Searching...

Here I am at Barnes & Noble searching for some inspiration and of  course looking at the cookbooks. I was initially looking for Italian cookbooks and ended up seeing the one from Julie and Julia "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" By Julia Child. I skimmed it only to see a lot of little writing and no pictures. Yes I am the type of person that needs the pictures otherwise I won't know if my food looks right.
Anyways after dropping an Italian cookbook that weighed 30 pounds I look at the bookcase across which was the wedding section. Wedding books, planning books on how to get hitched. I can't wait for my special day *imagining it*

So at the very bottom there were etiquette books and I picked one up that said "How to be a Lady". "A lady never dates out of desperation" Oh my goodness why would you?! "A lady never corrects others on their grammar". Wow I do this all the time, does this mean I am not a lady? I guess I shouldn't do that but I can't help to think that the person I'm correcting is going to go around and contintuously embarrassing themselves. Is this book for the women back in the fifties?
-Why are there so many etiquette rules and no one follows them? And should we?
My #1 etiquette rule would have to be "Say thank you"
 There are so many people who fail at this everyday. Not only at saying thank you but the other person saying "you're welcome" Both of these are essential things and should be used every single day.
