The blooming Jasmine is so strong and sweetly fragrant it practically makes your teeth hurts. And that reminds me, dental preventative work I’ve been putting off for…oh…decades.

The good news, it can all be fixed for under 5000 dollars. A dazzling holiday smile will be mine by Llamas. Who wants a root canal surprise? This doesn’t fit in well with any festivity.

International Women’s Day 2007

My friend, Olga, called to wish me a Happy Women’s International Day. I said a barely peppy “oh, thank you.”
Ah, this is not a big one here in the states but in Moscow, Russia, where Olga is from, this is a national day off! She said Russia satellite tv was airing very festive shows and men brought presents and did nice things for their women. It sounds like a cross between Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day, both of which are not heavily celebrated in old country.

I had no idea this day was anything more than a nod and a calendar entry.

So to all you international Womens, Happy Day to You!
