Dear Reader,
I'm not the only one who feels like being "bad" every now-and-then. Readers wrote in and confessed, many were quite amusing. If you missed my column, go to: http://tinyurl.com/DRcol514
From one bad "girl" to another, enjoy this book club reader's confession...
"Dear Suzanne, as a middle-aged, long-married librarian, I lead a pretty tame life. When I feel like being 'bad' I take a personal day and go to the nearest multiplex movie theater. Before leaving home, I go on Theatertag.com to plan my schedule, so as to fit in as many movies as possible. I load up my largest purse with lunch, snacks and bottled water. Then I buy a ticket to the bargain matinee. Once in the theater, I go from auditorium to ladies room to auditorium until I run out of movies, or I get tired. (So far my record is three and I have never been caught!:-) None of this "wickedness" is illegal. If you do get caught, the ushers can ask you to leave and might not let you back in for awhile, but as long as you bought one ticket that day, they can't have you arrested. Enjoy!" --(Of course I've omitted the name, bad girls stick together.)
