Day 4 of 30 Eye to the Apple

Eye To The Apple

Philomena gave her apple a crunch

one bite down, a little snack to munch,

But something didn't seem quite right
with this red orb, 

a sourness was afoot,

a strange flavor, that to this discerning lady, did very much off-put.

What a complete disappointment! 

Her diet now had a gustatory fly in the ointment. 

Was it a sign to eat a sugary sweet...

was her willpower really that desperately weak?

"No, I will persevere! 

My tongue may already be accosted

my hunger irretrievably frosted,

but with my sight this problem I must grapple."

She raised her glove-covered arm and put her eye to the apple.

Day 4. "Getting into Position" $25

Eek.  This day got away from me.  Bad night sleeping, errands galore, friends in from Chicago, dinner and concert, and me running home thinking, "I have to get that painting done before midnight."  Well peeps, I've kept the committment, unfortunately in my haste, I've got some shaky characters with a pregnant mom in kabuki make-up and some crazy letters from the wrong black marker.  What can you do?  The hilarity of this true conversation between two co-workers of mine, Shante--young mother of 3--and Ashlee--mother of one with 2nd on the way--deserves better.  I love having pregnant bellies around.  They're so much fun to rub Buddha-style.  Luckily these ladies indulged/indulge me.  Thank you, Shante and Ashlee, for letting me connect to your wee ones before they ever arrived.  Also, a shout out to my cousin Leslie and husband Scott down in Texas.  Congrats on your first child, Kennedy Grace.  Mwah!

Here's who we saw tonight--The Giving Tree--great band from Chicago!
