I had a hour to kill before meeting Joel and decided to go to the
mall. I picked up the
book I had ordered online - a daily meditations-type book of the writings of Madeline L'Engle - and then got sucked into a really good sale. When I say sucked in, I mean stuck in the dressing room with the attendant "checking" on me and asking to see how it fit. After the awkwardness was over, I ended up with a different size and more self-esteem. By the time I made it out of the fitting room and endless line at the checkout counter, I had spent my birthday money and was going to be late. Joel was taking me to the
Idaho Shakespeare Festival's performance of The Mystery of Edwin Drood. My friend Stitch played a role! We packed a picnic dinner and ate on the lawn. The show was entertaining, the company great, and the evening chilly.
I spotted these license plates in the
mall parking lot - one on my way in, and two during my frantic search for my car, which I conveniently could not find for the life of me. I thought only middle-aged women lose their cars!
Florida - What a cool plate! I love the design.
North Dakota - I've seen several of these around while driving, but finally caught one on foot. It's an ironic find for that day because there were several un-connected mentions of the state in conversation.
Oklahoma - One of my frantic finds on the way to my car. I get strange looks when I'm bending over in parking lots staring at license plates.
