The sweet life…

10 August 2009 – 7:56 am

My mum and I share a couple of girlfriends - K and T – who love a good theme as much as we do.  So a couple years ago we started a tradition.  The birthday girl chooses a movie – and then we try to find a restaurant that goes with the movie.  Saturday was K’s celebration.  She chose Julie & Julia (stay tuned for the review); we chose a charming little bistro called “La Vie en Rose.”

A stroll along Main street led us to our destination …

Good food.  People you love.  Now that, my friends, is the sweet life!

Who says that?

Have you ever noticed how some people don’t have a filter?  Case in point: yesterday–at church no less– a lady came up to and the conversation went something like this … 

Her:  How are you doing?

Me:  Good.

Her:  Have you found a job yet?

Me:  Nope.  Not yet …

Her:  Well, I guess you’re mom will just have to work two jobs.

I laughed – a light, nervous laugh – because, quiet frankly, that’s where she lost me.  I couldn’t grasp what my mom had to do with me being unemployed.  And then it hit me.  GASP!  How rude! 

Considering we were in church and all, it’s a good thing I have a filter.  Most of the time.
