- Margaritas from Mama Iguana's in Northampton are the best in the world.
- But if you can't get there then the Jose Cuervo margarita mix from Costco is pretty darn good too.
- Miracle of Aloe foot repair cream is fantastic stuff and will make your feet lovely and soft again if you've decided to wear flip-flops and sandals for a week straight
- Teva strappy flip-flops are the bomb.com and I ordered some before I even came home.
- Room darkening shades ROCK. I am getting some today.
- I sleep great and don't have any stomach issues when I'm on vacation. I went to sleep around 10:30 or 11:00 every night and woke up between 6 and 7 most mornings (hence the early post). I didn't need the drugs I brought with me just in case things went all haywire. I never even used my heating pad.
- I'm going to make socks out of delicious sock yarn I found at Webs. I'm not sure what I'll do with the fantastic alpaca yarn I got but scarf and wrist warmers come to mind....
- I'm not really sure what I'll do with the beautiful fabric I bought at the quilt store that went out of business last week, but I'm sure I'll come up with something.
- Northampton is a great place if you want to just be yourself. I wore mascara a couple of days, but I was completely comfortable wandering around makeup-less with dirty hair if that's how the day went. I wouldn't do that down here. Women look different up there- hair goes gray and people are ok with that. If you want to dress like a hippy and not wear any shoes, go for it. If you are straight, gay, transgendered- or somewhere in between- that's ok too.
- People in New England (or maybe it's just Northampton) are a lot more aware of the environment and what we do to it. It's a refreshing change. There are also a lot more local stores and local food eateries around. I've had trouble finding that in this corner of the world, but I've made up my mind to look harder.
- Apple computers are fantastic and so well designed down to the littlest detail and now I'm used to using one and keep screwing up my shortcuts on my PC. BOOOOOOOOO.
I will write more later. Now it's time to go back to work.
