I bought myself an achingly beautiful African dress for my birthday present. It's main color is turquoise which is mine and Louise's favorite color. It has sparkles at the neckline. It's loose and light, perfect for the hot hot hot weather we are having.

Yes, people who know us well are comforting. I know i missed that when my ex-husband and i split up, as toxic as the relationship was. He missed me too, told me so, even tho it was for the best that we went our separate ways. No need to keep up a brave front here tho. Feel free to let loose! |
Many happy birthdays to you, whatever2013! This time on your birthday.
Your dress sounds absolutely lovely! Do you have an idea where you will wear it for the first time?
That's great that you will now have an additional place to socialize. There is apparently a seniors gathering in the town I live in, but only Hubby qualifies as a senior at this point. I'm not sure if I would be welcome yet. Plus, for some reason Hubby is reluctant to go, though I encouraged him to. I even told him to go to the local hospoda (pub) where he's meet locals, mostly men. Pub visitation is part of the daily life for many Czechs.
