You learn something new every day.

I learned a new word today: bricolage. It's making me happy. It means "something made of whatever materials are at hand, or a piece of makeshift handiwork."
The reason it makes me happy is this: All along, I've been thinking that my work and the decor of my home - and frankly - my sartorial style were mishymashy and random (or "eclectic" as nice people sometimes say). Much to my delight, it turns out that I am not mishymashy and random, I just enjoy bricolage - which sounds ever so much more creative and resourceful and French.
