The Invisible Woman Chronicles

I've been actually taking a break on my evening walks at Monterrey Market.  I have set my goal to walk there every night if I can, weather permitting and walk back.  It's about .9 mile and if I stop at Dollar Tree or the grocery store, it adds more to my walk.  It's nice to do and I feel good doing it.  On Friday night, I was so tired from staying up late that I sat down in their food area and played a video game for about 15 minutes.  I've been making it a habit the last couple of nights.   They have some ice cream stand and a place where you can get tacos and other food.  Other people are sitting there eating.  The ice cream is kind of expensive and well, I should pass on more sweets or I know I should but I noticed the 99 cent tacos on Mondays.  Or is it Tuesdays?  I don't know. I might try it some time.  I'm happy to see people there because honestly, the prices are expensive.  I have found some fruit at a reasonable p...

I wanted to clarify my last post.  Never went to prom or any dances in school and I'm actually ok with that.  When you hear about what my classmates would do, you think, I'm good.  Maybe one of these days I'll go buy myself some mascara and give all the customers a thrill at CVS on Downer while my eyes turn into racoons from the heat.  I do miss my mascara and yeah, it would be nice if I got asked to do something that involved dressing up and wasn't for work. I do keep some work clothes that fit me because there might be a reason I got to do something or something changes.  I'll be happy to burn them when retirement shows up.  I'll admit I didn't have to dress up like I did at other jobs.  When I found out I could wear sandals, I thought I won the lottery.  People would get written up for showing their feet at my previous job.  Gasp! I don't look forward to my day because it involves me talking to people and well, I don't have much to say at ...

Today, I threw out the make up stash that I had for eBay when I was trying to flip items.  Yeah. I forgot make up had a shelf life even when it's sealed.  I was tossing stuff here and there and finally I dumped it.  I could tell some of the lipsticks were melting when I opened them.  Sigh.  Yeah.  That didn't end well. I made some money but spent more.  It was just a horrible idea.  I thought what do I know about make up these days?  I don't go to an office.  I do have some glimmer balm from Bobbie Brown that I go to use for days I had meetings to look a little livelier and maybe if I had an appointment.  Other that that, I just make sure I moisturize and use spf.   I do miss wearing make up but like the make up melting in my closet, a lot of it doesn't have a shelf life.  The thing I love has the shortest - mascara.  I miss wearing mascara.  No, I won't do fake eye lashes.  They look insane on young pe...

 Oh, I dread signing in.  Totally. I sent out a message asking for help before I signed off.  We'll see who listens.  Nobody. I thought at least I threw it out there. I did it after the diva signed off for her 2 weeks.  I didn't want her to say I'll stay online and sacrifice my errands time for Connie.  She knows how to make me feel bad.  I appreciate her saying I got you when she does offer help but I also want to ask, Do you really?  She disappoints me so much. I hope she does have a decent time.  She has been better with me since the lurker left but I really hate that she chose the bully to feel more important.  She still has her love fest with Regina but that's a little easier to take than it used to be. I thought it would be nice to have someone I could talk to during the day once in awhile when things got tough.  The diva isn't that much older than me even though she told me she was younger.  I don't know why I have expec...

It's really just a morning but my mom said that I can use it to bum.  Well when gas is over $4, I don't think I'll be doing that.  I will be going to the east side and my big luxury will be going to Metro Market in Shorewood to see how their strawberries look.  Their produce sometimes looks way better than ours so I'll see.  I know. I can hardly contain my excitement.  I'll do it after my walk this morning. I have to get to some postcards fast this week. I didn't realize my mailing date was next week and I just barely am half way done.  The nerd in me ordered more blue Sharpie pens to use my fancy writing.  My penmanship has greatly improved since I started doing this. Looks like Precious is going to pound on the window until I open it up. I might even use my Starbucks gift card today after Metro Market. I can hardly contain my exciting life. Have a good day good humans. 

It was actually a nice walk through downtown. I walked more down Wisconsin Avenue and kind of headed towards the east side.  The problem with downtown is that sometimes you do come across people trying to hustle you.  Yeah.  I'm all hustled out. I'm just too tired for that nonsense. When I walked back to where I was parked, I had the right to walk but I didn't.  There was a car that was in the walkway and I figured I'll just wait.  I didn't feel like walking in front of their car.  The guy saw me and smiled.  Then he said something to his wife and smiled.  They looked at me and I thought why are you looking at me?  Do I look like an idiot?  I felt like it.  I wasn't going to say any obscenities.  I thought if you're in a big hurry, just go.  My mom thought it was more of a feeling guilty that the driver knew they were in the wrong. I thought am I dressed funny?  I had originally had a zip up sweatshirt that I tied aro...
