And on a lighter note....

Okay. Here's where I ask for opinions. :)

This morning I had to take my housemate over to the Surgery Center. She had foot surgery. That meant getting up at 5.30 AM, getting me ready, waking her up, getting her there by 6.30 AM. That in itself was the easiest part.

I hope this doesn't sound too vain, but I actually spent time getting dressed, all my Thai finery. Somehow, it made me feel better, not so tired. Besides, well, it's just what I do.

While she had surgery, I walked over to Safeway to pick up a few groceries and take a walk around the area.

Then I went back to the lobby and read a book for a few hours until they told me I could drive her home.

During that three-hour period, I got five compliments on my clothes.

Two at Safeway and three at the Surgery Center.

I really took it in and might have smiled too wide when I said "thank you" and the smile probably lasted too long.

I am not a prideful person in any regard and really try to avoid allowing my ego to get in the way of my common sense. Yet at the same time, I so appreciated those compliments. They made me feel good.

So I drank them in.

Do you think that's prideful of me ~ or vain?

Just wondering. That's not why I do the clothes but it certainly does encourage me. :)
