Another early start

 Well not that early, we've just started daylight saving, so it's an hour later than it actually feels like. That's a good thing and it means I can get shopping an hour earlier. It's quite easy but some people have difficulties with the concept of daylight savings.

Anyway, before 9am, I went out for a coffee, now I've wanted to wear my goth skirt ever since I got it, but last outing I didn't feel comfortable visiting my usual cafes or pub. Well today I managed to wear it. I love the lace and also how high the front is.

After morning coffee, I decided to visit Kmart, but the lacy skirt probably not appropriate so a change of skirts first (black denim). While there I tried on a couple of skirts and tops.



While the tops didn't quite work for me, I did buy the two skirts. They were both on special with this shiny green one being only $3.

Once the shopping mall was fully open, I spent an hour browsing around, having another coffee, reading the daily paper and generally just having a nice relaxing time.

Once I got home, it started raining heavily and as Auckland is on water restrictions and we're not allowed to use garden hoses, I joined one of my daughters in washing the cars in the rain - lots of fun.

2 hours - interrupted

 I had a couple of hours free, so I decided to dress up, try my new hip pads (not overly a fan at this stage). With so little time, I quickly covered my stubble with foundation, slapped on lips stick and raced out the door.

I was planning a coffee and getting my nails done.


Unfortunately, half way through my coffee, wife calls up and mentions the new flat pack kitchen is ready for pick up and she would really love it if I could pick it up before she gets home.

So much for getting nails done - off to Mitre 10 for her new flat pack kitchen (guess I know what I'm doing this weekend).

An elderly gent grabbed a young muscle to load my car. 
Standing on the wheel to strap the bench top on the roof, my large boobs kept getting in the way of me trying to stretch over the top of the car.


I really didn't want to get changed, but decided jeggings and maroon top would be fine to relax at home in this evening (just wife and 2 youngest daughters at home tonight)

Sunday

Another 2 hours out - still trying to get used to my hip pads, still not sure about them.

Coffee and shopping. I purchased a new handbag, bigger because a girl needs her stuff, besides, the old one was 20 years old and the lining had failed over 5 years ago.

After a car change, I took my youngest daughter to Rainbows End theme park. Anyone would think we're mad adventure junkies.

Tried to sleep in

 I managed to sleep until 6.30.

It's nice and bright by this time, so a quick dress up, not bothering to shave but a dab of pink under my foundation to hide the stubble and a lick of lipstick and it's time to head out. While the sky is void of clouds and the sun warming, a cool southerly breeze is holding temperatures down which gives me an excuse to wear my 2 week old long sleeve top.

Some cafes open early on Saturdays, and by 7.30 I was relaxing with a coffee and newspaper.


I had a nice quick chat with one of the shop regulars. I so enjoy polite people.

Sunday was worse - 5.30 am wake up

It was one of those mornings, I thought my daughters top would look nice on me (she has small boobs and a 6 pack, I have big boobs and a keg). In the dark it looked okay - not so much in the light (aka a totally bad way to dress ). 

I hope she got the top for half price, because the bottom of it, is missing.

60 uneventful minutes

Chores tonight
1) Take daughter for driving practice
2) Go shops for groceries

I had a brainwave and told wife she could do the driving practice and Rachel could do the groceries.
Wife agreed on condition Rachel wasn't close to home.

So a quick make over (okay, a really bad make over, didn't help having the wife trying to share the bathroom with me), jump onto clothes and off I go.

First stop, McDonald's for coffee (just because they make the best coffees and are open late).


Next stop, groceries - you know the usual - bread,  toilet paper, toothpaste, cheese, cat food, roast beef etc, etc. (okay, I also visited Kmart and tried on two tops, tempted to pop into the pub on the way home, but they were so empty I would have felt a bit out of place being by myself).
