I was looking at some short films C dropped in my mailbox of Thanksgiving here at the LaLa – us all dressed as pilgrims and indians and the delicious food that was spread out on every surface and of course, the dancing that ensued. Hanukkah rolled around and every night was a different group to light the menorah and celebrate the season with me. Then I was looking at pics of Christmas eve of G and I…
I walked Loca for a long time this morning and then rushed home to get an hour and a half bike ride in before mom got here this morning for our Saturday brunch. It was glorious – perfect temperature – no jacket required – and I rode out to the point and back but hit a headwind that made me feel like the witch cycling in the Wizard of Oz. We went to Caffeo on Dumaine…
Last night, I made dinner for friends and the conversation was all about Obama – I said I had veered his way when I realized he was the candidate who had voted against the war and the chorus was we need to elect Hillary – I said I’m still a little on the fence but my bias is towards Obama. When I drove cross country from California to New Orleans, I listened to Bill Clinton’s…
TGIFF is all I have to say – there is nothing like starting the New Year on a Wednesday and having all you have to do compressed into three days instead of five. But with the weather once again back under control around here, I was able to get out and take a long walk with Loca and lie down on a park bench and look at the clouds, and throw leftover bread to the…
When I first started going to my favorite wine store that will remain nameless, a friend of mine told me that is where the PPC hangs out, and now I have found out the god’s honest truth – the PPC doesn’t hang out there although they are known to show up every now and then. The PPC redefine Lipstick Lesbian and ratchet up the girl flourish by about 1000 – they are polar opposites of…
The cold is gone – it’s in the upper 60s – back to the Gulf South feeling. Ahhhhhhhhhh.
This horoscope couldn’t be more appropriate. I’ve been getting 10 hours sleep a night lately and foregoing any social invitations that are coming my way and believe me, hard to believe, but they keep a coming. There is a party on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights this weekend. Alas, I committed to a party next Friday and that is all I will put on my calendar. I’m having a couple of friends over for a…
My sister called to say “why don’t you come visit me when you know that I am sick” – I didn’t respond.My mother called to say that she is driving to Atlanta to get back the Volvo I gave her that she let my sister drive off with six months ago. She refuses to take responsibility for her part in the matter.If you don’t engage – they can’t get you. But the first phone call…
On Rosh Hashana every year, Jews celebrate the new year according to the Jewish calendar – this year for New Year’s I welcomed the new year much in the same way that I do on Rosh Hashana by asking forgiveness from those I have wronged and for forgiving those who have wronged me. You don’t necessarily get forgiveness from those you ask of it but asking for it is part of the process. I also did the…
