Himself once informed me that I grew up in a hyper-polite bubble since people in my world are strongly encouraged to call before visiting, even if it's five minutes from the house. I like this standard because it allows me to be prepared for company when someone stops by.
kenwestervelt, this is why I was so bitchy on Saturday night (in addition to having a migraine) and why you damn near caught me in my underwear a few minutes ago.
Can anyone recommend an inexpensive and lightweight short robe to get me through the remainder of the miserable wet heat here? Even with air conditioning, it's uncomfortably sticky in here and I hate the feeling of literally peeling my clothes off at the end of the day. I spend the majority of the day around the house and my neighbors can't see in, but I want to be ready since unannounced visitors have escalated recently.
EDIT: I've ordered a seersucker robe from Kohl's after a suggestion from
ask_us. it should arrive sometime in the next week. Also looked at low-e film for the windows, but Himself did not like the price and says the house heats up so much during the day because it's a trailer. Gah.

But, we have the same situation. If someone came by unannounced at our home, they'd likely have to wait until at least Kat found something to cover up with.
Once he let himself in while Laurel and I were sleeping and quickly left. I was confused that time because he didn't leave a note but left bootprints in the back entry. (Robert leaves his boots at the door.)
You don't scare me -- except by threatening to NOT let me see...
It's the whole being-caught-by-surprise thing that bothers me, moreso because he doesn't need to (and I don't want him to) see me any less than fully clothed.
You should ask about the robe on
I also like to have a little something homemade ready when people visit. My best friend was stationed at Peterson when I lived in Colorado and loved having muffins or whatever after he arrived, especially since it was a 90-minute drive up from the base.
As for robes my mother and sister have these really nice Vicki's Secret silk/satin type short robes. They are very nice. I dunno how much they cost though.
Robert says the friend that keeps dropping in unannounced does it because we're on his way home (he lives a few minutes further away from town off the same main road we do), but I'm not a big person for surprises.
I think I'm going to go with a seersucker robe since that's the most practical suggestion I got after asking at
I understand the issues with Vicki's Secret. All I wanted was size small low rise bikini panties...That was too much to ask.
I've never found anything in my size at a Victoria's Secret store except for one brassiere, and I found it (their version of the Wonder Bra, can't remember the name) really uncomfortable. My sister orders from the catalog so the few VS things I own have come from there.
My boobies are way too small for anything in VS. Oh wells. I need implants. heh
