Flypaper thoughts early morning edition

• Reading the best book
• Joy Emery's The history of the paper pattern industry
• Can't put it down
• Had me at "the tissue of dreams"
• Not many blog comments my husband said
• Maybe you shouldn't have talked about aliens
• Listen I could have got into the senior who is a guide at the Jello museum
• Or how my grandfather once had a drugstore up north called Gateway drugs
• Miss Scarlett said I should publish a book called True stories you shouldn't tell children
• The racoon hand was a present Birdie brought in and left under a cushion on the couch
• Talk about big surprises
• Am going to NYC Saturday for five days
• So excited
• This means of course that I have to make a black top today
• Looked in the closet and realized I needed more black if I was going to the big city
• Wore a favourite blouse into tape an interview at the radio 
• Journalist looked at me and said, "couldn't decide what colour to wear so wore them all"
• Listen it is radio
• When in doubt go cheerful
• But I do know a uniform when one is required
• Wouldn't dare go out in Tennessee without lipstick
• Reminds me to go to the uniform exhibit at FIT
• In my black top
• Being obsessed with fit lately too
• And hems
• Re-hemmed one pair of pants three times
• Wider pants are harder to figure
• Break at the shoe is out
• I watch TV and figured out that the pants that look like they need to be hemmed is important
• Even on men's suits
• Question
• Are they so long they bunch up because that's the style?
• Or because no one at home can hem any more?
• Daughter's friend cut off too long jeans and asked me was there anything she should do with the edge
• Said she seemed to remember there was something she should do
• Best thing about New York is the nice zippers
• Love having my niece in the basement
• Good to hear about tests being written and to remember all the time and energy spent on thinking about relationships
• Makes me glad that my own love life involves hearing about how someone can drive five hours
• With the mouse from his laptop out the car door and banging on the road
• And it still works
• Like us
• Now off to serge
