  4. ILLG... what with Bill Clinton, my sister and Coco Chanel, I totally missed Ogden.

    Here's a poem:
    The Abominable Snowman
    by Ogden Nash

    I’ve never seen an abominable snowman,
    I’m hoping not to see one,
    I’m also hoping, if I do,
    That it will be a wee one.

  9. Hi Meg! Yesterday was my husband's b'day too and I almost wrote a post about the things he and Coco Chanel have in common (tongue-in-cheek of course!) but thought better of it and stopped midway!!
