Her hair often ends up in tangles, falling in her face and has generally been a mess all summer. It's not a new ...http://www.flotation9.net/sweetfineday/2008/09/15/a-new-haircut-for-fall/ an old friend, a new kitchen- September 17, 2008 One of my first jobs in the city was at Zoe, a popular restaurant in Soho which has been around for ages.

And this quarter I am writing a rather large check so it's definitely hurting (so maybe iphones have to wait).

Make no mistake about it, but I don't do any ...http://www.flotation9.net/sweetfineday/2008/09/10/i-am-not-a-cook/ feeling very fall-like today- September 17, 2008 If last week was like summer trying to eek out one last fling with a slew of 90 degree days, then today felt like a turning of tides. It was cool enough to wear a little sweater and the light drizzle and absence of sun made it feel even chillier ...http://www.flotation9.net/sweetfineday/2008/09/09/feeling-very-fall-like-today/ claudine and her neat Os- (Found September 17, 2008 ) Here's a perfect example of how Claudine differs from Mia: I took her to her very first class ever yesterday - the same class that Mia used to take when she was younger at the same school that she goes to now for preschool.
