It's Okay To Eat Cheetos In The Car, And A Picture Of The Dallas Marathon

Hello all,

Glamour magazine used to have a segment called, "It's okay to..."
The magazine would validate women for various things.
I do not know if they still have it.
However, I checked recently, and it was not there.

So, in honor of Glamour, here is my own list of "It's okay to..."
It's okay...

To not super size your meal, or choose the larger size, at any fast food place.

To not send Christmas cards.
(However, it is a nice touch. I love Christmas cards, and am not decrying them).

To send a Merry Christmas text, instead of a Christmas card. But only if you know the person pretty well, and you know that they will not be offended at your two-second text.

To not wear makeup.

To do what you want, on new year's eve.

To be gravely annoyed at any Christmas music, in any store.

To eat Cheetos in the car. While driving.

Fashion note: I have seen a lot of boots lately.
Boots are great, except not when everyone wears them at once. I feel strongly about this.

New and SERIOUS topic:
I do not know what can be said about the school shootings in Connecticut.
The link will take you to a story from the Hartford Courant. It talks about some of the victims.

I do think that two things are important: if you are concerned about this event, you should find out as much as you can about it on your own. It's better to be informed and educated, than not to be so. There has been a flurry of reporting, and some reporters and news shows seem to have gotten off track.
My suggestion regarding this matter is: do your best to find out what you want to know, on your own.

And, despite the fact that so many people--including children--lost their lives, everyone involved, including parents and close relatives of the children, needs to move on with their lives as quickly as possible. That is how they will best honor the victims.

Stay Christmas-y,
Alice
