THE 'BOOK LADY'

Well 😉

Today, I got a new title: “The Lady With The Book”.

It made me laugh.

I like anything that makes me laugh 😊

I have a lot on my mind lately with plans I hope pan out, and that makes me tired … not worn down, just a little sleepy after entertaining all the thoughts running through my mind that keep me up late into the evenings, and wake me early in the mornings.

So, this morning I cleaned house for a bit: seeing those spider webs the other morning kinda jump-started the house cleaning spree of late …

… and after stirring up the dust bunnies, whisking them up, and disposing of them – I sat down in Bob’s recliner and let my eyelids close for a brief 40 winks, only to have my brainwaves shock me back into action with the call to “BINGO!” in an hour. LOL

I jumped up, ran to wash my hair, quickly change clothes … and barely make it across town in time.

I should have stayed home.

I was seated next to a cranky complainer, yawned the entire hour I stayed for my portion of Bingo – and lost every dollar I spent to play ($7). The cards were teasing me … taking me as far as 1 tab open: but they never took me all the way 😉

After that dismal hour, I thought I’d hoof it over to the Country Folks Deli and have a pick-me-up Black-n-Blu Burger (I thought it kinda fit the mood; LOL).

The back parking lot was packed, so I had to drive around the block twice before a space was freed up to nip into. I usually avoid the front end of the deli because Bob and I always ate in that end … right off Commerce main Street. But today, I had no choice.

The front end of the Deli ... it's been a while since I've taken a table in this section of the restaurant.; upstairs in the wine-meal section. This building used to be an old mud-street Saloon.

I like eating here on occasion; and there is a peppy waiter there that makes it a point to wait on me, when I come in. Practically as soon as I sit down, he’s at my table with pencil and pad at the ready. He never forgets what I had the last time I was there, and he’s fun to talk with – very personable and friendly.

Today, before he could get to me, another waiter stopped by my table and asked me what I’d like to drink, I ordered a Root Beer … and he jetted off to get it. Then, Mr. Peppy stepped by, and asked, “Are you going to have the Ranch Burger again with Home fries?” I said, “I’ll have the fries, but let’s try the Black-n-Blu Burger today – I need the cajun spices to wake me up.” We laughed, and he hustled off to place the order.

That’s when I heard my new Name 😉

He must have met my root beer fella on his way to my table, because I heard them conversing … and the convo ended with, “to the table of the ‘lady with the book’”.

I'm referred to as 'the book lady' by the Country Deli Folks waiters. LOL

Since I am the only person who ever goes in there with a book, and reads it at the table; I knew I was the ‘Lady’ being spoken about 😊

Current Read. This is a book series of humorous mystery stories based around small town intuitive cats – does this make an aging cat lady?

Sometimes I will be asked what I am reading: if the waiters have time to chit-chat. Other times, they just quietly ftech and clean around my reading.

I chuckled, and thought, “Well … there are other names some people pin on me; I can live with this one.”

I don’t mind the Title. 

It fits, at the moment 😉
