Today’s photo challenge was a carousel. Those sly kids of mine knew that meant a trip to the mall where there is a double decker carousel. You never really have to ask me twice to go to the mall anyway.
So, we got some back to school shopping done. And Marty got his cotton candy since I totally reneged on Shakespeare in the Park. In my defense, it was HOT yesterday.
I wish The Memorial City Mall had a Betsey Johnson store because I like to poke around in there. I know enough not to wear her clothes any more. I still wear her accessories. I try not to embarrass my children too much. Plus, it gives my daughter something cute to borrow.
Aren't these Betsey earring just to live for? (I always say to live for, who wants to die? How would I enjoy them if I died?)
For my artist date today I stayed home to watch Spirited Away. I love that movie and it always inspires me. I’m writing a coming of age story. My main character is adamant on being called Andrew, not Andy. I was thinking of how the girl in Spirited Away has her true name stolen, which is a pretty common theme in fairy tales. My son, who insists on being called Marty, tells me he’ll go by Martin when he’s a man. Names can be so powerful, can’t they?
It’s time to get back to working on my novel. See you next time.
