oh boze...


hmmmmm what could i write about?

my two interviews in nyc in the next two weeks?
no...
how i almost went to jail for 30 days because i missed my jury duty day?
nah....
how i just got the most beautiful purse in the WORLD for my birthday/christmas?
no no no....


what it is i will talk about today is the fact that for the first time in my lifetime, i saw my grandmother in pants. PANTS.
now, babcia grew up in the 1930's/40's when it still wasn't totally acceptable to wear pants. i mean, in the states women were just starting to (rosie the riveter anyone?) but in europe, women were still basically expected to wear dresses and skirts. anyhow, this thought never left my babcia's head, and she has NEVER worn pants.
lo and behold, i came home this morning from the bank to quite a shock when MY BABCIA was wearing pants. pants. PANTS. i nearly fell down. no really... pants. babcia. what?

needless to say, she now has one pair of brand new pants to wear in the winter time. she also insists on wearing pantyhose underneath the pants. but whatever, the fact is babcia is wearing pants.

the end.
