...look forward to making a career of being a wife and a mother, too I can't wait to pack my kid's lunches, to pick out bed sheets with cute cartoons on them, to tie my husband's tie before work, to cook with him, to buy things for the house, to go to cheerleader practices, and to plan get-togethers...
Some have critters on them -- a snail crawling round the base, or a worried- looking frog leaning backward; one piece, Blind Sea Turtle Cup, 1968, is borne on the back of a turtle laboriously crawling its way across a sandbox.

Victor is sweet, but has a quick tongue; Lucano plays the role of the older man with charm, not smarm...
...flowers you sent on Valentine's Day are paying off and you need some audio candy to share with that special someone, check out the Lightning Seeds Sense. It plays like a soundtrack from one of John Hughes' eighties Brat Pack flicks--vulnerable and dreamy and above all cute. This is music for the alternative prom...
