perfect product

I ponder good taste. I am often times overwhelmed by the perfect taste of my friend Kirstin. She has the unique talent of being able to choose the absolute perfect product for any variety of situations. I benefit in that good taste, most recently with some hand-me-down jeans. I don't know how, but these jeans are the absolute perfect booty-hugging, leg slimming, comfortable waist, for a forty-something year old. I don't know how she does it, but I am so happy to be in her universe.

My girls and I are going to the movie "New in Town" tonight. It is set in New Ulm, though it was not filmed there. It it will be fun to hear references about our favorite post-Christmas shopping town!

oh and by the way K, you can't have these jeans back. I'm wearing them til they're lint.

musical muse

Lucky is how I describe my relationship with my cousin Lisa. I am lucky to be related to her because out of a crowd, many would choose her to be a friend. Lucky me. The charming thing about Lisa is that she has no idea about how fantastic she is.

Last night she and I saw the Mn Symphony Orchestra. We have tickets to a series of concerts called "Inside the Classics." It's very enjoyable and the people watching is a bonus of the evening. Explain to me how it is appropriate in January, to attend an event in a gauzy dress and strappy sandals. Oh, wait---it must be to display the ink up and down the calves, neck and shoulders. Two words; brrrcold and ick.

As I try to again wash that image from my mind, I will post the quote for today.

from Henry Miller;

Whatever there be of progress in life comes not through adaptation but through daring, through obeying the blind urge.

if it's monday, it must be madison

I'm driving with Pat to Madison today. He has some beezness to conduct tomorrow, and thought it would be nice to have a traveling companion--me. We will meet our good friends the Bauers for dinner tonight. Tomorrow I will use the hotel facilities and perhaps go to the mall. I could use a new pair of shoes...

Today's quote, from Proust;

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes."

hmmm...I'm reminded of Dorothy Gale from Kansas while typing the above:)

pondering phrases

I believe my blog theme shall be phrases.

I like to read nonfiction and am often inspired by a well written or casually spoken idea that leads to positive intention.

spoken by Abigail Adams;

"Great difficulties may be surmounted by patience and perseverance."

take care,

tuesday january 20

Posting my first entry on the blog Aly set up for me. Thanks Alybaby.

I write on the inaugural day of our new president, and ponder whether the hopefulness of this day will stay with all our leaders and keep the intention positive.

Pondering also the importance of sight. Foresight of which I lack, hindsight for which I tend to obsess, and actually seeing. Do you have to be visually adept to see what is important? Is the acuity of vision the measure of happiness? My recent eye surgery led me to ponder this perplexity.

However, I must close this page now for my eye is tired.

for now~~~p.
