Today is a silly day
Nov. 18th, 2004 10:37 amI have a meeting from 11:30-1:30, and are gone at 2:30 to head home, take a PCHI conference call, and then head out to my cousin's for a hair trim.
I'm not sure what we're up to tonight, either I'm getting together with a friend or we'll be at goffee. I'd like to check out Dark Sky but at this point I don't have the energy or the extra cash for it. One more month - ONE MORE MONTH! :)
For those following at home, the multi-family building moratorium proposed in Waltham is getting closer to happening: http://www.dailynewstribune.com/localRegional/view.bg?articleid=44947 .
One of the women mentioned in the article was one of the dance studio Moms who I grew up seeing on Saturday afternoons while she waited for her kids to be done with lessons. I remember that when I was very young she was going to college and would bring homework up to the studio to work on while the kids were occupied (while the other Moms gossiped about who was wearing what, who was a bitch or not, or who was having the next baby).
It was funny to see the culture clash of sorts that resulted. Most of the other Moms hadn't gone to college and if they worked outside of the home they had jobs - not careers. I feel a lot like that at some family functions (its too difficult many times to explain what I do, so many think I have an "office job", whatever that means), and I'm sure I will if/when I go back to the studio. Its funny to see myself doing the kinds of things that the "weird" Mom did when I was a kid. I wonder down the line how the city may change and if the norm may switch to more more college educated Mom (and the less working-class Mom).
