Night Driving

What is it about a new car that compels us all to just go..... driving?

And everybody wants to go riding with you.  Just, you know, riding around. 

It is so much fun. 

Wednesday night at around 8:45 I just decided to go out and drive the car around the inner loop.  Just to go do it. 

And so I did.   And I had a great time. 

I used to go out driving at night when I was younger.  Just to do it, to be doing something, to clear my head. 

I had forgotten how fun it can be,  just to drive. 

And the new car makes it really fun, too. 

I love the leather steering wheel and the leather seats.  And the dashboard glows violet, which makes me ridiculously happy. 

I think they put drugs in the 'new car smell'.  They make you take leave of your senses.

Texting in Heels

So I was on my way out of the Courthouse on Monday - walking along, black sheath dress, 4 inch heels, checking my email, minding my own damn business and I hear this voice call out -

"Don't text and walk, ma'am.  It's dangerous!" 

And I look over and it's one of the bailiffs who is working security at the Courthouse.....

First of all, I wasn't texting.  I was checking my email.  And the last time I checked, I am a grown person and it's not illegal to check your email (or text for that matter) while you are walking.  

And I thought "Who is this guy?  Does he think I can't work these heels?  Do I question his ability to use that gun strapped to his hip?  'Cause I know he's not chastising all the men walking out of here checking their emails..." 

I mean, maybe he was trying to be sweet in an ill-conceived Southern way, but I was ill with him.  

I just want y'all to know, although I may not be SJP, I know how to walk in heels and check my email at the same time and I've never hurt myself or anyone else while doing it.

The Crazy Years

If you love Paris (as I do) and you love the 1920's (as I do) you should really read this book, by William Wiser. 

There was a collision of art and politics and gossip and scandal.....  One war was over and another was looming. 

Coco Chanel was holding court - in Paris.   Really.  Chanel, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Dada, Picasso, the Duchess of Windsor, murder, parties, fashion. 

And Paris.....

Seriously,  get this book.  You'll really love it.
