THE CURSE

No not that curse. Gross, like I would ever write about that. No, I am talking about my curse & magazines. You see, whenever I fall in love with a magazine - they die. Okay, well not die but they stop getting printed. Just a few examples (yes this is a few): Martha Stewart Baby; Martha Stewart Kids; Martha Stewart Blue Print; Shop, Etc.; Child; and now, my favorite Domino. I am so sad. I LOVE Domino magazine. It has so many great ideas for decorating. I see you raising your eyebrows. Yes, I love a decorating magazine - even though I don’t own my own house. I look through each beautiful, shiny page and imagine how I will decorate my own house one day. I tag each page filled with a clever idea and keep stacking the magazines in a neat pile, with colored post-its peeking out - because one day I will copy all these great ideas and my house will look marvelous. (Did you say “marvelous” like Billy Crystal? No? Go back and read that last sentence again with a Billy Crystal accent. Thank you.)

So, I think what I need to do for the good of mankind or for the good of the magazines, and their loyal readers, is stop subscribing. Okay that’s it - I will stop renewing all my subscriptions and I can save the rest of the magazines I read. Whoa - I guess that won’t work, will it? Well, just wanted to say a tearful (okay no tears but I am pouting) farewell to my favorite and soon-to-be-gone Domino. Hope none of you catch the curse. No not that curse. Geez.
