For the umpteenth time this year, I spent this past weekend sick in bed. Now I could have used my housebound days to achieve something productive. On my hypothetical to do list could have been and should have been:

  • Write thank you notes for gifts received over the holidays
  • Catch up on the very think Book Club book for this month
  • Write letters
  • Cure the common cold and relinquish myself of a sore nose and throat

I did none of those things. Instead what did I do? I watched five hours straight of America’s Next Top Model. Yes, five hours. I got sucked in to the emotion, the drama, the heart ache and the beauty tips. For instance, did you know if you have a thin upper lip and can make it appear more full in photographs by sticking some rolled up tissue underneath?

Tyra is so wise.
