Two public service announcements

1. Stop whatever you are doing and get thee a copy of "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" right now. Read it and love it.

In totally related news, I now want to move my family to Guernsey. Maybe I should tell Joe first.

2. Do not give yourself a poorly-executed manicure the night before you need to chop up a jalapeno for salsa. Cuticles will burn for days afterwards. Also, do not be tempted to forgo plastic gloves because "it's only one little guy and I can chop very quickly." This is a lie.

That is all the wisdom I have today.

But seriously, go get that book.

Dear Katie:

Um. Yeah. You're killing me. How am I supposed to live vicariously as the mother of a completely adorable (SO her mother's child)potty training toddler if you don't take TONS of time out of your (what I'm certain is an otherwise mind-numbingly boring ;) ) day to tell me how I'm doing? Seriously though, this is one of the most giggle-filled moments of my otherwise 'cubicle daily life'... help a sister out... ;D
