Wonder Woman gets a make-over
Tonight Wonder Woman decided for the umpteenth time in months that she was not going out. Instead she stayed home and finished the last episode of Scandal that ended with a Darth Vader-esque moment. Then she picked up her book and read. I am not sure why I [read: Wonder Woman] have become so un-super-hero-like these days – it could have something to do with not drinking – I mean I was supposed to go to a party tonight where everyone would be having cocktails and the truth is that standing around talking to people who are having cocktails when you are not just isn’t that much fun – really. The other night I was supposed to attend a birthday party where again everyone was having fancy shmancy gin cocktails and again, I just wasn’t in the mood – I preferred my book and early to bed.
My mood these days is all about chill-axing when I’m not working on one of my myriad projects – that is all I seem to want to do with myself when I’m not with Tin or working. And with Tin, well it’s always showtime.
So maybe the weeks when he spends the night at Tatjana’s are just recovery weeks for me and that is when going out just seems redundant to the nonstop entertainment I’ve had when I’m with him. Who knows – maybe it’s that I’m 54 and he’s 4 and therein lies the answer to everything about this complete reframing of my super hero status.
And Wonder Woman has taken this whole concept just one step further with a complete wardrobe redo – Wonder Woman has a new outfit and it is much more fitting as you can see:
So seeing how she is being much more practical in her super hero life, it all just makes sense that my fantasy life is filled with practicality as well. I took a break from my back-to-back episodes of Scandal to go over to visit with Tin and give him a bath. As soon as he was in the bath, he decided it was showtime – as usual – and so the shower curtain became the stage curtain and he donned exfoliating gloves and a wide-toothed comb to become Señor Walrus. Ta da:
Maybe this is all I need – plus a wardrobe change – to keep it real.
