All Dressed Up and Nowhere To Go

Now there’s a blog title that speaks to the most stylish of us all.

There are times that most of us are all dressed up and have nowhere to go. Tonight was a good example. I was dressed in my usual stylish attire of jeans and sweater and boots 👢 .

Upon coming downstairs, my dad asked me if was going somewhere and I told him I wasn’t. I don’t think he approved of me wearing shoes in the house. I turned my nose up at that. It’s 2020 and I’m not worried about what people think anymore. Actually it was good inspiration for the title of my second blog tonight.

It’s a new year and that means a new me. I proposed a moratorium on visiting my Alma maters, but doesn’t mean I can’t talk about them. It will be 20 years since I started college so that’s getting its own blog later this summer.

All dressed up and nowhere to go. That ends this year. I’m going to devote more time in 2020 to going out on Friday nights. A great example would be grabbing dinner 🍽 and a drink 🍹 at Sun Dawg (open until 9 on Thursdays and Fridays). I want to attend more concerts (either in Pittsburgh or at the Palace 🎭). I want to get together with friends and have dinner together instead of going solo. I want to do more movie nights complete with popcorn 🍿.

My brick and mortar shopping days are mostly done. I’m not trying to contribute to the demise of these institutions but it’s easier to shop online because you can find merchandise easier. Maybe the same goes for Target and Giant Eagle and grocery shopping. I lead a pretty busy life so Target pickup and Curbside Express might come in handy once in a while. As for eating out, I’ll stick to my local eateries and once in a while hit up a chain (so I can use those Red Robin and Starbucks gift cards).

Other things I’m doing in 2020

I’m living at home but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to be independent. I’ll take the time to look around to see what works best.

I’m using my Amazon gift cards to update my wardrobe. I want to keep that stylish appearance going strong.

I’m celebrating with all the new Distinguished Toastmasters in District 13 and running the gauntlet at the upcoming Spring Conference.

It’s going to be a big 2020 and I’m excited where things end up. Happy New Year. ❤️ you.
