experiences we call life. Whilst walking alone through the streets of London, it lurked. Unacknowledged. Invisible. Whilst feeling the beat of the city...

On my way to work - Monochrome Monday

Monochrome Monday hosted by Aileni As it is very frosty and cold I am driving to work, shameful, yes, as its only 1.75 miles uphill down hill in nose to tail traffic. I park in the nearest car park, courtesy of the City Council, a perk of the job. Thank you very much. And this is what l see on my short walk from car park to work! silhouette of castle gate looking back over my shoulder where l have walked from the very ineffectual Millennium Bridge this is the entrance to the underpass, which takes us under the dual carriageway that separates the Castle from the city, the Museum and Cathedral this is the underpass decorated with old local industrial machinery and the Cursing Stone produced for the Millennium and inscribed with a centuries old curse it receives the wrath of locals as it is considered the cause of all our recent ills, Foot & mouth and the Floods the marble floor containing prominent local and Reiver's name the Whispering Wall, solid glass brick, come alive with...
