 So I went on a bit of a shopping spree and bought some new clothes. But … short girl problems. Everything needs to be shortened. We use a dry cleaner/tailor shop that’s a 20 minute ride away.  I’m sure there are other tailors closer to home, but adres has been using this shop for decades … The shop doesn’t stay open late, so I can’t go after work.  I have to go on Saturday. Three weeks ago I drove to the shop but it was closed — annual street fair. Two weeks ago was the nor’easter and the state of emergency.   Finally got there last week.

"Big girls don't cry" was a line from the 1956 film  Slightly Scarlet . Give u...

 Rumor has it the Fitbit Edge will be announced and/or released Monday.  A tracker either a screen, with all the functions I need. I was very disappointed with the Sense 2.  It’s called a smartwatch but its functionality as such is limited.  In hindsight I would have done better with a Pixel smartwatch it if I wanted all the bells and whistles.  At the time I had an Android phone, so the Pixel would have been great.   But im liking what im hearing about the Edge …
