I use Google’s Personalized Home Page. Yesterday I noticed they had a new option where you can select a theme. I opted for the Beach theme– yes, I am yearning for summer! The cool thing is that not only does it have a very nice clean look but it changes with the time of day. In the evening it’s night at the beach and the moon is visible. This morning I watched the sun rise and right now, the sun is shining brightly on my Google Home Page.

Take a note, hosiery manufacturers! Think about taking a class in branding. It is important that you put a tag in the panyhose themselves that gives the name of the brand. This way, at the end of the day, when I see that the pair I am wearing have no runs or holes and I can wash them and wear again, I can check the tag and make a note to buy more pairs like it. As it is now, I desperately try to remember the brand, fail, and end up buying whatever brand is on sale at CVS that day.

On Monday I went to Boscov’s and bought 5 pairs of NO RUN panty hose (2.50 each!). Does anyone care to make a bet that instead of running, these stockings will just form lovely, perfectly round holes?
