Self Portrait -eek!

My eyes are funky.

New Dress

In the 2nd grade, we girls all wore poufy dresses, which became even poufier when we sat on the heat vent. We'd pretend to be pregnant.

What Grandma Brought

Face powder,
Listerine,

They Say It's Spring

The Poo Meditations

That's what I should have called this blog.


Let's just say a certain odor permeated today's morning meditation.
Why do I have dogs again?

(It was on my slipper, by the way.)

After the Walk

Trust Me

Vat ees dees? your guess is as good as mine...

One word: Tuna

I was cleaning out my desk at work last night. I knew my lunch bag was in there, I just thought it was empty. It wasn't. I think you see what I'm getting at.

I DID think I smelled something...a few months back.

Growly

I had a dream that I was this animal, angrily running around the house, and turning into smoke and slithering up the ductwork. I had to find out who had moved all the rooms around.

Joy that knows no bounds

Violet brought me a dry dog poo as a gift this morning....laid it at my feet. When I tried to take it away, she jumped on the bed with it.
This is my life.

Shaving

Once I caught Grandma shaving in the bedroom mirror
She was embarrassed and laughed.

Sunday Night Chinese

I love The Mandarin, it's so warm and luxurious, plus I get to be alone with Daddy for the whole ride here and back. I'm a little afraid here though, it's dark and adult feeling. There is a bar made of what looks like leather, fake leather I guess, and it's too tall for me to see over. I look at the front of it where there are designs made with upholstery tacks. The design in front of me is a martini glass.

Daddy talks amiably with the owner who brings our food in crisp brown paper bags, neatly folded over with the check stapled on. I'm so hungry, I almost can't stand the 40 minute drive home before we can eat. The egg rolls are not like the pale cabbage filled things you get today, but fat and crispy with whole shrimp inside.

Now I understand that we chose a restaurant so far away so that my Dad could be away from the house longer, but I still don't understand exactly why.
