As I am on break before classes begin again, I am using this opportunity to give the apartment some much needed therapy. Yesterday the kitchen was cleansed of grease demons and clutter. Today my office area was made lighter of a bag bound for recycling and some frames had to be rearranged. I was also going to go through the hall closet, but realized that would require going through the living room closet as well.
Instead, I took a nap and watched Martha's Homemade Holidays because I am suffering from holiday withdrawal. Or, rather, sugar withdrawal as I haven't had a cookie in two days after nearly two weeks of constant cookie consumption. (Slightly related, anyone know of a good book that gives basic fitness tips?)
More importantly, I know that everyone is chomping at the bit to find out the fruit of the year after 2005's Year of the Fig. And the winner is: the quince! While I personally did not receive anything quince scented, trend reports show that quince is up and coming. So if I say it, and then two more people say it, we have a trend for the NY Times Styles section.
