EDITOR’S NOTE

Happy Sunday. Pre-Thanksgiving madness, we meet again. This is the moment when I start panicking about everything left to do, like book holiday travel (thankfully, I have this website), sift through stacks of paperwork (perhaps throwing “the lamest party ever” will help), and purchase holiday gifts. But not this year — I’m going to take a minute (à la Jonathan Bailey and Elmo) and get my act together. Or, I’ll procrastinate spectacularly by doing these things instead:

• Learn how to do this unexpectedly stylish, “curved” version of the manicure that’s evaded me since middle school. Fingers crossed, literally.

• Buy this legendary restaurant chain’s cheese grater, now available to the public. Honestly, I’ve spent too many years letting someone else decide “when” there’s enough cheese on my pasta. 

• Plan all of my holiday party outfits around the coat that’s been sitting in the back of my closet since 2003 — but has suddenly “reclaimed its place as this season’s go-to jacket.”

• Clear all the vitamins out of my medicine cabinet, and replace them with these…stickers? Here’s hoping they help me focus on the things I actually need to do.
