Do's and Don'ts

DO NOT:

• Get in the Express Checkout line (12 items or less) at Meijer's behind a woman on a Rascal wearing an I'VE GOT A COUPON FOR THAT t-shirt. 
• Read anything new by John Grisham, ever again. The Racketeer was the only other book besides [insert anything by Ann Rice] that I've ever wanted to throw away upon finishing it. 
• Purchase a Kenmore Elite Oasis washer unless you like having your clothes ruined by rust spots.

DO:

• Read The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman, including the book notes at the end.
• Watch the new TV series Fargo, based on the movie.
• Take a break from what you're doing right now, go outside and breathe deeply for five minutes.
• Try the chocolate-covered strawberries from Edible Arrangements. 
• When writing anything, watch the number of I's you use and eliminate them outright or switch them to you's whenever possible. As in: I will send You can expect an email update on this by Friday, June 27. Here's a bad good example of someone over-using the I's. And she should seriously know better.

• Listen to ZZ Top's LaGrange whilst driving fast.
