Snippets

CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME
Where the cute clothes for fall are? Because all I'm seeing are 1. 80s throwback clothes that look sloppy and unflattering, and 2. same-old, same-old turtleneck sweaters and cashmere cardigans... good classics, but nothing that says, "Wow, is that new?"

STRANGELY SATISFYING
Was reading Men's Health sex advice for men. (An issue recently appeared in our house). After all the years of randomly flipping through Cosmo, it was nice to read something that made men feel that being good in bed was something that required intense study rather than just instinct and practice.

DOMESTIC GODDESS
In general, I try to do at least one productive thing each weeknight. Not that I'm Little Miss Do-Gooder, just that 15 minutes of cleaning does much to justify two episodes of CSI.

Tonight I was an overachiever, trimming viney bastards from lilacs, filing 7 months of bill stubs, scheduling the chimney sweep -- all the while reading 1.5 Glamours!
