Strike a pose

This is the first rainy school day and remember no one drives here. It is all walking and bicycles. There is not even parking at the school. I don't know how the Italians do it, but they are still put together and looking fabulous. All the moms were in front of the school looking like a page out of a magazine and I show up with hair that is half dry and half wet. Literally half my head. Our power went out after I dried the left side and I couldn't get it back on. Looked a bit like a clown. So then I went to the bakery to get Matt's birthday cake. Very interesting pushing a stroller, holding an umbrella and a cake. I ended up giving up on the umbrella so when I got home, my whole head looked like a drowned rat instead of just half of it. THEN our neighbor and his wife showed up with the electrician and ended up staying for a while. The whole time, I'm looking like I've been swimming and I realized later my makeup is also a mess because I put in on in the dark. Ugh! I need some of this Italian "put-togetherness" to rub off on me!
