cows .... they're not just for dinner anymore:
"The idea of using cows to cool passions in the park originated from another nature reserve south of Amsterdam, which saw an unexpectedly serendipitous reduction in sex prowlers after allowing the cows to graze in its fields."
they're for after dinner & before the cigarette. except not.
in other news, i am feeling refreshed from spa night antics friday night. what a clever & refreshing idea to get some women together who barely know one another! there were about 15 of us, from all different parts of stacy's (my long lost richmond twin!) life -- from her social work program at school, from her internship with the state, & from church. we were paired up with one another randomly & even that went remarkably well. sometimes women are just weird about that sort of thing, so i expected the worst but we definitely heard nothing but chatter & good things. one brow waxing, two paraffin wax treatments on my hands, & a deep-cleansing facial later, i was a new woman. it has been some time since i did these things & forgot how wonderful it is to be pampered as much. after a long rough week the tensions melted away.
coming back to raleigh, i dropped bliss off at thurston's & took a look-see at his place since i had mentioned to bliss my desire to move downtown. i'm starting to wonder if i am simply obsessed with the obscurity of it all or if i am just charmed by that downtown life. his circa 1930s apartment had high ceilings, huge windows with grand sills, hardwood floors throughout & something far more important ... character. the prices are decent & moving out of cookie-cutter north raleigh could be a step i'm willing to take next spring or summer.
& lastly, here's MY NEWEST VINTAGE POSTER DECOR which i now gaze upon as it embellishes my mantle. a shout-out to my friend jen, who's sister, melanie, originally framed this & left it when she moved to nashville. jen didn't care for it (what?!) & offered it to me. perfection of a confection, i tell you. it warms the cockles o' me heart just looking at it, not to mention the colors make me want to tango.
