Who are these gorgeous women!?

Among the issues of living in a small apartment is the fact that we have inside walls in our bathrooms.  No windows.  The steam builds up and mold grows up on the ceiling even though we use the vent.  So once every couple months I put on my special just for this occasion clothes, empty the bathrooms out, and spray the ceilings with a bleach/water mix.  I was doing just that today standing up on the bidet to reach the corner when I made the mistake of looking over my shoulder right at the vanity mirror and a view of my entire backside.  AAAAHHHHHHHHH!  I have Kim Kardasian"s ass!  If I look at myself from the side I can fool me into thinking my jeans really are the same size they were when I was 16.  Alas that clear back view today told me another story.  Damn.  I prefer self delusion.

the crowds!

Govone Castle

Today we went to a Christmas fair in a town called Govone with a castle that's a UNESCO world heritage sight.  The road up to the castle was all lighted and lined with stands selling Christmas food and crafts.  Unfortunately it was VERY crowded.  There were so many people and the upper village is so small we all had to leave our cars below and take a shuttle up.  We had hot chocolate (Grace and GP) and mulled wine (me) and wandered around for a couple hours.  It was fun. We stopped for pizza on the way home so that I could add more inches onto my behind.  Heavy sigh.  xxoo me
