We had the book "Haunted" by Chuck Palahniuk. We think one of J's parents left it after reading it. J just read it. He said it tried to be as gross, creepy or disgusting as possible, hence, I am not reading it.From my family, my Pop had a free Smithsonian magazine subscription to give away. I guess this has happened previously. This time it's my turn. Very sweet. Maybe he wanted to send me a reminder of my time in the Balt-DC area. Lynx are awesome.
This is how I always wanted life to be II.
Met my oldest best friend and her husband in Springfield at the Fort for lunch. It was my idea to set them up many years ago. Now they've been married like 13+ years and have 2 kids. German sausage lunch and beer at a place I went with my parents when I was a kid, cool. And so cool I could be lunching with my friend on her 40th Bday. And on my way to meet this friend, had some extra time so stopped at an even older friend's place of biz, a local paper. He was at Mass, but saw his mother for the first time in maybe 15+ years. This friend's parents were the coolest. They let us hang out on the porch, they didn't stop us from smoking, they joined our conversations about music, art, philosophy, literature and when their son started a band, he was allowed to turn his bedroom into a practice space. Yeah, it was awesome.
Then decided to stop at a thrift store I used to frequent. Been wanting a ski vest, but didn't really want to spend any money on one. Spied this red one (pic) and when I tried it on and put my hands in the pocket - found $12 and change. The vest paid for itself and gave me left over $ to get the Eastern Birds field guide my husband had just wished he had this am.
