At first, you think 'Ugh, another kid thing'. But then, like magic, you're saying 'OMG! another kid thing!

OH SNAP! I love saying it. I love hearing it. I especially love hearing it when Bill Nye is saying it (brilliance!!). Here are the official rules of using it.

FAVORITE. THING. OF. THE. DAY. - Scarflette

So, my froworker (friend/coworker) Michelle came into my office last week to show me her latest knitting project. Not only did it bring tears to my eyes at its beauty and warm my heart, it spawned the creation of a new blog category!

I introduce you to the scarflette. Note how warm it looks. How perfectly it fits around your neck. The color choice and pattern are also quite delish. Position the buttons anywhere just for the style you want. My favorite winter accessory thus far.





Incidentally, as much joy as this scarflette brought me, my revelation of its greatness to mel created sadness. We have a history of me correctly guessing my xmas gift from her and she does not appreciate it. at all. As hard as she works to think about a good gift, I now work equally as hard to NOT let my brain solve for x. how was I to know that Michelle's beautiful project was the answer? So now i don't get it for christmas. But I still get to gaze upon its greatness. - von

The List - Handicap Stall Etiquette

Okay, I feel I may have alienated some readers (maybe there ARE some other than mel and von) with my last posting. But give it a chance, read it thru, and you'll see it was affirmatively actioned. :)

On a much lighter note, a post by fellow blogger Szu-hua inspired a new M&V blog category: The List. To start things off, here is my list of Public Handicap Stall Etiquette, aka places NOT to be caught using the handicap stall. Having an elderly or truly handicapped person waiting on you when you exit is an experience I don't wish on anyone. Except maybe my enemies.

In no particular order, here is the list:
1. The Library
2. Any theater playhouse or opera hall
3. Major chain restaurants that have an apostrophe 's', i.e. Applebee's and Denny's
4. At church, any denomination
5. At the Y

This list is, unfortunately, created from experience. Feel free to add to the list or share your story of handicap stall woe.
