daydreams

I will live my life as a lobsterman’s wife on an island in the blue bay.
He will take care of me, he will smell like the sea,
And close to my heart he’ll always stay. 

I will bear three girls all with strawberry curls, little Ella and
Nelly and Faye.
While I’m combing their hair, I will catch his warm stare
On our island in the blue bay.

Far away far away, I want to go far away.
To a new life on a new shore line.
Where the water is blue and the people are new.
To another island, in another life.

lyrics from Ingrid Michaelson

Precious Ta Tas

I am really a marketer’s nightmare. I won’t buy for the packaging, name or campaign. I am not excited when sales girl says ” you look fab” or “I have this in 8 colours.” I have my own stubborn  mind, my own odd taste and a debilitating budget besides.

HOWEVER, cleverness makes me weak in the knees. Cleverness combined with humour and I am done. So I just had to buy this running bra called “the Ta Ta Tamer”  which promises to “tame your favourite girls without smooshing them down”.

Speaking of smooshing my favourite girls-check out my other site for my latest post -click here

Race

Yesterday my first born turned 16 and while all  boys and some  girls  on their 16th have only one thing on their mind – getting their driver’s licence – it didn’t even hit her radar.

My older brother  was in charge of “teaching” me how to drive – for him this meant pushing  his foot on top of mine on the gas pedal and flooring it- “Nance, you gotta know a car’s full power”. It was a wood panelled station wagon that seemed to go on for a block. Turbo.

He turned to the birthday girl and offered to teach her  ” assuming you are  like the rest of the women in our family  and think R stands for Race?”
