Desert Sky At Night, Half-Naked Woman In The Morning
There was a half-naked woman -- one who looked very much like me -- wandering the sidewalks of Rancho Mirage, California.
Gregg, Aida (my wee Chinese Crested), and I spent Thanksgiving with some Michigan friends who also have a place in the desert.
The sky here is especially beautiful, and Gregg took a picture as the moon was just coming out.
When we're here, we usually stay in our friends' guest room, but it was occupied, so they put us and another one of their friends up in a wonderful little bungalow at the country club across the way.
Friday morning, Gregg drove out to Starbucks to get me coffee and, while he was gone, I wanted to let Aida out on the patio in case she needed to pee. When trying to secure the space, I managed to lock myself out. While wearing only a towel and my down booties!
It's cold here in the morning and evening, and I realized Gregg might be a while, so I clutched the towel around me and wandered off down the path of bungalows looking for a maintenance worker. And, by the way, it was a rather abbreviated towel -- accessorized by my REI down booties -- and no, there are no pictures of that!
I saw Gregg over the stone fence of the parking lot and turned back to go to our pad. He spotted me and thought, "Who's that crazy woman in the towel and the clown shoes." And then he realized, "Uh-oh...she's my crazy woman." (Though I can't imagine Gregg, who our French friend Laurent describes as my "grizzly-sized data nazi," ever saying "uh-oh.")
And yes, he, too, wishes he'd thought to whip out his phone and take a photo.
That's an "I love Lucy" tv show moment. LOL.

Definitely. I have a lot of them! Gregg just shakes his head.
I laugh at them. This allows me to feel unintentionally hilarious instead of unintentionally an idiot.

Glad you escaped unscathed.
If I found one of the womenfolk in my household in such a situation, I am pretty sure taking a photo of her would be very low on my list of things to do.

If I did do it, I might find it on the list of last things I ever did!

Microagression! This is the very kind of story that causes me to revert to my sexist, patriarchal upbringing, not to mention it makes my bulbous naughty parts all tingly.

Beautiful silhouette of peaks, valleys and gorgeous curves, though! Is that racist?

No photos? A reenactment would be acceptable.

Our relationship is powered in humor in large part.
