WHAT'S YOUR LIPSTICK COLOR?
Yesterday I went by the drug store to get my favorite lipstick color, Cover Girl 550. I love that I can find the number of the color at the bottom of the lipstick container. It's a useful trick, let me tell ya! What color do you ladies wear?

YOU KNOW WHAT'S REALLY WEIRD TO ME?
That we have to eat every day. We can't live very long without a meal. For some, skipping a meal leads to blood sugar issues. Everyone gets hungry, even the anorexic. It's just strange that we have to eat. Yes, I have to go eat breakfast now...it's just weird, don't you think? LOL

TREADMILLING AND WATCHING HAUNTED HISTORY
This morning I've been on the treadmill exercising and watching an episode on Haunted History about New Orleans. Interesting stuff, though I don't buy their explanations. I have my own theories about what and who is haunting places...and it's usually not the departed dead ones...the Bible is clear...

TONIGHT AT MY HOUSE?
Family is coming over for din din. Nothing like last minute favors. I didn't mind. When my brother wanted to go out to eat, I suggested everyone come over here for dinner. Yesterday I stir fried lots of veggies and made some really good spicy peanut sauce. What can I say? Asian food is still among...

DO YOU WORK BETTER BY ASSIGNMENT OR BY SUBMITTING IDEAS?
I have to say that I would rather be given an assignment than have to submit ideas to magazines to get work. Query letters are fine, but quite frankly, I would rather use my time and efforts to get with a good editor and magazine (or website) that gives me assignments rather than submit tons of...

SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO TELL AN EDITOR TO TAKE A HIKE
So the other day I answered an ad to write for a particular website. I was excited about potentially writing on the country in which I was born, Morocco, but then the editor wrote back and said they would pay me $5 for two 500 word blogs a week! I was so disgusted that I wrote back and said, "$5?...

I'M UP WITH THE BRITS
Most mornings when I come to Blogit, only one side of the world is here, or at least those of you in England, India and Australia. The other side (mine) is usually sleeping. I don't get up that early, but usually I'm here between 5 and 6 a.m., which must be evening in England and other places on...

YEARS OF THERAPY AND FOCUSING ON PROBLEMS DON'T BRING SOLUTIONS
Years and years ago, I wanted to go to a therapist for fun. I was feeling depressed at the time anyway, but I was curious as to how therapy worked. I had eight free sessions and I took them. What I discovered was this. The therapists don't bring solutions. They lead you to making your own...

AFTER TWO WEEKS WITH CABLE, MY FAVORITE PROGRAMS ARE...
Two weeks ago yesterday, I got cable. I have 287 channels or so, and I admit I spend most of my time on the travel channel (50). I love three shows in particular: Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern; Anthony Bourdain in No Reservations and Dr. Mike in Bite Me. These guys are nuts and I simply love the...
