New Year's resolutions

Anyone who's patient enough to be my friend knows I can't stand the telephone. This year, my lovely neglected people, I promise to try harder to stay in touch. I'm going to indulge a little more in home cooking, and try more often to share the table with friends. We'll all be eating in a bit more, I'm assuming.

I figure it's been a strange and interesting year for Heather Mallick, who posted her resolutions at the Ceeb:
5.) I will stop buying embossed patent leather Italian Moro triangle totes and black buckled boots for a shiny life I do not in fact live.

Same goes for oversized clutch purses, ivory satin office separates and costume jewelry with grosgrain ribbon in the links. It's sad but factual: you don't have to dress up to write. Hairdressers have snaggle-tooth hair; fashion editors look pale, pimpled and wretched; it works for them.
So true. You need yoga pants, one of your husband's ming T-shirts, wool socks and a toothbrush. Though I wish I'd read this before I fell into Arnold Churgin the other day.
