HAPPY HALLOWEEN

This morning on my way in to work I passed a guy riding his bike. His grass skirt was blowing dangerously close to his chain and he was using one hand to support the four-foot-tall wooden tribal mask he was wearing. Yesterday, I passed a guy in jeans, an REI jacket, and a pair of fairy wings. I heart Halloween.

P.S. Thanks to everyone who sent birthday wishes, cards, and gifts over the last week. All of them made me smile.

ANOREXIA PETRI DISH

Self magazine has a “What I Ate Today” feature where they ask some marginal celebrity to detail, rice cake by rice cake, what she’s eaten that day. Yeah… I’ve had sweet tarts for breakfast two days in a row now.

WHAT SAY YOU, MARTHA STEWART LIVING?

Excerpt from “Hanging Versus Folding”:

“After washing, you have two choices: to hang or to fold. Which is best for a particular item depends on several factors…Deciding when to hang and when to fold is only part of the job, however. On the following pages we show you the best ways to do both, so your clothes are ready when you are.”
