</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Oh yes, the photo of moi. One of my oldest and dearest friends from high school, Lt. Carl, is the X.O (not of the SEALS though. Little Creek Base is also home to the US Naval Band.) of the School/HQ.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Carl plays a mean trumpet. He has played since before I knew him. He toured with the band <a href="http://www.phish.com/">Phish</a> in 1991. He's traveled the world and all three children were born on different continents. His wife Mary is a doll and a half! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">He knows how much I love to play dress up and obliged me with this photo op in his office. There is nothing like a visit with an old friend to make you laugh so hard your martini comes out of your nose! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I wasn't allowed to ride with Santa; something about Mrs. Clause, blah blah blah. I wasn't sure how committed Captain Matt was to my cause so I threw in an offer of cookies.

I carry a badge!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">xoxo Lt. lulu</div>lulu redstarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11035436835098544667noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051106714083820813.post-64158720266489517242010-08-16T08:04:00.001-04:002010-08-16T08:07:10.694-04:00The Little MermaidSo I'm at the beach with one of the Hens, 'GRACE', her husband, in-laws and THE EMPRESS aka my Goddaughter Tweetie Anne Tyler Smith. TYLER for short..whew! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-OLFrYxmonlNTTFiJxYUmUIGPiBhyphenhypheno89rgIUpgoYnRrnsKHtKMZTLSYqcqioFnzHHF2AFO3l75r6Un5Jb7667sxMOWHb7_DeqmydtKxwazX8kPk2bJI7G8YPQGCHQSMh6klgcrIEINlzJ/s1600/The+Little+Mermaid.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-OLFrYxmonlNTTFiJxYUmUIGPiBhyphenhypheno89rgIUpgoYnRrnsKHtKMZTLSYqcqioFnzHHF2AFO3l75r6Un5Jb7667sxMOWHb7_DeqmydtKxwazX8kPk2bJI7G8YPQGCHQSMh6klgcrIEINlzJ/s320/The+Little+Mermaid.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">She is about to turn 6. Going on 26. Precocious is an understatment. I road tripped 5 hours (usually takes almost 6...that is another story all in itself). I said my 'heys' and went about my usual routine: pop open a cold one and unpack. Tyler sat outside my closed door Here is the exchange: (programming note: I am her FAIRY Godmother hence EVERYONE in the family calls me 'Fairy'). go figure.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>Tyler:</strong> FAAAAIIIRREEEEEEE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>Me:</strong> Baby, I am unpacking.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>Tyler:</strong> FAAAAIREEEE I AM READY TO GO TO THE BEACH!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>Me</strong>: Well, then I guess I am going to the beach now. Quit yelling and come inside.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>Tyler:</strong> I didn't want to <em>intrude</em>. I thought you were undressed. (no lie)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>Me:</strong> No, baby come on in. Let me get my stuff and we'll go. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>Tyler</strong>: Fairy, I put on my polka-dotted bikini so we could sort of match. I have hot pink polka dots like your pink bikini.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>Me:</strong> Outstanding!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>Tyler:</strong> FAIRY....I lost all my front teeth! (shows me non-pearly whites)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>Me:</strong> Did the Tooth Fairy pay you a visit?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>Tyler:</strong> Of course! Twice last week!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">****</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After she lost tooth #1 I informed her that I was the Tooth Fairy's best friend. I have, apparently, got MAJOR street Cred with her now. So I got THAT goin' for me...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Later on the beach we are holding hands walking in the surf and later 'baking cakes' in the sand. She has on her blue "Blues Brothers" shades (prior to losing them in the surf) and having the time of her life. She told me a secret...she's actually a mermaid...don't let her know I told you.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>Being alone with her on the beach gave me clarity of who and what really matters in my life. If those moments are the only thing I am able to do the entire week then that 5 hour drive was so worth it! Since I don't have a little one she is the closest manifestation of raising a child I will ever know.</strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>Pretty Damn Fabulous.</strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>ox Fairy lulu</strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Happy Father's Day to all the mens to whom it applies. Being that it is so male-centric today I thought I would offer up a THEORY about the male species. Yes---they are a species unto themselves. How many of you disagree? see?<br />
<br />
Okay. It's simple...Women have XX chromosomes. <strong>Mens have XY chromosomes</strong>...<span style="color: red;">THEREIN LIES THE MADNESS....</span><br />
<br />
I have determined from a 17 year study on one particular Male and several ancillary unsuspecting <strike>victims</strike> participants in said study that the Y chromosome is responsible for an action or nonaction and a REACTION. To wit:<br />
<br />
First Example:<br />
Male walks into room wearing old, ratty "I'm With Stupid " t-shirt, gross jeans and flipflops in preparation to celebrate FEMALE's birthday dinner which SHE is making.<br />
FEMALE then poses the following : WHY are you wearing that to my birthday dinner? WHY am I making my own dinner?<br />
<br />
Second Example:<br />
Male says to Female: "You left that hat outside after YOU mowed the 3 acres. It has dirt all over it. I put it on the wrought iron chair."<br />
Female to Male: WHY didn't you just bring it in? WHY was it necessary to speak of this? WHY don't you pick up your $^&$#( newspapers each day?<br />
<br />
Third Example:<br />
Male says to Female: "I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat?"<br />
Female to Male: WHY don't you open up the fridge and look for something. <br />
Male: "I did. I didn't see anything.<br />
FEMALE: WHY DON"T YOU OPEN THE SNACK COMPARTMENT AND LOOK IN THERE.<br />
Male: 'oh...I didn't think to do that..."<br />
<br />
FOURTH EXAMPLE:<br />
Male and Female driving on trip<br />
MALE: 'Gee, we're almost out of gas.' *Says this as they drive by exit with 15 gasoline stations*<br />
FEMALE: WHY didn't you get off of that last exit for gas?"<br />
MALE": 'oh, I didn't see the signs."<br />
<br />
FIFTH EXAMPLE:<br />
Same Male and Femal driving on trip. Get off at remote EXIT for GAS...Male drives and takes a left. goes 6 miles and finds gas station. Sees signage for State Road which he SAW exit sign for 5 miles back on hwy.<br />
INSTEAD OF going back the way they came...MALE takes STATE ROAD BECAUSE.....<br />
<em>"Well, I'm sure it will run right into the Highway</em>. (MALE AND FEMALE have NEVER been to this spot-EVER)<br />
FEMALE to Male after <span style="font-size: large;">driving</span> 30 minutes: <span style="font-size: x-large;">WHY DO YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING? WHY DIDN'T YOU ASK DIRECTIONS BACK AT THE 'BAIT, TACKLE, GUN,BEER & BAIL BONDSMAN JOINT?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">WHY? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I would love to have other SCIENTIFIC feedback and commentary on a world-wide pandemic I feel we are facing! It is critical to our survival!</span><br />

