The Singles by Meredith Goldstein - The perfect easy beach read. It's been too hot to go to the beach, so I read this fun little book-ready-to-be-made-into-a-chick-flick in two nights. It's a charming vacation from serious and engrossing novels. Not to say that you might not become engrossed in the lives of these five people who have RSVPd to a wedding as singles rather than with their "plus 1s". The bride is a bit put out by the odd number of guests on her seating chart, but those guests turn out to be the most interesting people at the party.
Magic Mike - I saw this movie with bead group last Thursday afternoon.....Susan, Sue, Wendy, Michelle and I. Michelle hosted us on this 100+ degree day and we had wonderful salads and Michelle's fudgy brownies, and I made and wore some new big earrings that are now my favorites. Then over to Old Orchard for the movie. We sat front and center for the show....exactly where none of us would ever sit in a real strip club! And not only would Kathy never go to a real strip club, but she didn't even want to see the movie. But for Kathy, and the other squeamish types out there, I can tell you that it's funny, it has good dancing, and there is something about the acting and characters that makes you pull for them. As he grows older, Matthew McConaghy is like a parody of himself; the role of Dallas was made for him. The other two guys are darling and easy on the eyes, and the story was good. Who knew?(Thank you Susan)
