Rice cereal is good for your complexion

Maybe it's no coincidence that there's Herbal Essences for shampooing your hair, Raspberry Rain for shaving your legs, and Cocoa Butter Moisturizing Lotion for after the shower. The beauty industry seems to be taping into an instinctual urge to lather ourselves with food items. It seems to be hard-wired into our nature at birth. At least in my experience, a baby can't help but enjoy a banana facial followed by a treatment of leave-in sweet potato conditioner.

I've aged a bit

A lot is happening in May!

Look what can happen in a month:
1. I'm no longer a twenty-something
2. I baked two loaves of bread, and with no breadmaker involved.
3. I'm becoming a stay-at-home mom for the summer.
4. My baby brother is now a lawyer at a large firm.

All of which is making me feel not exactly old, but not quite so young anymore.

Life Mimics Art

It might be a stretch for some of you to consider NBC's "The Office" a work of art, but I was struggling to keep a straight face this week when I was offered a promotion to "assistant department chair" with no significant pay increase or other tangable benefits. And like Dwight, I took it as a great compliment.

Hmmm...now was it "assistant to the chair" or "assistant chair"?