This week I am the DOMESTICATED lulu. ugh.<br />
<br />
The heat index hovers near 100 with the sun shining. So, I am mopping my floors, vacuumning the carpets and rugs and cleaning tile. What a life!<br />
<br />
While I'm waiting for the floors to dry allow me to present.... My latest Fashion Frock ...I bought it in Chicago...it was a hit on Saturday. This dress is indeed an original from the '60s. I was channeling Jackie O. Or Phyllis Diller...I also bought a swim cap from that era...but that is for another post...it's a hoot.<br />

My Adorable Nephew, Angus, graduated with HONORS from Wesleyan University on Sunday. Although circumstances kept me from seeing him walk I am nonetheless PROUD as a PEACOCK! The boy studied architecture, drama, philosophy, physics, beer and other important disciplines these last four years! Time is flying waaaaay too fast! <br />
You can see what he's up to on the right side of my blog under "BRAGGING BOARD". He is so excellent. He is EVEN making noises of going to Austin, Texas for a bit to 'check it out'. Until then he'll be splitting his time in residence in Brooklyn honing his considerable acting skills and in Vermont defending his Park House Croquet Championship, with his Papa, while continuing to whittle down his golf handicap as well as being a gentleman farmer under my sister's careful eye and loving encouragement! He's such an underachiever...<br />

Actually, it is over Memorial Day weekend! This is totally throwing caution to the wind! Driving up with a fab friend, Jeanne Tardiff of Creekside Ferns Antiques from Roswell GA and other dealers that I do not know! This show is new for everyone going up, I think. <a href="http://www.chicagoantiquemarket.com/">The Show</a> is outdoors (pray for sun) and two days only. It's been mentioned on Oprah (I guess that's a good thing) and looks very good. So, wish me luck as I prepare for a crazy trip just a week away! <br />
