       Happy Mother's Day to me, and to all women.  Even the one's without kids - 'cause i think ultimately this is a day about women.  

      my daughter blasted into town last night - literally.  She's a bit of a speed demon in her car, which worries me hugely.  But no motherly words of concern are penetrating very much - she just blithely shushes me with an "oh mom...."  

      So she arrives at my door looking very metropolitan (in spite her disdain for the city) in a short black (tight) skirt and black (tight) shirt and tall black (tight) boots.  Shrink-wrapped clothing - gah, i remember the days when i could wear the same.  Her hair is black and blonde - but not in the conventional sense (blonde hair, black roots).  Nope.  Hers is checkerboard.  Hair neatly divided into four sections of alternating colour - sort of a harlequin effect.  And i think i like it.  She's able to carry it off well.  

      Anyway, she also brought along a bouquet of roses for me, and a bottle of red wine.  And the best part - big hugs.  :-)

      Not a great picture, but for some reason i can't figure out how to turn the flash back on in the camera.  i want my own camera *sigh*.

      So then we spent the rest of the evening browsing the grocery store for munchy type dinner foods and some colour for my hair.  She's decided i need highlights - that this will help give 'depth' and make my hair look fuller.  Ack.  i'm just worried that it will fall out.  So this time tomorrow i'll either have great looking hair ... or be bald.  

      Today my son will be coming over (with a new rescued damsel in distress)  and will be cooking me dinner.  Hopefully i can get pictures of everyone - how can you tell i'm excited about all this!

      Okay.. off to get some stuff done.
