Andi and I are upset at our local Wal-Mart. They are expanding and pushing out many of the mall stores in order to expand exponentially to a Super Wal-Mart.

Today we found out they also sued to close the Big Lots in the mall. The nearest Big Lots will be 60 miles away, in Rochester. The mall broke a 5-year lease to kick out Big Lots.

That makes both deep discount stores in town they managed to squeeze out. Although I didn't go to Family Dollar all that much, that's already gone from the mall.

Yes, my style is predictable.

That's your word choice. I would say you have a signature style. I'm large with love on the second dress. I think the first is pretty too, but I really love the second one, Laura.

Cashmere! Oooh. Are you sleeping in, and having coffee that's still hot when you drink it, and eating your food while it's still warm?

As soon as I find a spare 12,000 a year, I'll let you know, Val.

Hee! You and me both!

vw, that apartment would almost be worth me having to pack up all my stuff again.

Take care, Cass.

Cashmere, yay vacation!

---

VW, I just realized I used your real name, so I will go back and edit, if you want to too.

---

Nah...it's fine.

---

Oh well-- I already edited.

I would be digging around desperately trying to find that two grand. My lord. Exposed brick makes me weak in the good way. And that's just the start.

Laura, I love those dresses and the idea that you'd wear the second one all the time. It's so pretty--way prettier than anything I have. Cool.

My parents don't send me cards. I don't they ever have. Sometimes they call, but I'm not much of an occasion person. You can forget Christmas or my birthday and I won't hold it against you.

So I've started a load of laundry and have my next load on call in a basket. That's enough productivity for today, right?

---

Fuck.

Laundry.

Right.

Someone should make me dinner then.

That's only fair.
