Cupid has shot his arrow and now the stress of Valentine's day begins.  The hours you will spend pouring over the card section at Target trying to find the perfect card for your situation.  Looking for the card that says, I know we've only been on three dates, but I would be willing to have your children, but not in a stalker kind of way but because I think your mother raised you right and you have great hair but I don't want to scare you, so this card doesn't include the words I love you, I need you or forever but just that I'm totally into you but only if you're into me, if not than this is just a card.

Are you from Sconny?  Are you a NorDak?  Oh, you're from Chicago.  Well, good luck if you're new in town and it's the dead of winter.  I like my neighbors alot and I don't see them until the tulips pop up.  We tend to not be so Minnesota nice when it's -30 and dark at 4pm.  So, what to do, if you're fabulous and not from here or you're from here and want to branch out and meet some interesting people that aren't from the land of 10,000 lakes.  CLUB RELO!!

4)  Do sweet potatoes really need marshmallows on top?
5)  I do not like cranberries in a can
      I do not like them near my yams

Am I getting too old or is no one offering a trick anymore?  Last year I asked a little Power Ranger for a trick- he just looked at me dumbfounded.  I'm like, "what do ya got?, lay it on me."  Awkward silence followed as he looked back at his mom on the sidewalk- she yells, "say trick or treat and don't forget thank you!"  So, I thought I would flip it around, "how about I do a trick for you?"  "Do you want me to pull a coin from behind your ear? How about I wiggle my ears?

I remember the day vividly, I was at the grocery store- checking out the produce, feeling up the cantaloupe, knocking on the watermelon and popping a few grapes in my mouth (just checking the ripeness) - when a man standing next to me said "may I help you ma'am?"  Of course, the thought of going to jail for stealing a measly grape crossed my mind but I had my alibi all worked out.  He said it again, "may I help you ma'am?"  Who is this guy talking to?  It can't be moi?   I look around, no one else is ransacking the produce section- not a m

Gigi, I've read that grey is the "it" color for Fall.  What other colors will be popular this year?

When in doubt or not sure about a fashion choice, one way to address those perplexing fashionista questions can be answered by a Daily Candy Lexicon W.W.K.D.- what would Kate do?  Kate Moss would embrace grey but she would pair it with the hottest trends.

Gigi- I've never been to Glamorama, was it fun, what did you wear and who did you see?
