Memorable Day Weekend

It's a lazy day in our household, in fact I'm the first one up. The phone woke me. It was a girl asking for Mr. David, I said he doesn't live here. I wondered who it was but didn't ask any questions. It may have been a telemarketer but it was too polite to be a telemarketer with the 'Mr.' My marriage to David is long over and yet I have my suspicions about David. I wonder if he met this girl while we were married, he would have had to, with this phone number. Still, it could be a telemarketer.... At any rate, it doesn't hurt and I'm not that curious about it.

The Cannes Film Festival is in the news, all the pretty pictures of all the stars. They say you can never be too thin but forgive me for saying this, Angelina Jolie looks anorexic, poor thing. She is supposed to take a year off from work to spend time with her growing young family. I hope she regains her health. The other day, 'Girl Interrupted' was on TV and I recalled just how good she was in that movie. The other cast members were good too, but Jolie was an inspiration.

This is going to be a memorable three-day weekend. I love having a job yet being off from work. I am so grateful yet sorry for the Veterans and the troops, this crazy war.

The Black Wig Look

It is Mother's Day and my mother is getting older and she is far away. I miss her and hope that she had a nice day. I wasn't able to get through on the telephone during the window after lunch time and before dinner time, which is when she'll accept calls from me if she's feeling okay and up to it. I also refused to iron clothes or do dishes today or go grocery shopping. I guess it was like a regular day. Hahahaha.

I pampered myself yesterday. I went and had my hair cut and colored. I have a perm and the guy who did my hair had his heart set on making my hair smooth and he blow-dried it with a round roller brush. It turned out to be a big, huge bubble with frizz. On top of that he talked me into getting my eyebrows waxed so I looked a little scary until this morning when I showered and let the curls back in my hair and it doesn't stand out as much. All my life, long or short, I've had the black wig look. I still do. I'd like to let my hair grow gracefully gray but my son says it makes me look old before my time. So, I guess I'm stuck coloring it.
