Retail therapy and the movies
Sometime this afternoon, I had had enough of everything and so I changed into some comfortable shoes and went out to explore New York on this fine spring day. I stumbled across a Clark’s shoe store and went in and bought Tin some new sandals as he is already outgrowing the ones he just started wearing only two months ago. Then I stumbled across a theater that had Please Bring playing and so I turned off my phone and went in and let out a big exhale and watched the movie, which was quaint much like any other Holofcenter movie and honestly, I’m not sure I know what it was about but I was glad to be watching it and doing nothing else.
Then I walked a block over to Intimacy which is where I have been buying my bras for the last four years. They have bras for my size and they are sexy and supportive and just wonderful (except for the expensive price). I also picked up a swimsuit as I think I may have given up on bikinis for good.
I went on a hunt for a wife beater for Tin but one was nowhere to be found. A woman at Bloomingdales said that others had asked for it so note to Gap – wifebeater for 12-18 months old – New Orleans is hot, it’s not fun wearing even the simplest tee.
By this time I was done with retail therapy and movies and was ready for dinner, so I ducked into Houston’s even though I was craving Indian. It was low lit with those copper artichoke lights and had that clubby feeling of anonymity that I was craving. I sat at the bar with all the single men who were devouring super sized cheeseburgers and Stella on draft and ordered a shrimp salad and a glass of champagne.
At the time of writing this entry I can tell you this – I need a couple of more afternoons like this to feel whole again!

Ha ha! I had to google wifebeater to find out what this meant. Boy am I slipping into “uncoolness” but now I know. (Btw, your blog–re wife beaters–is #5 on the google search. How cool is that!)
