fOrgot

to tell you a secret:
I got complimented in my nailbeds the other day (these things that hold the nail on your fingers and surround them, in case you never thaught about nailbeds before).
it went like this: "your nailbeds are so beautiful. I wish my nailbeds would look like this"

I was quite embarressed. Don't know why.

hOw tO..behave

sO. again.
Yesterday we were invited by our friend Clarine (Merci, Clarine!) to an Intimate Dinner. Sure, I thought, I love intimate dinners! So we went to Park Avenue, took the elevator to the Penthouse and ended up..at the Appartment of the Swiss Consul General and his lovely friend Michel. I brought flowers because I am polite, handed them over to the maid (because maids are what you have when you live on Park Avenue..!). and off we went into the kitche.
..to learn how to cook lebanese. and: we did!!! Hummus, Baba Ganoush, Taboule. It was soo good!
Oh, and Mini Me was there, too. He arrived late, had no gift for the hosts, wanted to have dessert first and didn't feel like sitting at the table. Instead he watched cartoons in the kitchen with the charming chef and two maids who took care of him and fell in love with him. He ate everything they offerd him, even eggplant wich I know he doesn't like at all. So in his way he was very polite, too.
And after he had a lot (a lot!) of ice-cream, blew out all the candels, jumped on the sofa and knocked over a chandlier we thought it was time so say good bye.

Oh, and don't worry. This is not going to be a "my family and me" blog from now on. Just every once in a while.

On: what to make Of stuff

I think I've mentioned before that I really like New York- for various reasons:
the energy, Central Park, the feeling that there is always something new to explore, the architecture,the boat rides, the sea and now I found something new that I love: the people here!
I have to admit that I never really paid too much attention to the people that surrounded me on my various previous visits to the city. Maybe because I was too distracted by everything else that I just paid attention not to bump into anybody then to look in their face. Maybe because it's just different when you are here for longer and (slowly) have the feeling that you live here. With a kid.
BUT: I really like the people here! They are friendly, they pay attention to each other, they help each other. They look funny, sometimes weird. And they don't care. Also: they are very open and just talk to you if they feel like. Just to let you go when you've finished your conversation about..anything.
Ok. And they compliment you on things they like. Your coat. Your shoes. Your son (of course: my son. yepp!). Your pants. Your shirt. Your hair.  And: your eyebrows!
True story.  The other day a young dude walk past me, and said "I like your eyebrows". I still can't believe it. Really can't.
O, and you know that I have this little thing going on about eyebrows (just look left. or right). Still.."I like your eyebrows"?
Made me laugh.

Well yes.
sincereliest yours,
as always!
ME

ps: trying to think of a final Tracklist for the Album. Sooo hard! thaught this would be easy. it's not it's not it's not!!!
