1. A magic eraser will take sharpie marker off a wooden coffee table

2. A warm bath helps constipation (Little Lassie released a hostage in the tub this weekend, I was both relieved and grossed out. She hadn’t pooped for days.)

3. Vinegar cleans tub toys (see above)

4. Depending on the style of clothing, I can wear a size 8 or a size 12. Guess which one I prefer?

5. Husbands snore way more after having a few beers before bed

6. Baseball’s opening day makes my husband giddy

7. Puppies are smart enough to find a hole in the fence to get out of the yard and not smart enough to find a hole to get back in the yard. (I almost lost my sister’s brand new pedigree’d puppy today when I was on puppy potty watch. The darn thing ran away… then came back, but whined in the neighbors yard on the other side of the fence because he couldn’t get to us.)

8. After the low fuel light comes on in my car, I have at least 20 minutes of driving left in my tank

9. Negligent parents that blame their poor parenting on society or the health care system may not deserve to raise their children

10. My braille reading is rusty, so I read it like a second grader. I find myself sounding out simple words which makes the reading surprisingly delightful- each sentence I read feels like I’m opening a present.
