Terri said I got to choose where we ate but she wanted to go somewhere that didn’t have a restaurant in Grande Prairie. I don’t have any favorite restaurants in Red Deer (they all pretty much suck) so we drove around a bit. We decided on the Toad and Turtle. I ordered a portobello burger with salad and she ordered a chicken wrap with fries. (I ate most of her fries. Yum!)
It was so nice seeing a familiar face for a change. I miss my GP friends. It was nice catching up with Terri. She gets me. Terri was there when I starting running and through the madness with Sean. I really needed to chat with a friend tonight. Funny how things work out that way!
We stopped at the Running Room for a quick look around before heading to Chapters. Grande Prairie does not have a Chapters so Terri wanted to check for Fairy Tale Interrupted by Rosiemarie Terenzio. I just wanted to soak in all the books.
I used to buy books all the time while I lived in Korea. I had the money and there were no English libraries. I wasn’t shopping for a book. But at the last minute I pulled The Happiness Project from the shelves and headed straight to the register. Something told me I had to buy the book today.
I haven’t read a good book in a long while. I have lost my reading groove. I hope this book sparks my love of reading again. As well, I hope it sets me on the right path for now. Feeling a bit lost and lonely these days.
