They finally cut the grass on the bayou – it was looking like Lion Country Safari out there for a while. It felt good to walk along the water this morning with it so nicely mown and especially after a night of segmented sleep. I went to Lola’s with L, man of mystery, after both of us had had a hellacious day – mine was work and LaLa – and his was stock market and…
N came by today – I tinted her eyebrows and we drank a bottle and a half of Rose and talked about the fact that she and the Snake have been down down down lately – and they, like most entertain thoughts of faraway places – most unfortunate – I held back tears. When her brows were done, she left as I got ready to go out with L, man of mystery, and we ran…
The Fedexfreight guy showed up today with the metal window frames – first thing he said was I love your name – the Dangermond part – I said yeah, I know. He said that he was in Chalmette – his entire family was there – living within blocks of each other and now they are not going back – he’s in Pearl River, his mother in Lafayette, the rest scattered here and there. I said…
R pinged me today to check in – he wanted to know what was up with me on all fronts – he’s working on his novel, which I know will be a great success because he’s such a good writer – Also, he’s contemplating ramping up a relationship he is in right now to the next level of mortgage, child, and cohabitation – not in that order. He offered up his Sicilian pov and observations…
C writes me from France that they missed me for the European reporters conference there – he said the last night was wild – sorry to have missed it this year – last year we went to Krakow and had too much fun. His darling Juliette is due soon with Camille, their bebe – I want a wife name Juliette! – she is a sexpot who sings beautifully and she and C often play music…
Last night we went out for a T’s birthday dinner – her birthday was in July, but she was gone, we were gone, so we went last night to Emeril’s then Rio Mar – P came with us and so the four of us were talking and the subject of G came up with G sitting there and T kind of went on the offensive and I naturally went on the defensive for G and…
I stopped in the LaLa with the Bean this morning on our walk – btw fall is in the air and the breeze was blowing so lovely that it made me nostalgic – fall always does that, I think of uniforms (like the Cabrini girls) and lunch boxes and corduroy and wool and fire – something so magical about fall – anyway I stopped in and K was there and I looked over the bathrooms…
Last night before I picked up G to go to dinner, I drove by the LaLa to get my mail and there were two hay bales of insulation with a can light sitting in the front yard. I called S to ask what up and he said he forgot them so I dragged them back to the back of the house in my high heels. And lo and behold my neighbor who shares the same…
