Just So You Know...

It's difficult to walk backward in flip-flops.
Just speaking from experience here.
My neighbors might have got a good laugh.Those flip-flops are so cute we need another picture.
Without the feet.Target clearance.
Look at those owls.
Awww.

Soon it will be too cold for flip-flops.
Weep, weep.
They will be missed.

Oh, well.
No sense dwelling on the sad.
Time to go shopping for boots!

Tip of the Day

Before you mow your lawn,
make sure your ipod is charged.
If it's not,
you might use your pre-teen daughter's instead.
You will hear pre-teen songs.
You will not want to listen to these pre-teen songs.
But you cant stop mowing every 5 seconds to change the song.
(She has A LOT of songs on there I didn't know.
Daddy is in charge of ipod music.
And is very picky, I might add.)
So you listen to the pre-teen music.
Then you might even start to sing.
A little.
Then you might start to get a little spring in your step.
Then you might look around.
To make sure the neighbors aren't watching.

Then you might hear the songs in your head.
For the rest of the day.
And then some.

Baby, baby, baby ohh.
Like baby, baby, baby no.

Thank you, Justin Bieber.
You were very helpful.
But I think I prefer a little Jack Johnson.
Or Bon Jovi.
(Especially when I'm in the part of the yard
that I affectionately call "the wasteland".)
Or 90's Power Ballads.
Or praise music.
Or Ronnie Milsap.
Or Brad Paisley.
Or nearly anything else, really.
Just trying to be honest here.
But it was fun.
While it lasted.

Tip of the Day

I cleaned out my fridge yesterday.
There's a fun job.
I always find things I don't remember making.
Of course, that could be due to the fact that
they have a little bit of mold growing on them.
Unrecognizable.

So, here's my tip.
Be thrifty.
Or Mennonite-ish.
Or whatever your term is.
Save those empty sour cream and butter tubs.
Put your leftover food in those.
Then when you find that leftover food.
Growing in your fridge.
Months later.
(Don't laugh.
This is not really an exaggeration.)
You simply toss the whole tub away.
No guilt.Just don't think about the fact that
it is very unthrifty to throw out all that uneaten food.

Tip of the Day

If left to sit for 24 hours,
the excess milk in a bowl
with soggy cereal
will smell just as awful
as any other spoiled milk.
