An update on my recent pasta post…

Those stylin’ shells have been spied on the shelves!

The pasta packaging without compare was on display in a grocery store in Toronto.

Thanks for the pic! (I’ll take one of each.)

Okay, I finally caved.

After watching a fellow passenger color for three solid hours on a flight from San Francisco to Minneapolis, I bought two books this weekend and gave it a try.

It’s pretty darn fun.

This page is from a coloring book on Tokyo (which I visited in 2014). I also got one on New York City.

I would write more, but I think I will color instead.

Chelsea Market has displayed fabric wings on one interior wall so tourists can fancy themselves real photographers.

Works for us locals, too.

Chew on this

dental glasses

You know you want ’em…and you can buy ’em!

But you have to floss them every day, so plan accordingly.

Cheesy

As many grilled cheese sandwiches as I have eaten in my life, I can’t understand why I don’t own these yet…

I must be a part of the club, right?

(Probably wouldn’t wear them…but it’s the principle of the thing — ya know?)

Welcome to the dictionary, oh favorite exclamation of mine.

I can remember the perplexed stares of strangers when I first pulled out the phrase. Then I saw it on TV in a commercial for Discover card.

And now it’s made the dictionary, in the same issue with ‘hangry.’

If only there was a word for what an amazing week this has been….

Oh yeah!

Call me

Posted on July 8, 2015 | Leave a comment

Dear Time Warner:

Call me.

Ms. King didn’t enjoy your phone calls, and who can blame her. Your customer service representatives called her — after she explained that they had the wrong number — an additional 74 times to harass her about a previous client’s unpaid bill.

Now a court says you owe her $229,500 under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.

So, call me instead. I’m an actual Time Warner Customer. I even pay my bills. And I’ll only charge you…$1,000 a call.

BARGAIN.
