How Do You Take Your Mimosa?

I believe it was 2002 or 2003 when I changed the ruby red grapefruit walls in the hallways of my hovel to its current color that I've always thought of being a retro-harvest gold. Now I am reading about mimosa being the IT color of 2009. I've never been fond of mimosas as a Sunday morning drink. Though I always loved to go to the pre-holiday gatherings that my sister's neighbor M____ hosts and asks if I would like a MY-moe-SAW in his West Texas twang.

Eccentric?

Besides the use of the color red and cherry stained oak in home decor, Junk Thief shares with Diana Vreeland a penchant for freshly ironed paper money. Spray starch can be used, but this must be done in moderation to avoid stains. It goes without saying that these are then placed in the billfold, all face up with smaller denominations of bills in the front, larger in the back. Stacking of cans or other repetitive behavior is often an early sign of autism. In Junk Thief's family, there is a consistent pattern of children from ages nine months to 32 months of naming the cans and preferring to play with them instead of dolls or other toys. Spice cans were a favorite. No stacking was involved because each can was an individual and needed its personal space.
