It was out ...It is my greatest desire that...

March 26, 2016. I hated social settings. They filled me with fear and nervousness. I was in 6. Grade and had just started wearing pantyhose. Since we were always on a tight budget, my mother would generally buy the cheapest items, regardless of quality. I was at a wedding reception in a dress, pantyhose and heels. She was short in her black dress, fishnet stockings, crisp white apron and cap. Honey, you dropped your bottom. Are my pantyhose hanging bunched around my ankles, again? Is my slip hanging?

March 1, 2016. Why do I want to post? There are Vast and numerous blogs out there.writers pouring out their thoughts/opinions, etc. Why do writers write? It is not merely for ourselves.
