@Jessica
Dear Jess: 
I want to thank you again for prompting me to do this....  for those that have not written our a similar unique list for themselves, I encourage them to do so. 
I already had some of this in my personal pen and paper journal and I now have brought it up to date, thanks to you.

Again, Jess........  THANK YOU
Hugs,
Danielle

Surely you jest.  I work on chaos. What you propose is too much like planning. ewww

Hugs,

Mini UPDATE, July 26, 2018  2:00PM Thursday:

Lookie what my Barista Suitor#5 just brought to me this afternoon.   She knows that I like an early afternoon Latte and she also knows I like chocolate and the big chocolate chip cookies they make at the coffee shop... without me ever asking she comes next door to my office and gives them to me for an afternoon pick-me-up.   So very sweet.
     

Regarding my other active suitors:
I saw ShyGuy Suitor#3 at the coffee shop having breakfast with one of his customers.   He saw me and signaled me over to his table and introduced me to his business friend... he then got his cell phone out and showed him the picture that was taken when we went on our recent dinner date....   that was very nice!!!!

My Dental Hygienist Suitor #4 called me at noon today while she was on break and we chatted for a few minutes and made plans to go to a casual dinner on Friday...   also, that was very nice.

So, that is all for now....
Thank you for reading and following... your comments are always welcome.
Hugs,
Danielle

this is all so cute! I'm a little jealous lol

Nicely done Barista Suitor#5 the pink cup and chocolate cookie have to be a winner!!Delivery included!! The other two may have to work a bit harder

Although ShyGuy Suitor#3 being all cute and friendly is nice as well...hmmmm so that leaves you with being chatted up by Dental Hygienist Suitor #4.  Well don't you just have the quiet life!!LOL

It does not surprise me that they are lined up for you, from the very small amount about you we can glean from your words, your personality shines through in every thing you write. They are lucky people to have you in their lives.

Take care

Saturday Morning June 28, 2018 happy UPDATE
As I mentioned in my previous update on July 26, I was asked by my Dental Hygienist Suitor #4 to go on a casual dinner date with her on Friday. 
Well, at the last minute she called and we agree because the weather has been so nice (in the mid-70's and sunny) that we should dress up a little and change the venue to a little more upscale. 
                 
We both wore our strappy dresses and sandals.  All eyes were on us as we walked to the restaurant and then went in and sat at our table.  I admit that I was a little self-concious but at the same time it was a brand new feeling to know that we appeared to be eye-candy for some of the customers there.   
Here in my town many of the women here do not dress up often... neither do the men. 
My strappy black dress is not exactly a Little Black Dress, but it is my conservative version.   We went to an early dinner and then took our time eating and conversing.... a wonderful dinner and early evening..... lots of fun!!!

Hugs,
Danielle

You and your date look great, Danielle!  I am glad that you had a good time.

Your posts are valuable to show those following in your footsteps that life post-transition can be normal and happy.  Just as you are showing those who know you in real life the same thing.  You are an inspiration.

[sarah1972]

You both look stunning!! I love some of the spontaneous moments of #4 - a last minute upgrade for your dinner date!

So nice you two get a chance to dress up and enjoy a nice evening together. I can only imagine the looks you must have gotten...

Oh - and you look really happy! I assume #4 looks equally happy [emoji2] !

I hope you will have a great weekend!

Hugs,

Sarah

What a cute picture!  You look great.

Well what can I say, lovely no wonder every one was looking. A strappy dress is one thing I haven got yet , think its time to shop!!

@davina61
Dear Davina:  It took some time for me to feel comfortable wearing these types of strappy dresses particularly with the fitted waist and the shorter length.   

I have another more revealing little black dress that has spaghetti straps and low cut back and low cut V-front, shorter and tightetr... that shows all my curves and cleavage... and more legs!  It was a very big step for me to wear that one... I needed to muster all of my self-confidence for sure.   
I kept trying it on and checking with my friends to make certain that I looked OK in it...   For this dinner date it was just a little too formal to wear considering what #4 told me that she was going to wear...
Every girl needs cute black dresses....

Yes, go shopping, take your friend Deb with you (and your credit card) and if you are uncertain about your choices she could probably help you with that.   I always figured that my friends would not want to be embarrassed being seen with me so I do value their opinions on these matters.

Thank you for your reply...  and happy shopping,
Hugs,
Danielle

@sarah1972
Dear Sarah:  Yes indeed... we were constantly being looked at by all the men and the women there... I knew quite a few of them so it wasn't completely like all strangers were staring.   #4 was very pleased to see me when she came to pick me up...  she tried but she couldn't give me enough compliments...  that felt so good.

I hope that your Saturday projects are going as you planned....   a picture might be required showing the playhouse that you built for your kiddo.

Thank you for reading and commenting,

You both look lovely Danielle! I too have reservations about wearing strappy dresses and tops but you most certainly pull it off any day of the week and twice on Sundays. I fear my shoulders are too big and don't like the way I look. I've only been on HRT for 11 months. I still have a bit of mass to lose, but getting there.

Hugs!

[sarah1972]

Looking at your avatar @Donica, I think you can easily pull off a strappy or strapless dress. @Alaskan Danielle too.... Initially, I was very worried too especially given that I feel my upper body is too large but then I thought of Mrs. Michelle Obama and her toned upper arms and thought, mine are about the same, so now I worry much less... I recently went for a strapless crop top dress which turned out pretty nicely and thanks to the crop top stays (somewhat) in place...

I did notice that I now prefer shoulder free or strappy things, especially given the temperatures we have here...
