mistaken identity (lyn)
I decide to have keys made today. I don’t really need another set, but I do need an excuse to use my new copper key ring prize from Weight Watchers. The locksmith tells me I’m sexy. I think he’s kidding but I take the compliment just the same. I go to the library to pick up a book, and then stroll over to Agata’s to buy lean turkey to make into burgers for dinner tonight. On a high from the locksmith, I hear a voice behind me say, “You are so cute.” And I’m not even wearing makeup. I am feeling so good. I smile and turn around to thank the voice and see a woman, scrunched down and talking to a little white dog, hitched to a pole. I feel foolish, although she doesn’t know my mistake. But it’s still a good day. The pants I put on this morning to wear don’t fit anymore, and I bought them just a year ago. And Alexander comments that I look good (“skinny on the top and normal on the bottom”). Another 15 pounds and I should be skinny all over.
