I think the words &#8220;butter pat&#8221; are two of the nicest words in the English language. I once tried to convince a friend to get a &#8220;butterfly&#8221; tattoo that was a drawing of a stick of butter with wings. Hey, if she&#8217;s going to mark up her body, I might as well be amused by it.<\/li>\n<li>I believe there&#8217;s nothing that can be done now that shouldn&#8217;t be put off till tomorrow. Or next week. How about never? Does never work for you?<\/li>\n<li>I hate when adults use the word &#8220;yummy&#8221; unless they&#8217;re talking about &#8220;yummy Wendy Brandes jewelry,&#8221; in which case they&#8217;re forgiven. I generally hate it in a fashion context. Please don&#8217;t say &#8220;yummy cashmere.&#8221; I also hate &#8220;slick&#8221;as a verb, especially in this classic magazine usage: &#8220;Just slick on some Vaseline instead of lipstick.&#8221; Also, no one has ever been beautified by Vaselined lips.<\/li>\n<li>I tend to forget but never forgive. I know someone has pissed me off, but I don&#8217;t quite remember what s\/he did. When this happens, I ask <a href=\"http:\/\/wbjewelry.blogspot.com\/2007\/08\/happy-birthday-terri-berry.html\">Terri Berry<\/a> or my gorgeous friend <a href=\"http:\/\/wbjewelry.blogspot.com\/2008\/04\/ihog-gets-haircut-vicariously.html\">Alyssa<\/a> what I&#8217;m enraged about.
