- At lunch, the lady on the treadmill beside me was sporting a shirt that said, "My immune system is stronger than your immune system." Judging by the fact that she sneezed 4 times during the 35 minute period, and I sneezed nada, she's a liar. And so is her immune system.
- I dislike Martha Stewart. I dislike hotdogs more. So when the ladies in the gym insisted on keeping the TV on the Martha show today, I gritted my teeth. When the episode was dedicated to hot dogs, I tried running with my eyes closed and gag reflex on lockdown. Gross.
- Either I am a total genius or just waaaay late to the game. Today I'm wearing a top I found at the Banana Republic outlet that is satiny and slippery, and I spent the morning adjusting it repeatedly. During one of the adjustment periods I found a snap sewn into one of the shoulders with a string and another snap attached to that. Anytime I've ever seen these contraptions I've cut them off. I mean, what's the point? Today, though, I wrapped the string around my bra strap and snapped it closed. Voila! No more slipping, sliding and indecent exposure. Did I just innovate a satin saver, or has this existed for 60 years, and I never knew?
- This month I've made 2 skirts and 2 dresses, and before it's over I'll have made 2 more of each! The orders are coming in :-)

Your first sentence made me laugh out loud!
Aha! I've always cut those strings off as well!! I bet that is what they are for. OR...if not, I am your biggest fan :) I'm so going to try that next time.
For the looooongest time I thought those little straps were to help clothes stay on clothes hangers, but I could never figure out how. My sis finally clued me in!
