1. If you want to read a book in the bathtub and have any chance of the book not ending up soaking wet, a minimum of three dry washcloths must be next to the tub.
2. If you have promised hot dogs, never start reading the label on the packages of hot dogs at the grocery store. Just close your eyes and grab a few packages, assuming that surely the ones you picked are perfectly fine and not disgusting. Not seeing the label is the same reason you can enjoy Sonic's $.50 corn dog days.
3. Don't buy anything to "fix up the house" until the house is relatively clean and orderly. Otherwise it's not just a messy house, it's a messy house with un-assembled shelves on the kitchen floor.
We talked about having shelves and a cabinet built in a little alcove in our dining room. There were shelves there; but they were basic and we just covered them with a curtain when we moved in. Putting away platters after Christmas, I reached my limit with the situation. Trent opted to not be involved at all, so I cleaned off the shelves and re-hemmed the curtain to hid only the boxes on the bottom. Going to the paint store to paint the backs to match was going to be a hassle, so I found half a gallon of coral paint leftover from our stairs.
We also finally found a spot for the bench/trunk built by Trent's grandfather that has sat in our garage for the past few years.
awesome! come do that to my house. but... warning... we have nothing cool to pull out of the garage. unless you include the old car tires - oh what am i going to do with those?!
