If Tin gets any cuter, I’m going to have to bite my tongue. As it is, he told us today, “I’m the handsome most.” This is on the heels of our driving to school and him saying, “I look good.” Tough life having two adoring moms.
We went from hand, foot and mouth to the dreaded upper respiratory infection and the persistent coughing around this house is enough to make you crazy. After a Re-Bridge committee meeting this morning, I just decided not to move as my body was worn out from coughing. Instead I read about running. My horoscope, again, was ridiculously spot on: November 06, 2011 Taurus (4/20-5/20) As this day goes on, you will be feeling more and more…
Tin and I went to the Music for All Ages brass band in Perserverance Hall in Louis Armstrong Park where Sunpie Barnes has taken a shine to Tin; Bruce sat Tin on his lap and played drums and then played piano with him while the band was belting out Lil Liza Jane and Jambalaya. Then we went over to Canal Place to pick up some lipstick and Tin said he wanted to go to the…
We had company yesterday, even the pizza delivery guy was company. Jeff, one of the owners of Crescent Pie and Sausage has opened up Pizzacarre and he, the owner, actually delivered the pizza we ordered, which was coincidental because a colleague and friend of Tatjana was in town and stopping by with her father and her daughter works for Jeff. When it was time for bed Tin grabbed the Family Book that friends gave us…
Yesterday evening I walked down to a friend’s house who was hosting a meet and greet with Clare Jupiter who is running for Civil District Judge. Her name alone is memorable, but she won me over by how she described her values, in talking about how she mentors young attorneys she said she emphasizes not the singular case but all the relationships involved whether it is the people or law or system or all combined.…
I’m focused on trying to get a company I know to do a major out of home campaign because I believe it is the way to make their name a household name. I’ve always been an armchair creative, and media buyer, in my other life. I love branding and I love building a company. I remember when I was getting married and took the name Dangermond, I said it’s a keeper. And I’m glad I…
A young man today in Lowes asked me where I “acquired the young boy” – I had to laugh out loud. He’s my son, I said. “You adopted?” I said yes, I adopted. And oh what a difference to me.
We fully knew that when Tin started going to school the germs would start coming home, at least for the first year and oh yeah, they keep a coming. Tin’s still got leper hands as he is shedding the remains of the hand, foot and mouth but now yesterday we all came down with the dreaded cold again. I threw a shower saver on the floor of the shower this morning and cranked the water…
Today I was schlepping some clothes from the front to the back and I had a moment of wistfulness where I felt like okay, here we go, what’s it all about Alfie? And then I recalled what we have been telling Tin – you want to spend time on the beach as a family then we have to make some sacrifices, and so I consoled my moment of wist. I was having a cup of…
The gym has been eluding me this past month and I’m busy as a termite in a wet wood, but if you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands! Clap Clap. We just seemed to have moved through the squeeze shoot and managed not to get branded and now we’re running free in the fields and tripping on the smells and light and sound. Hey, who knew we were prisoners of our own making?
