My little sister and I hung out for majority of the day Sunday with her first wedding dress fitting in River, lunch at Max’s deli (how can I fail to mention the GIGANTIC corned beef sandwich with swiss and the side order of a slice of M&M’s cheesecake??), then Crocker Park for the art walk and a successful jeans purchase at Indigo Nation — YES! I finally have my Paige denim! And in complete random-Mel fashion, the chick next door to my dressing room was my old roommate’s ex-girlfriend. First random: she doesn’t live in the Cleveland-area, let alone the state of Ohio or remotely close to the midwest. And she recognizes me. I realize shortly afterward (when she begins to dish the “break up” story, otherwise known as the “last time I ever spoke to him”), she didn’t realize the ol’ roommate and I dated a few years after I had moved out. (Obviously, it didn’t pan out to anything and their relationship ending had nothing to do with my presence, as I was head/heart/vagina-infatuated with “L” back then).
Reading: I just ordered five books from Amazon.com. I created a new “book nook” in my condo with my papasan near the window with eighteen throw pillows (give-or-take). It was incredibly relaxing reading after work yesterday. Oh, almost done with the Bellamy “women murderesses” book. ALMOST. (I realized I was three issues behind on my Better Homes & Garden mag). Loved, loved the story of reluctant Perry-native (and bisexual in the 1920s??!!) Velma West who beat her husband to death with a claw-hammer.
