Things that make me sad:

1. All the middle-aged people on Facebook who claim I went to high school with them.
2. Logging on to my blog to see that no one commented today. Rinse, repeat.
3. Chin hairs.
4. Mysterious stains that ruin favourite clothing items.
5. Cutting myself shaving — especially around he ankle bone.
6. Forgetting to apply sunscreen and therefore running the risk of looking you-know-what on Facebook.
7. Spilling coffee on myself.
8. Spilling coffee on myself when I’m wearing a crisp white shirt.
9. Spilling coffee on myself when I’m wearing a crisp white shirt and I have a meeting later that morning.
10. Accidentally deleting something.
11. Accidentally deleting something I need for a meeting that starts in 6 minutes.
12. Running out of dental floss.

I have never heard of these – Lobe Wonder Ear Support Patches – have you?

They are designed to disguise the unsightly enlargement of earring holes and to protect healthy earlobes against tearing from the weight of earrings.

I have yet to see these in Shoppers Drug Mart but then again I have very attractive, non-droopy earlobes so I haven’t gone searching for a solution to my earlobe woes.

The Lobe Wonder was the brainchild of Joann Bradvica, a civil servant in Alhambra, California. As far as I can tell, her company is privately owned. But if there’s ever an IPO, I consider buying some stock.

Why?

Because I see these fashion plates everyday and they won’t be 24 forever.
