Do you ever just wish you were a French woman?

So gorgeous! But why do these women hardly ever smile with teeth?

Hors de Prix

Last night I watched Priceless

(French title Hors de Prix)

at Jessica's and my goodness is it a cute movie.

I love Audrey Tautou.

And the guy in it is so charmingly dorky and adorable.

I just wonder though if she intentionally
chooses scripts where her character rides off into the sunset
on a scooter
with
the man
of her dreams...
comme Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain.

Love

Today we celebrated Arlene's life and legacy of family and love. It was a beautiful ceremony and we got to spend a lot of important time with family.

Tonight I'm heading to Berkeley for Valentine's Day weekend to keep spending time with one very special person that I consider my family.

Also, this is inspiring work.

A-wa a-wa (Diamonds on the soles of her shoes, Paul Simon)

She's a rich girl - she don't try to hide it.

Diamonds on the soles of her shoes.

He's a poor boy - empty as a pocket.

Empty as a pocket with nothing to lose.

Sing Ta na na
Ta na na na
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes.
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes - diamonds on the soles of her shoes.
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes.
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes.
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes.

People say she's crazy.

She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes.

Well that's one way to lose these

Walking blues - diamonds on the soles of her shoes.

She was physically forgotten

but then she slipped into my pocket

With my car keys.

She said,

"You've taken me for granted because I please you - wearing these

diamonds."

And I could say Oooooooooo ooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooo,
As if everybody knows what I'm talking about.
As if everybody here would know exactly what I was talking about.
Talking about diamonds on the soles of her shoes.

She makes the sign of a teaspoon.

He makes the sign of a wave.

The poor boy changes clothes and puts on after-shave,

To compensate for his ordinary shoes,

And she said, "Honey, take me dancing!"

But they ended up by sleeping in a doorway,

By the bodegas and the lights on

Upper Broadway,

Wearing diamonds on the soles of their shoes,

And I could say Oooooooooo ooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooo,
As if everybody knows what I'm talking about.
As if everybody here would know exactly what I was talking about.
Talking about diamonds on the soles of her shoes.

People say I'm crazy.
I got diamonds on the soles of my shoes.
Well that's one way to lose these
Walking blues - diamonds on the soles of my shoes.

We love you, Arlene.

I'm finding that I can't express myself as well as I wish I could right now. My Aunt Arlene died very early this morning. My mom wrote a beautiful post for her.
