By 4pm the children and I were hungry. I brewed some diet tea and spoke softly to the palms and ficus plants. Everything was green and thick with anticipation. Pierre thought for sure that he heard a knock at the window. But, alas, nothing.
Somehow I managed to pull myself out of bed and change into my Stevie Nicks gown. You know, the one with the marigold ruffle trim. Fiona donned her purple glitter glasses, which may or may not have been upside down. Again, I can't quite recall. And we lay there in the bathroom—me in the tub and Fiona perched atop the blue-tile ledge.
It seemed like hours had passed, and still no sign of Frederique. At some point we gave up hope that he would ever come. It was just a shame that I had dyed my hair pink for the occasion.

this was amazing. perfect, actually. and i want more, too.
Perfect!!!! What a wonderful way to start off Monday.

I say keep the pink hair , it looks hot. But someone should tell Fiona that the purple glitter glasses make her face look fat.
...funny post -loved it!
Is it weird that I liked your story so much that part of me wants her life?
This made me smile so hard. Perfect for a Monday morning.
The cat is really too hysterical.
oh i would have loved being you waiting for Frederique...I love those pictures and your writing, well that's another story on itself.
what a treat, more please.
hilarious! ...and fabulous ;)
Ma Petite Bee, you are a golden god(dess).
My heartfelt gratitude for guest posting on my blog. You were awesome, you are awesome, you are the wind beneath my wings. Muchas Gracias, I thank you in three languages.
Oooh, honey...didn't Anjelica tell you? Frederique is in rehab and won't stop listening to Billie Holiday ~ which may compromise his recovery.
Martina gave up that door-to-door mani/pedi business and up and moved to Sedona to take up silk painting. We don't speak anymore.
It's good to see Fiona taking well to her corrective lenses. But when she gets to see you in all your pink-mane-glory why would she fight the vision?
You are glorious, mon ami!
I love everything you do, but this type of post is my favorite...smiling so hard my face hurts!
You've done it again. A brilliant piece of work!! hahaha
Completely agreed that this should be a regular feature. I don't know if it was meant to be funny, but I found it hilarious and spot on as the voice faffy fashion spreads would take if they had one. Looking forward to reading more...
Brilliant! I love it! And the photos are fabulous. I hope this is a reoccurring concept.
So Brilliant.
Baaa! love!
