New Desperate Housewives recap up at Television Without Pity (disclaimer: this is probably the most boring recap ever written, thanks to last week’s cold, which completely shattered my funny bone), also I updated my crafty pages with some more photos of the crochet Christmas trees. Also I’ve been doing some fun (for me at least) buy-buy guest posting over at Mighty Goods. Go check yourself! Before you wet yourself.
And then just now on IM:
Me: I just posted a smackdown on the Housewives boards for people using acronyms.
Me: OTP??
Me: Short for “one true pairing”?
Jill: What?
Me: That makes me want to stab my brains out.
Jill: OMG!
And finally: Is it true? Is it possible that I really am still coughing and hacking and sleeping the sleep of the reluctant dead, even though it’s a full two weeks since I first contracted this devillness? Apparently it very much is true. And now little sad Marco has the plague, too. And both the dog and cat are in a barfing rut? Our house is a barrel of fun these days — just a herd of animals snorting and snuffling and hacking and vaguely trying not to bump into each other.
another big idea

Here is a genius product brainstorm that I just had: How about a little face sticker that features zit-zapping salve on the sticky side, and then on the side that faces the world you get something fancy — a sparkly star or shamrock or big thumbs-up sign? So whenever you have a big, nasty, throbbing soul-sucker of a zit (as I do now, right here in the middle of my left cheek, the worst!), you transform it into a blinding decorative element. Because when zits like these strike, no amount of concealer or artfully placed hand gestures are going to cover that thing up. So why not embrace it? Go ahead and gild that lily!

I always thought that it would be painful to leave my perfect little apartment in the best building in the greatest neighborhood in San Francisco, but when I moved in with Marco last April, it was surprisingly, shockingly easy. No regrets! But then I had to go and read about a brand-new pie store that just opened a half-block away from where I used to live. Half a block away! Pumpkin, apple, walnut pies! Made out of organic produce hand-grown by cute high school students, who are using the whole process to learn about sustainability, meaning not only are these good pies, but that it’s all for an astoundingly nice cause? Ouch, ouch. I’m not kidding, it actually makes me a little teary.

Darling? Have you seen my brain? It’s full of money and tampons and lip balm?
