This is my son - SDS. He's 14. He says, "it isn't cool" to smile in photos. It's like a flashback to the old pics of my mother I have. I, of course, being the Mom, prefer a smile! This is the new haircut he got on Saturday. A nice compromise, I thought. He didn't want a haircut so I said how' bout keeping it long in the front and (as per school policy) short and off the collar in the back. So, this is what we wound up with.

I like guys that have that layered look in their hair but so far, SDS has not gone for this look. Hmm, maybe it is for "old folks" but it looks good on guys.

I had the funniest dream last night and have no idea why! Remember the Osmonds? Oh my, I dreamed Wayne Osmond was getting married - the funny thing is he had curly hair but with bald spots! And the woman he was marrying had tatoos all over both shoulders. How hysterical is that? And why the hell is Wayne Osmond in my dreams???

This is the tapestry I bought to hang over an antique buffet someone gave me. It's a "Lena Lui" and I am always drawn to her work because she uses alot of florals. And, of course, I think I should own any and everything with roses on it! I want to find a "bubble lamp" with roses on it to also set on top of the buffet. So far, the prices have been too high and I had to quit E-Bay. Some folks gamble - I spent way too much on E-Bay! So I closed the account and just "walked away." Now, if I could just learn to push away vanilla ice cream!
