random friday
I'm all over the place.
And exhausted.
I'm starting to be less exhausted -- but I think the weekend is going to be exhausting.
Everyone is well - did I mention, earlier, that Youngest has a fungal infection in his throat and esophagus? that he told me the tubes in his chest felt hot and I told him to go get some ice cream? two weeks of flucanozole...it's from his medication...
The post vacation piles of crappe are almost gone - I am looking forward to K dealing with the wires and camera equipment in the living room, and if I can muster the enthusiasm today I will get the suitcases into the attic.
I've been cooking real Tuvalan food this week and the gang seems to be enjoying it.
Steak tonight.
I returned a couple of things at Old Navy this morning and bought..............wait for it........
SHORTS! which I said I never wear. But see...they invented these:
and, see, these, come down to my knees, are very lightweight, and, believe it or not -
are flattering.
So.
I am breaking one of my own rules. And wearing shorts.
I have been thinking of new eyeglasses too.
You know, to go with the whole new shorts attitude.
I'm going to go with my friend M to the optician.
(happy birthday M!)
I think I want some like this...
so I can go all Libeskind on yer asses. Or the asses of someone. Most probably my family.
And don't try to talk me out of the extreme eyewear.
My last pair made the sales lady happy because they flattered my face and looked good with my hair and I've spent all this time looking like someone's mother.
I don't really want to look like someone's mother -
I want to look like someone's ARCHITECT.
I like this too -
it's probably bad that Anthropologie has me on their email list.
Tomorrow?
Let's talk about yetis.

My very stylish blogging friend Karla the Texpatriate has glasses kind of like that. They look AWESOME on her.
And alas, I can't wear bermuda shorts because of my Popeye calves. And my cankles. But I'm sure they look lovely on YOU.
The shorts are cute, too. Everytime I put on pants/capris etc. at Old Navy they NEVER flatter. I may be willing to try these.
Peerfect, said I, and promptly bought them.
Sometimes, a person needs a stern appearance.

Love the glasses. Go for broke! I have the funky glasses, now if I could only get my hairdresser to stop making me look like someone's mother.
Love, love, love the shorts. I don't wear shorts unless I am going to the beach, pool or lake. But those, I like, I would wear them in public.
They eyewear, I bet you would look great.
ick about that fungal infection. that's gotta suck! :( but hey, at least he has a MEDICAL REASON why he has to eat ice cream, so that's kinda cool...hope he gets well soon!!
and, erm, hi :) (thought i'd end a sentence in something other than an exclamation point. but that wasn't technically a FULL sentence, but whatev. :P)
I like those glasses, you would look wildly hip (even more than you really are, which is already pretty damn hip - and deifnitely hipper than me, like that's some kind of feat...anyhoo) in those.
I hope Youngest is better soon.
I want new funky glasses. Must check and see if I've gone long enough between visits. (I alternate purchasing contacts and glasses. Just in case you wanted to know.)
And I walked past Anthropologie yesterday and SO wanted to whip out my camera and take pictures of the window displays for you. It's all about the shredded newsprint these days, apparently.
Methinks your boozums would stretch the pleats clean out of that belted vest. But it is a very pretty thing.
Sorry about the fungal infection - one hears about side effects but who would think FUNGUS?!
"I want to look like someone's architect". Love that line.
Love the glasses... and hmmm. They don't look like shorts.. they look more to me like shorter capris :)
I love Old Navy!
My experience with those of the yeti-persuasion comes directly from Tintin in Tibet, a wonderful one in the Tintin series.
Son #2 is reading Tin Tin in Tibet right now. (And he will tell you yetis don't wear glasses like that).
Yuck to the fungussy pipes.
