A man's day-old beardface
Crumbs in bed
Sand in swimsuit
My blue wool socks
The much despised starched petticoats of my childhood
A pile of dry, but always inviting, autumn leaves
The plastic thread used for sewing clothes tags that scratch the nape of my neck
Rose bushes
My throat one day before a cold settles in
My bodywash salt scrub
Chicken pox
A green couch from my childhood made of some material that made my legs itch
Hangnails
Roof shingles

Quote of the day: She was upstairs flogging herself through the homestretch of Christmas prep. - Franzen. The Corrections.Chosen because of the hilarious flogging image, seen through the eyes of a child who is at the mercy of the guilt-ridden mother compelled to put on the perfect holiday. You can just SEE the *eyeroll* of the writer.
