Here are some things I’ve noticed lately:
1. McDonald’s $1 McDouble burger used to have two slices of cheese on it, now it has one. There was no press conference. There was no subject testing (that I was involved in.)
2. I am the audience to whom companies market wrinkle cream, eye repair systems, and “facial regimens.” As an educated woman I cannot, for the life of me, distinguish between the brands, the products, creams, serums, and masks. Seriously, can I just use Vaseline?
3. Over dinner the other night, while explaining to our children the value of education, we reasoned that “the more education you receive, the more money you will make.” Topher and I burst into laughter and couldn’t even spit out the whole phrase. At that moment nothing in my whole life has ever been more funny. That’s real comedy.
4. Sometimes I wish people wouldn’t always do their best. In some cases, I wish they would do a job half-way, but “do the job,” being the operative phrase.
5. I’m considering the fact that I add cheese to my Lean Cusine’s one of the many reasons I can’t seem to drop the last 15lbs of baby weight.
