this week's lessons

• When attempting to break bits of chocolate in a glass bowl for melting, do not use the pointy end of a pair of scissors. It WILL BREAK THE BOWL, but more shocking is that I will be oddly surprised that it happened. (CLEARLY, I AM A MORON)
• Calling old friends to catch up is always a treat. One that should be repeated more often.
• Preschool starting up again after a month-long hiatus is PURE HEAVEN. For her and for me.
• Scrapbook stores are dangerous, dangerous places. Spending will happen; I will be powerless to resist.
• PMS is NOT a license to eat everything in sight.
• Exercise actually is better for said PMS than eating 40 pounds of chocolate. REMEMBER THIS IN 28 DAYS.
• Husbands can sleep through the children projectile vomiting in the middle of the night. A very mild case of alleged wife snoring will send them packing angrily to the couch.
• A clean house makes me oh, so very happy.
• The yearly cub scout Blue and Gold Banquet will feature the oddest potluck dishes imaginable.
• When waiting for a call from McKay that baseball practice is over, it always helps to make sure my phone is actually TURNED ON.
• A new pair of shoes can rejuvenate tired outfits.
• Favorite thing this week: Rediscovering The Royal Tenenbaums. Just a brilliant film. Netflix it today.
