 - 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"

 - 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
