bits and bobs: A random assortment of things; small remaining pieces and things
Please… If you are ever home alone and you find yourself picking up the phone to order a 4 pack of lip balm for $56.00 + $3.00 shipping from QVC… HANG UP and call a friend instead. Even if it’s like 2 am because friends don’t let friends over pay for lip balm. Actually, friends don’t let friends acquire more than 2 lip balms in their car without doing an intervention… but that’s a totally different story.
If you pack an old fashioned wooden potato masher in your carry on… the folks at TSA will want to investigate. And chances are they won’t give a flip when you tell them what you’re going to do it with either. Or have a sense of humor when your travel companion points out that it would be good to whack someone over the head with if need be.
Seriously? Are there people out there who think beans contain meat?
If I ever have a big barn, I want to make this someday.
Chino the Handyman stopped by the other day, remember him? I love it when old neighbors stop to borrow something.
Last year when I was on a spending freeze one of the things I really wished I could buy was a bottle of Clinique yellow lotion. The HH bought me one for Christmas. The funny thing is… I haven’t used it once this year. In fact I just came across it two days ago because it was hidden behind the sunscreen. I’ve been using all those free hotel lotions my mom gave us in her Christmas surprise boxes.
CLEARLY…. the person I share a bathroom with {cough, cough} has been using my lotion!!!! And that’s just wrong.
Please settle this argument for me:
The flat top sheet on your bed….
My husband {who doesn’t even make beds} says the correct way to put the top sheet on the mattress is to have the plain side facing down towards the fitted sheet and the printed side up.
I think the top sheet should be facing downward against the sheet so that when it gets folded over the comforter, you see the pattern and not the plain side of the fabric. But what so I know? I’ve only been making our bed for 25 years.
So which is it? Because CLEARLY… after all these years of marriage, we are still working things out and trying to function cohesively as a married couple.
