Accents

So while I was on my road-trip to Sedona, my two sisters and I were frequently asked “so, what part of Texas are you girls from?” Now first of all, let me say I LOVE being called a girl. At 54, 58, & 61, we just don’t get called ‘girls’ often enough!!
Second, I have no problem whatsoever being accused of being a Texan. I have always thought they had charming accents (for the most part, a notable exclusion being W) so being asked what part of Texas were we from was amusing and complimentary. The highest form of that compliment came from the Texas state trooper who pulled me for speeding and thought we were from Texas and wondered aloud why we didn’t have a Texas inspection sticker until he saw our Virginia tags (my sister’s car). And he was a black man from upstate New York whose accent deep in the heart of Texas blew our mind!

Hrmm I guess my hair

I got my hair cut soon after I arrived in Hawaii (back “home”) and I got so many compliments on it that it just makes me feel really good. I think it’s definitely different and at least is something OTHER than what I usually have, medium-long layers. It’ll be even better when I get back to California, I hope, since the climate where I live is cooler and my hair will not feel so gross because it’s so short I can’t really tie it up anymore. I hate it sticking to my neck when the heat gets me all sticky and sweaty. Ugh.

My subtle change of style has garnered comments as well. I’m still into the jeans and slippers (flip flops) but I also wear flats now (not too popular in Hawaii) and I like certain tops that deviate from what I usually wore as my personal uniform when I still lived in Hawaii. That’s good, I guess. I don’t know what to make of this change – I just know I had to change in order to better fit in at my new school (I really look like a hippo among flamingos at fashion school).

me, really? thanks :)

“I felt like I was hearing a Hollywood star!” from the hostess at the hoot I went to. She was being very generous about my rendition of “Square in a Social Circle.”

We went to a new one Saturday night, and it was a whole lot of fun.

woohooo!

"Nice choice!"

I went to a very fun birthday party/blind wine tasting over the weekend. Everyone brought a bottle of Zinfandel and they were wrapped in paper and numbered, and we tasted.

The one I brought was ranked #1 or #2 by most of the tasters (out of 10 bottles.) I had a brand recommendation from a friend who’s more into wine than I am (I love it, don’t get me wrong), but I did select the “old vine” over some of the other options.

I don’t have the right vocabulary for tastings. I described it as a friendly complex wine you can hold a conversation with; it brings something to the table. Another woman agreed with me regarding the competition: “It’s the difference between dating a 20-year-old and dating a 35-year old.”

Hee! We had a great time!

You're a good friend...

So I’ll start right off with this morning.

I went to the gym (showered and changed afterward and was feeling great), then met Hydra at Starbucks for some writing and reading.

We split up for some errands, and when I came out of BevMo with a really great and unexpected deal on a good bottle of Zinfindel for tonight’s birthday party/wine tasting, two guys in the parking lot grinned at me and said hello.

I’m coming back from invisible. I attribute this to both the happiness I was enjoying and the extra notch I took on my belt today (three and counting!)
