Lori and I went off for breakfast this morning. It was crowded. We spoke to a few people while we were waiting. We decided to swing into Goodwill afterwards for a bit of browsing (turned into retail therapy
) Really, there is nothing better than just spending time with someone as you browse and chat.
With my arms getting full, I went for a cart .. grabbed the slowest noisiest cart ever, had to swap that out. I ended up browsing carts just to find a workable one. While involved in that a couple ladies came in. I hear, "Hello Faith, we meet again". It was the couple from IHOP and they remembered my name. I suppose I do stand out just a bit
After a brief friendly conversation we go our separate ways to finish our shopping.
With Halloween stuff everywhere, on a whim, I tried on a hat (hats hate me). Lori's eyes popped and said, "Wait, I need a picture". Well, I must say, not too shabby:
Oh and the obligatory scarf picture for Steph and Jayne
Here's a link to the album:

not buy the hat nor the scarf.
there was more to the shopping spree (+-$70 before discount cards). All in all, quite awesome.

Had a happy moment at the check out:

Today at Goodwill, at the checkout, a lady started a conversation with me by saying ,"Have we met before at <some location> we had a lot of fun". I was like, not me, I'm only just now starting to have fun.
After a brief pause she struck more conversation. Responding that I'm a work in progress she said that she has several friends transitioning. I told her how long it's been (short time) and her response was, "It's working for you, you're very pretty" .... squeee .... (small squee, I don't want to get in trouble with Steph by exploding).
already a bouncy day that really set me off .. WOOOOO!
