how to not buy a calendar each year

i was all excited when i realized i could use my free-from-an-estate-sale "four victorian photographers" 1968 calendar from the Met. my favourites are by Braun. this week i was disapointed to find out that only two months of it are accurate for our current year, as 1968 was a leap year. the pictures are still nice plus i also have a "memory jogger" from 1962 which works. being a mac user i depend on the good ol' ical for things i should really not forget about.

Grocery Love

Turns out the best night of the year to go grocery shopping is February 14th -- who knew? I know this suggestion is a little late for this year, but next year, save your grocery list for V-Day. Pick out a cart that rolls nice and smooth, and ride it like a scooter up and down the vacant aisles. The few people shopping with you will express either amusement or alarm; either way, you win.

(If you happen to be burdened with a significant other, this activity can also be fun for two people.)

It's What's For Dinner

I have recently rediscovered toast. My grandmother, disgusted with my lack of kitchen gadgets, has just bought me a toaster and now I am singing the praises of toast. It works for any meal. Or in-between meals. Lends itself to any variation. Voted All-Around Awesome Comfort Food.
