Pegucy Bundcardo and the Haunted Mall - Chapter 2

(In this dramatic reenactment, the bed represents the haunted mall
and my cat is the pashmina hoarding ghost)

Chapter Two - Waiting for Pegucy

(for ch 1 click here)

Thirty-two minutes later, an anxious Joanne Miller paced before the grand entrance to Campbell’s department store awaiting Pegucy’s arrival. Caroline Graham had a clear view of Joanne from where she stood at her jewelery counter. Caroline didn’t know what Joanne was up to, but she could tell she was waiting for someone. Joanne was in her late thirties, though Caroline thought she looked much older wearing those conservative suits and that ever-present string of pearls; this new worried look on Joanne’s face did nothing to help that situation.

Pegucy Bundcardo and the Haunted Mall - Chapter One

I walked in to Target (which is generally a very RED store) and I noticed that there was an overwhelming amount of TEAL on their shelves this season. Everywhere I looked, teal items were jumping out at me. Toasters, hangers, sweaters, sheets, picnic sets, hair driers- all teal. And then it hit me... teal is trending. Not sure how I feel about that yet, so: shit and/or yay... I'll have to get back to you on that one.

You ever have one of those moments in life when you can pick out one particular color everywhere you look? Like, you're stopped at a traffic light and you realize that you can spot 19 different things that are pistachio green? Sometimes I feel like I'm one of the kids from Ghost Writer, only instead of letters popping out of signage to help me solve a mystery, colors and patterns pop out to help me come up with ideas on how to dress like Roy G. Biv's girlfriend.

For the record, I'd rather have the power to solve a mystery with the help of ghosts than dress like Peggy Bundy-meets-Lucy Ricardo, but that's the hand I was dealt... but I guess the real win would be if I could solve mysteries w/ ghosts WHILE DRESSED like Peggy/Lucy Bundy/Ricardo! Hmm... this is giving me an idea...
