Proud Auntie

Nemesis thinks she has the cutest niece, but I beg to differ.

My nephew is pretty cute, too. He really is the dearest boy. Not to mention my lovely sister.

It's a good thing that your nieces and nephews have dark hair, while mine is blond. That way they don't have to compete.; 12:51 PM

What's the blog title about?

In 2010 I came across a series of vintage booklets entitled "Amy Vanderbilt Success Program for Women" (copyright 1965) at a thrift store. I didn't look inside any of them: the titles and cover art were funny enough that I had to have them. And it didn't hurt that I got four booklets for 25 cents. My favorite was "How to be a more interesting woman." Who could pass that up?

A few days later I started to look through the book for a laugh, and found myself almost immediately absorbed by the author's wisdom and wit. She made some good points . . . she made a lot of good points. This was something I could use, for who doesn't want to be more interesting? And here in my hands was a surprisingly progressive manual on how to do it.

So, in my newfound quest to be more interesting, I thought I'd use this forum to try things out and reflect on my efforts. In short, I hope to become the kind of person that continues to flower and grow.
