Question of the day.

What is wrong with a night of fun and candy? A Halloween featuring only healthy treats is just plain wrong.

(Remember, fruit is nature's candy.)

Dear Escalade Owner,

Just because your tires would fit within the lines had you parked properly doesn't mean your car is a compact car. It's incredible to think that walking the extra 20 feet from the parking spot that would fit your car would actually kill you. Actually, you might have been better off taking two compact spaces; that way you could have saved an additional 20 feet.

Question of the day.

How do you get rid of the crud in your shower head?

I think it's from the hard water. I tried soaking it in bleach, then poking at the little rubbery holes with a toothpick, but the crud is still there. It only partially comes off when you dig your fingernail into the holes, but that takes a long time and sends little bits of hard water crud into your eyes.

Question of the day.

Dear Clothing Manufacturers,

Why can't you standardize your sizing and let women's egos fall where they may? I am sure many women are pleased to remain the same numeric size for years on end. However, I am not one of them. If sizes are any indication, I seem to be shrinking as I get older, whereas I would be perfectly willing to accept increasing girth as a byproduct of age.

Sincerely,

Things I want to accomplish this quarter.

• Swept floor.
• Clean toilet.
• Apple-cranberry pie, even if it's made with store-bought pie dough.
• Mashed potatoes with root vegetables, even if there is only one root vegetable, and it's carrots.
• Finish Christmas shopping early.
• Get a little something for myself for Christmas without making it seem totally selfish.
• Transfer rest of CD collection to iPod.
• Smooth job transition.
• Check up on my pal B, who is supposed to take GMATs this weekend. Either that or she took it last weekend. I can't remember.
• Get more sleep.

Oddly enough, none of these are "study hard and pass this quarter".
