An Apple A Day 03 August, 2006

Like the Fiona Apple concert I went to on Monday night, life has been interesting.  I went to the concert with my dear friend Alix (marvelous tickets and company) and it was a dolce evening.  The Wolftrap/Filene Center in Virginia is such a cool place for a concert because it is enclosed by an enormous park and surrounded by woods.  Perfect atmosphere for… the kind of people who would go to a Fiona Apple concert.  I’ve also been eating an apple every day this week, and I would recommend it to anybody.  I like Golden Delicious and the green ones – I guess they’re Granny Smith.

In other news, ladies and gentlemen – my mother has discovered the How To Be Dolce blog.  I don’t know if a staffer informed her about it, my brother told her, or she Googled my name for some reason, but the fact remains that she has, indeed, read the “Marie Claire” post from late June.  Her reaction can be summed up with a quote, “I think there was a focus on the frustration rather than the helping” – which was of course not my intention, and you all should know that if it were not for my Mom, I would be stranded (and not just on the side of I-95 in 100` heat).  Still, I will have to be careful about who I mention things to in the future.

My Mom’s birthday was August 2nd, and although my siblings are away at school in Connecticut and camp in Eastern Maryland, we celebrated the day quietly and will celebrate the woman in a couple weekends, when everyone is together.  Happy Birthday, Mom!
