Said by Youngest in a small, squeaky voice: you know, mom, If you watch the movie `Jaws' backwards, it's a movie about a shark that keeps throwing up people until they have to open a beach.
Admittedly, he didn't write that, but I made him say it a few times so I could learn it.
Then Middle got involved: don't tell her stuff from the internet!
Apparently, I kill funny things from the internet.


I'm having a small hair crisis. There's very little blond left, which I am not unhappy about, but my last few cuts have been off the mark, somehow. I actually think part of the problem is my budget...or, my perceived budget. I think I may have to kick it up a notch and visit a more expensive salon. I'm researching, and, in the meantime, I still look a little like Richard Avedon...with a side of Kristy McNichol. In grey.


Youngest is working on his portfolio. I'm pretty apprehensive about his application but was relatively impressed with a drawing he did over the weekend. Drawing isn't his strong suit but he did a fairly good pencil sketch of Middle. I need to work on letting go of my need to control this process. (Don't I sound so psychologically mature? It's an act.)


Doesn't some spaghetti with cauliflower and speck sound good? I think we can get K to make us some.

I had a fabulous brunch in town with two wonderful work-friends on Friday.


 

And I'm eyeing the table we sat at. Another thing I'd like K to think about making for us.



Rustic.





Also still dreaming about these peppers we had whilst sampling holiday foods for our party.
It's going to be yet another kind of party this year - more casual. Wine, beer, sangria and tapas. I've eaten the food twice and it is just extraordinary. I'm very excited.

My Fair Lady was on television on Sunday evening. Have I mentioned that it is Oldest's all-time favorite film? Don't you find that somewhat fascinating. He explained, on Sunday evening, that he believes Audrey Hepburn is the most timelessly beautiful woman in the world. This amazes me.  I am really only just learning his esthetic and I like it very much.

I think I'll have some Black Sticky Gingerbread too, thanks.
