Waking to my grandmother's hands
In this personal essay, writer Kim Moldofsky gives us a new perspective on coping: Two weeks ago I woke up to my grandmother's hands. It wasn't her gentle caress rousing me from sleep; rather, it seemed that her stiff, arthritic hands somehow replaced mine in the night. It was like the movie Freaky Friday in which a teenager and her middle-aged mom mysteriously switch bodies except I'm 35 and my nana passed away at 72. Like a curious infant I stared at my hands as I wiggled my unfamiliar digits. Where did these come from? How do they work?

Chronic in the Kitchen: Pantry raid!
There are nights when you just want something to eat that is quick, easy, and comforting. Nothing too complicated or involved, just a good, basic meal with no extra trips to the store for funky ingredients required. Those are the times I rely on my pantry and freezer, and I usually end up with a pasta dish of some sort. There are so many wonderful sauces and toppings that you can put together in the time it takes to boil the water and cook the pasta--usually 10 or 15 minutes or so--and these TWO recipes make great fast, healthy meals.

That is, according to her pal Dee, who nominated her for the Real Hot 100 award. The awards are an answer to Maxim magazine's annual Hot 100 feature in which it ranks women solely for beauty; the Real Hot 100 is hunting for women who are making a difference in the world. The Editrix is incredibly flattered to be in such great company!

The Editrix feels like crud today.
Yup, Crud. With a capital C. Mega-cruddy. Crap-a-doodle. Yucky. So I'm taking a day off of work. That's right, no work. No work emails, no work phone calls, no filing, no sending of invoices. No writing about concrete. But I am taking a short break from the couch and bad daytime TV to remind you that there will always be days when you just feel like crud and there's no getting around it - even the busiest, most well-balanced Babes need to take a day off. Here's how I'm taking care of myself today.
