Days before Halloween, Roy, my good neighbor, erected an hommage to fall to the left of the LaLa on the bayou. Everyone and their mama have stopped to take photographs of their kids in front of this installation. Here is a pic of Jake – in the background notice the renewed copper dome of Our Lady of the Rosary Church otherwise known as Holy Rosary: Today, I get several calls a building is being erected…
Today is the birthday of a unique 8 year old – I won’t be around to say happy birthday or help blow out his candles – but i still feel him in my life – and wish to send him cyber kisses and hugs and wishes. Happy Day, you beautiful boy!
I didn’t have time to read the paper but I caught out of the corner of my eye a front page article that suggested the St Charles Streetcar lines are back in operation – yee ha!! – another step forward.
I took myself offline for about four hours today and accomplished more than most of my multitasking manic days ever provide. Chalk one up for just a simple phone line and two human beings at both ends. Naturally, the to do list that awaits is still enormous – but I can cross some major ones off the list today. Phew. Next.
Today, I have too much to do and as Flower said early this morning I need 5 heads and 8 hands to accomplish it. Loca got her first post-op long walk and gets her stitches out today – maybe I can contain that bundle of energy with purpose on my part. Late in the afternoon, my mom is to come by for a brief visit – we need to sit down and schedule a regular…
I guess every four year old has a friend you wish they didn’t and J is no exception – when he repeats what his friend says I want to march over to the friend’s mother’s house and say could you curb your child? The latest has been “what the heck” – apparently J’s friend says this over and over. I told J this is not a nice thing to say. Tonight as I was walking…
J is going through this amazing brain expansion where he has taken to telling these fabulous stories – who needs books with his mind – today it was the bats that had been living in the chimney and were entering the house but a little baby dinosaur guarded the entrance and kept them from coming in but the baby dinosaur’s dad was dead and so was the mommy dinosaur and so we had to be…
My girls at large set a goal for me back in July – to have a man cook dinner for me by Nov 1st – at the time, this seemed like an impossible goal. I wrote them after Shanghai in September and said a man cooked a picnic dinner for me that was nothing short of extreme thoughtfulness – down to each little item in the sack (I’m talking about the dinner sack). Well I…
I was walking to the race in the cemetery on Sunday discussing relationships and paramours and it all made me get up this morning and decide to take action. I sent a guy I had gone out with a few times an email playfully criticizing his actions yet setting the stage for more direct communication should there be future interaction. I then wrote out a list of things to do and things to be when…
It’s not too far fetched that a dynamic woman such as myself – assertive in all things – would not state her needs in her love relations. I’m the daughter of an alcoholic and a rage-o-holic – what I learned best was to not need anything. And I learned how to cook, clean, not take up a lot of negative space in a room, and all those great things that kids learn in these kinds…
