A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

A few nights ago, when my mom was in town, I ate dinner with her at a favorite Italian restaurant. As we were just finishing, a group of four came in and sat down: a girl and three guys, all of them about my age. After they ordered, the girl said, by way of conversation: "So I was at the doctor's office today and some gay guy complemented me on my Steve Maddens."

I've been complaining about this subject for the past few weeks: the presence of Christmas before Thanksgiving. Since today is, obviously, the day after, it is now permissable for you to put up those trees, wreaths, play your Christmas music, or whatever. Christmas has never been my favorite holiday; can't you tell? I have an incredible amount to tell you about what's been happening over the past few days, so sorry for the length of this post. On Wednesday I heard back from the HR rep at Penguin... Sign in to see full entry.
