Flattery will get you everywhere. XD
I got called a bit of alright yesterday. XD We went to Knaresborough for the day, trying to outrun the bad weather that had been working its way towards us. It was still not exactly sunny there but it was a lovely warm day. I made the effort to dress up for the occasion and I've had a black maxi dress hidden away just waiting for an official unveiling. SO yesterday was it. Dad actually commented on how good I looked (But who believes their dad when they compliment you) and I have to admit my hair was particularly glossy *_* and I was working my fringe. (Still sooo glad that I had it thickened out the other week. I love it so much!) And spent the journey making sure my makeup looked up to scratch. XD Which doesn't mean I don't usually but was nice to have plenty of time to work on it. Knaresborough is a lovely little town. They have a load of sweet charity shops and antique where I can browse to my hearts content. Really the hoarder in me really comes out in these places! I was so tempted to buy a new green man head for the garden but was really strong and resisted. I did get The Song of Achilles though. Been eyeing it up for a while at work and got it for 75p ;) only for today the Orange prize to be announced and guess what won it. woot.
So we'd gone for fish and chips. *_* The place we went did amazing haddock and onion rings. Add tartar sauce into the mix and it was unbeatable. And as we left and entered the market place we went past this shoe stall with these 2 guys and as we walked by one murmured to the other cor, do you see her, she's a bit of alright. Me o___0 Dad was ambling behind me and said they were giving me a right oggle. At the time I was meeping with embarrassment but now it keeps cropping up and making me laugh. I was feeling a bit overly dressed while we walked about but it was lovely to know I could still turn a few heads in my old age. This simple little thing that happened might not seem much to some - I'm writing about it because I don't want to drop off the face of livejournal again and this is what's on my mind - but it's not something I hear often. Even when someone says they like me I tend to find myself thinking - really? It's nice to know that just because I don't look like most of the sheep out there these days I can be deemed attractive to some.
Anywho got a lovely dress. It's red. Very summery. lol though the cleavage does have my boobs sort of exploding out of it. XD Perfect for catching the sun on them! hehe That's what I want - a bit of sun on my boobs and the undersides of my arms. Lilly white they are ¬_¬ Oh hah and my legs. Heck I just want it to be sunny again. Even now I'm tucked up in bed with my microwaves heater on my lap and my electric blanket on to 3. I'm toasty warm and do not plan on leaving it unless I really have too. Alas my need to wash my hair will scupper these plans ¬_¬ I'm delaying and I know it. But I'm leaving my blanket on so It's lovely and snuggly for my grand return. Then I shall resume with my jewellery making. I got some new findings in the post today so going to play around with the glass dome designs to go on them. They are a new style so I'm interested to see what a smaller size (8mm) dome rather than the large (12mm and 14mm) I've been playing with looks like. I just love how every single design turns out differently. I've also been playing with stamping designs on the glass and seeing how that works out. It's hard to get it right but it's been fun seeing what happens.
Darn time's up - the shower head is calling as is one of the highland toffee bars I bought yesterday. WHEN was the last time you saw a highland toffee bar?! My face --> *____* As yummy as I remembered too! So lovely to see some things never change - even if the packaging might have.
