Wish Tip of the Day

By -
You know something you're allowed to wish on? Stars? Yes. Birthdays? Yes. Four Leaf clovers? Yes. Eyelashes? Yes. Boggers? No, that's just gross. But one thing you can wish on that a lot of people may not realize is time. Yes, if the time includes a pattern of numbers, such as 11:11, then you can make a wish. That comes in especially handy around here since lots of posts here are tagged with times that have repeating numbers. However, we're not entirely sure that counts, it might have to be what the clock say.

What would everyone wish for today if it was 11:11 all day? I wish my voice wasn't manly today. I sound seriously scary.

I would wish for another week before Christmas, so things wouldn't seem rushed & hurried.

I've got enough of it done, and I made quite a few of my gifts (miraculously, I had time for that!). This year I have the lovely excuse, "I just bought a house," so my family...well, my Mom & Dad at least...says they don't want me to buy them anything. Of course I'm getting them each something little anyway. :-)

I'm almost done shopping and I wanted to add that Jay says you are supposed to make a wish if there is a hair in your food.

Ah yes, Becca. This is true. And actually, I think your brother was the first to coin this as a valid wishing item. We decided that finding a hair in your food and being grossed out by it is completely societal. Hair is no more dirty that anything else, yet we've been conditioned to think so. So, Pete and I decided that if you tell your kids that finding a hair means you can make a wish, they just might not be grossed out by it!

Post-Run Tip of the Day

By Stephanie -
This is a tip for those who might run where giant swarms of gnats sometimes loiter by the side of the road. This tip stems from a run on the Mayan Riviera in Mexico, but I've encountered swarms of gnats in Virginia and Kentucky as well. After your run, always stop and look in a mirror before going into public. Otherwise, you might actually complete a transaction at the resort store and greet five people before realizing you have up to 15 gnats stuck to your face and neck.
