Another slow-pokey day. Went to Shop-Rite to pick up ingredients for the salad and dressing I'm bringing to our Steel Magnolias "Girls Night Out" party today. Also got a six-pack of Coors Light for the occasion. We're going to have a hair dresser come and show the participants how to fix hair. Should be great fun.
Other than that and running a few errands, I mostly stayed in and read. Am reading a biography of singer Kate Smith, who was very big in the thirties to sixties. It's pretty good--filled with detail, which is the way I like my bios--and it sheds light on her relationship with her long-time manager, Ted Collins.
Other than that, nothing going on around here.
Oh-ho! I'm going to wax literary now and point out--as I'm sure the reader has already noticed--that I just repeated the phrase "other than that" in quick succession. It's funny how I didn't realize it when I was writing it the second time. I guess one's mind just likes certain words or combinations thereof, and lets the configuration pass.
Or something....
And that comment is clear evidence that I have nothing to say--so get off the page, Mimi!
