Things I've Learned

During my Blogging hiatus of the past several weeks I've learned several things.

• Children's scissors may say they don't cut skin, but this does not apply to a three year olds hair.
• Applying sunblock is useful for avoiding a sunburn. Applying it everywhere but your forehead makes for a very embarrassing week.
• It is not possible to get into a locked apartment or locked car without a key during the noon hour. One must wait with a sleeping toddler on shoulder for office to open.
• Holding the cable cord in an exact position in order for you computer to have access to the Internet makes one less interested in blogging, commenting, or buying things on eBay.
• Seeing candid pictures of yourself in a swimsuit makes one not want to eat for a year.
• Paying $3.65 a gallon for gas is not fun.
• Having an Ipod Shuffle is fun because your audio book will drown out the screams of your children.
• Getting a manicure and pedicure is fun, but only if you own fingernail polish remover so you won't be forced to scratch off the polish once it starts chipping.
• When starting a new hobby (needlepoint) it's best to use the right kind of yarn so you won't have to tear out hours of work. It's also not a good idea to start 5 such projects without any idea of what you're doing.
• When house hunting speak to the realtor yourself. Otherwise you'll end up with a house with no yard, not enough bedrooms, but it will be great for commuting from.
