I called Cee around 9:30am or 10 to find out when she wanted to meet up at our new favorite (and secret from the Beast) restaurant. She had to pick up Babybrat and run an errand first so we agreed that 1pm worked for us both. This would be the first time that Babybrat joined us.
Our favorite bartender was there so we sat at the bar to eat, have a drink or two and a few laughs. Babybrat said it was nice to laugh. We made jokes about being old but not feeling like it, and laughing loudly but not caring what anyone thought. We were having fun! We even admitted that, once upon a time when we were young, seeing three old ladies laughing and having a good time would have made us feel sorry for their bad manners. But, now that WE are the old ladies, we know just WHY they didn't care if they were a bit loud. We literally don't give a damn what anyone thinks at this point in our lives.
Babybrat came unraveled when I said something about being 70. I never saw such a shocked look on her face. She hadn't thought about our ages but the idea of me being 70 was not how old she thought I was. She told me that, for being 70, I was doing good. She thought I looked younger than that (I don't!). I guess her idea of someone who is 70 must be very wrinkled, infirm and one foot in the grave. LOL! I told her that it was just numbers and I felt much younger than that. It's true! It's just my body betrays me on occasion.
When I got home, the Beast had finished changing the stairs in the garage. It wasn't what I expected but Baron didn't even hesitate to use it to get in the house. The *bottom stair* is actually a platform that is lower than the original step and it's long enough for Baron to stand on with all four paws on it. It has an indoor-outdoor rug covering it. Then there are two regular steps into the house. Baron definitely feels more secure getting on that and then there are only two stairs for him to climb. He went up it like a champ! This will eliminate problems we had in the winter when the front porch and steps got a bit icy. We had to use sand on it, not salt, because salt burned Baron's pads on his feet. We will just use these stairs from now on for him.
Cee stopped at a new outlet store that just opened that is on her way home after she dropped off Babybrat. It's just called VR outlet. It features Lee jeans that range in price from $8.95 to $19. It also has great quality tops from $4.00 to $8.95. The higher priced ones are 3/4 sleeves (and perhaps some that are longer). She said there's no comparison to the very best stuff they sell at Walmart. These are fine cotton and cotton blends. She bought a few things for herself and I believe she picked up a top for Babybrat. I'm anxious now to get up there and take a look around. I could really use a couple more pair of jeans (and I love Lee jeans!) and some nice casual tops.
Well, time to get myself ready for bed. I tried taking a nap earlier but only got in 1/2 hour one. The Beast kept coming in and waking me so I gave that up as a lost cause. But it will be nice if it means I get more sleep tonight than the last few nights.
Love you all. Hope your week started out well. Remember, be kind. Even a small act of kindness may make someone's day. ***Hugs***
