Tomorrow is the big day! The Writer is getting dumped. She is so out of it with this weather, I'm not even sure she'll realize what's happening.
This afternoon, I went in to The Writer's office to get her for lunch to find her chucking her computer mouse across the desk. She was throwing a tantrum because she couldn't figure out how to do what she wanted to do. I literally had to take control as if she was a child, demand she leave the office and get a snack and then usher her out of the room. . .if nothing else, I guess I can always be a preschool teacher in Boston.
I have the experience.

Zany Writer moment of the day:
I'm sitting in the "work room" while The Writer is wandering around the house/kitchen doing God knows what. Out of the blue I hear her yell to me
"You know I am not even interested in learning how to zip line!"
Unable to control myself I actually laughed aloud and asked if she was supposed to go anytime soon?
Her response: Yeah! It's like I'd rather learn how to jump out of a friggin' plane or something.
I waited, hoping for some context to enter this convo. Nothing. A few seconds later she went out for a cigarette. I'm pretty sure she's not going zip lining anytime soon. . .?
Just another Tuesday I guess.

In an effort to beat the heat this evening I headed to one of my favorite spots on the planet: Barnes and Noble.
I did some actual work and then, of course headed for the mags. I decided on French Vogue today and, as usual, wasn't disappointed.
Vogue Paris is so fascinating and has the most quirky ad campaigns sometimes. Here are some fun ones:
This little gem was at the bottom of an ad for Lite Coca-Cola in designer bottles
It says: For your health, eat at least five fruits or vegetables each day.
I have no idea how this connects to drinking designer lite Coke, but I thought it was cute.
And finally:
This was opposite an article excitedly exclaiming that "new" research shows that sun is good for Vitamin D, positive attitude, and if I translated right, could stall some types of cancer? Um, thanks Vogue, but I'm pretty sure that's still no reason to get burned to a crisp in the French Riviera. That certainly wouldn't put me in a positive mood!
