Rae, thanks [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. Actually I thought the movie Mrs. Weasley was OK but I'd always pictured her looking younger and rounder-faced in the books. The red hair was mainly what I was getting at; that and the ability to keep the youngsters in order with good humor.

Lush - hey, I was right? Mostly I just remembered walking down the street in Moscow and what the predominant trends there were. All those stalls and stalls of high-heeled boots - as for the black clothes, I learned about those very quickly. On my first day there I made the mistake of wearing a red windbreaker on the train and I stuck out like an ambulance strobe on a pitch-dark night.

As for me, I am a brunette - the thing people tend to notice about me is that I can sit on my hair; if I had a dollar for every time I've been asked "Have you ever cut your hair in your life?" I'd be - well, I wouldn't have to be stressing about looking for a new job. I'm not small or large; 5 1/2 feet tall; "average" really does fit me. Cute? Eh, more bookwormy. Glasses, of course. And I drive a station wagon, but only because it was handy for moving all my/our possessions in and out of apartments and dorms every few months. One day I'll have that bright red car...

As for cooking, Rae, I think you must have been spying on me last night as I tried to gently prick a pie crust that I was baking and somehow managed to shatter it into about 45 pieces. Argh! (The other survived, fortunately).
