SUNDAYS ARE MY FAVE . . .

Even though it sucks to be home, I still love Sundays . . . a little Pilates, a tasty brunch (Perilla, yum), the NY Post, a couple crosswords, a bit of putzing about the apartment, a few conversations with friends, a good day all in all.

Also good was that I finally got a real facial yesterday. The kind that involves a bright light, rubber gloves and a lancet. Vivian at Skin Care Lab is an esthetician extraordinaire. But seriously? What a gross job. Seriously gross. It's one thing to pick at your significant other with a fingernail (which, let's face it, is heavenly). Another thing entirely to go at it on a relative stranger.

Also good was that I avoided buying a giant new Coach bag for $798. Even with my 40% off coupon, that's still one of those "can I REALLY justify the ol' cost-per-use theory for something that is plum-colored patent leather?" questions that doesn't require a lot of real thought, just a little self-control.

Not good? Still procrastinating on getting my like 2,000 photos transferred from memory sticks to the computer. Ugh.

Waiting for Fresh Direct to come to the door and for a big baked potato to come out of the oven. On that note . . .

The potatoes' eyes were full of tears,
The cabbages hung their heads.
There was tragedy in the cellar that night . . .
The vinegar's mother was dead.

(And, who knows what "the vinegar's mother" is???)

  3. Just wondering where you got the verse from. My mother recited it from memory the other day but couldn't remember the source. After googling vinegar's mother, I found that it is a blobby substance formed during the vinegar making process that is bacterial. It can be used as a culture to make new batches of vinegar. I guess, when it's dead is when it gets mouldy or something worse and cannot be used for fresh batches of vinegar any longer. Sorry to butt into your blog, but I found it when I was searching for the origin of that verse. Would love to know...thanks.
