Classy Ladies
When one has a garage sale and is selling purses, one should be careful to remove all old items from the purses. Like the reciepts from a "marital aid" party attended two years prior. Lest one should come home to a phone message from Jane, the purse's new owner, saying, "Um, do you want the reciept for your sex gadgets back?"
Okay, she was much more discreet and polite than that. I'm just glad the purse went to someone I know who was willing to make that call. And destroy the evidence.
My daughter, it seems, is taking after me.
We spent the afternoon at Hartford Coffee, where she got into the whole boho coffeehouse vibe right away:
Nothing like whiling the afternoon away at the coffeehouse in a comfy chair, with a good book and a sippy cup of espresso.
This shot was taken before Clara "Hoochie" Jane made friends with two little boys. Jess, an older man at 2.5 years, and Ian, a cradle-robbee at 14 months, were all set to do my child's bidding. She may look calm and quiet in that photo, but don't be fooled. Five minutes later she was standing on that chair, leg flung over the back of it, barking orders to the boys. They brought her great riches in toys and books, bowing at her feet (with only one shoe, since she took the other off and flung it) while she squawked, shrieked, and laughed the most manical laugh known to the pre-pre-school set.
Demure and classy, we ain't.

But way too cute and adorable she certainly is. Good to see her getting into books - as a reading-addict, I definitely approve.

She's obsessed with books, Kirsti. It's great! She brings books to me and puts them in my hand when she wants to read. We don't go anywhere without a stash of books in my purse. In a pinch, she'll read magazines. Or the phone book. Or catalogs.

Its nice that after you sex party story that the only line to the next story is "My daughter, it seems, is taking after me." I clicked further..nice to know it wasn't that she was a sexual deviant
I'm in search for my local coffee house....should I be checking this out...We should attend sometime. I'll slip you some spices and everyone will think we did a drug trade in a coffee house.
