Today’s Merc included Dave Barry’s annual Gift Guide. Naturally, I went straight to the Web to get the full, uncut version from the Miami Herald (but I am very grateful to the Merc for the reminder).
As always, the items were both frightening and entertaining…and I think I may buy one of them for the Seder table.
I just finished reading The Modern Jewish Girl’s Guide to Guilt. As I’d said earlier, not all of the stories apply (or even appeal) to me, but the last one in the book, “Quitting Guilt” by Susan Shapiro really hit me.
Unlike Ms. Shapiro, I don’t have substance abuse problems — but I definitely need to do better at managing my own time and my commitments (both at home and at work). Sometimes, saying “no” is the right thing…even to oneself.
