Ode to Real Simple magazine

Installment #1 of my birthday present from Paul & Katrina arrived today...Real Simple magazine delivered right to my office! :)

Oh, the joy and delight I will have
reading it over my lunch break
with a simple cup of coffee
and a simple turkey sandwich.
Learning priceless, life-changing lessons
such as:

Q. Which of These Pants Is a Size 10?, pg. 155
A: They all are. A look at the elastic art of sizing clothes, and why a size 6 isn’t always a size 6.

The Well-Balanced Wardrobe, pg. 270

A Month of Dinners, pg. 290
(their recipes are aMAzing!)

As well as the very useful

When to dump a disappointing doctor, pg. 133

Olive oil? Yes. Butter? Not so much. How to choose healthy fats, pg. 141

Changing the world: a step-by-step guide, pg. 185

(I'm especially looking forward to what they say in that last one...)
And their experiments to find the best
bed sheets, vacuums, and frozen pizza.
Sometimes, a little bit of light reading
is exactly what one needs in the middle of a not-so-simple day! :)
