Wide solemn eyes,
contemplating the chocolate bar he’s chomping on,
cross-eyed.
His towheaded pageboy tops an oversized
blue oshkosh hooded sweatshirt.
As he munches his chocolate bar,
he kicks his small feet in sandals so large
his toes are nearly invisible.
“When does the train leave?”
“Soon.”
A pause. Another bite of chocolate.
“When’s soon?”

A little boy, Japanese, barely bigger than his backpack, clad in a mish-mash of colorful prints I’m sure he picked out himself, accompanying his dad, weighed down himself in front by a platter of takeout from the sushi place. As the train bends and sways, the boy tips back, dad tips forward.

A black wrap dress, a b & w scarf at the neck, pearl studs, hose, & black strappy mary janes. I was overdressed, compared to the other female associates, which is fine with me.
I had kielbasa and mashed potato leftovers for lunch. With an apple. Sorry– dinner isn’t always exciting around here. At least the [...]
I have…
cut my nails and dithered over whether to paint them
swiffered the floor
dithered over what to wear
bought groceries for the week
dithered some more over what to wear
and

An assortment of things in my head right now…
I am enjoying the new/old chair with the fancy upholstered seat my friend L. re-cycled to me after getting a new dining set. It’s just the right height and depth for sitting at the table with my legs up on the chair across from me, while [...]
I have posted before about the fact that I don’t watch a lot of TV, having not grown up with any cable, and having not been allowed to watch it during most of the day. We also don’t watch it because we were cheap as all get out when it came to buying cable in [...]
