Monday begins. Taking part in that doppelgänger thing on Facebook and I am Talia Shire. Yo Adrian! Along with H and J, I watched the original Rocky movie on Saturday night. Snacked on dark chocolate covered gummy bears, courtesy of Z’s squeeze, along the way. Sipped on Riesling. Had espresso. Which reminds me - I need the strength, stamina and “no fuss” attitude of Adrian for the next few days. Alas - my Facebook profile picture for this week will be Talia Shire’s All-Italian-Girl smiling face. It will serve as a much-needed reminder of Rocky, The Godfather and the hilariously charming Jason Schwartzman. These are three things that I love about being Italian.
Z’s performance in the Talent Show took place at the end of last week. Beforehand, I was (for no reason whatsoever except for my overactive imagination) worried that maybe there would be the twinge of a hint that experiencing sitting in the audience while my daughter was on stage in this setting could easily turn into one of those Little Miss Sunshine moments so I was very grateful that H (Z’s daddy) was available during the middle of the day on Friday and would be going along with me. After all – if it did turn into Little Miss Sunshine revisited – H would certainly get up and cheer a la Greg Kinnear! Needless to say – the actual talent show and Z singing, alongside her pal Ross - Anyone Else But You from Juno was adorable and perfect. Flash forward to this upcoming week and I will leave my imagination out of it for now – there are play rehearsals, competition practices, trip plans, choir, intramurals, and homework. Very Talia Shire – all week long! Stay tuned - just like The Godfather, Rocky and Jason’s character in The Darjeeling Limited – it will be an adventure!
