Two.”The life of a working woman: “You can have it all; you just can’t sleep.”Pets: “I can’t see myself bonding with something that will never be toilet-trained.”Advice to men buying gifts for the women in their lives: “Remember: ‘Good things come in small packages’ doesn’t apply to drill bits.”The war on aging: “Middle age is five years older than whatever age I am.”And the battle of the bulge: “God gave me this body. And every year he seems to give me a little more.”A YEAR IN HINESIGHT features never-before-seen humour, as well as favourite columns from Canadian Living and Chatelaine magazines.
