My Mama Told Me

Very true things my mother has taught me:

• You should always have something in your closet that you can wear to a funeral, because that’s a terrible time to have to shop.
• You won’t stop feeling sick until you take a shower, put on real clothes and walk around some.
• Cottage cheese in lasagna is an unforgivable sin.
• Clean sheets are one of life’s greatest simple pleasures.
• It’s never too late to love something you were once terrified of.

The advantage of being a blog slacker is that, eventually, other people will cover most of the stuff you’ve missed. And so it’s not really necessary to tell you any more about the gorgeous November Rock-n-Romp, because it’s been so aptly detailed here. And with such great photo documentation and a lovely post by Stacey, plus RJA’s column, there’s really not much more to say about Ravioli Day 2009. And everything I just said right here? Well, Stephanie already beat me to it. The only other thing I can think of to discuss is just how impossibly beautiful the fall weather has been lately, and even with that, I think a picture is worth more than my 1,000 puny words.
