Did ya miss me? ;-)

* You know you need to wake up when you stop at a green light.

* Sleeping in is made infinitely more difficult when you forget to turn off the pre-set alarm.

* If you keep your kitty litter box in the basement, the cat will find it easier to use if the door to the basement is left open.

Greetings! Yes, I know, I normally don't blog on the weekends. Just wanted to warn you that I'm going to be without my computer for the next few days. Since I haven't yet figured out how to blog from my phone I wanted to give you a heads up that I may be MIA for a bit. To tide you over I'll leave you with one tip to consider:

* When sharing a caramel popcorn recipe with a friend, there is a big difference between 6 cups and 6 quarts of popped corn.

Conversation, Carton, and Call

* Don't get involved in a texting conversation when you've got tortillas cooking on a hot griddle.

* You should probably not vigorously shake the milk carton if it's already open.

* Texting your husband will do no good if he called from work two minutes ago to tell you he left his cell phone at home.

Feel, Friends, and Flight

*If you feel a lot of grit when shampooing your hair, you may be using your exfoliating body wash.

* You should probably make sure you're not on your husband's account when requesting old high school friends on Facebook.

* I cannot suggest wearing jeans with large buttons on the back pockets for a 7 hr flight, unless, of course, you want quarter-sized bruises on your rear end.

Cat, Club, and Clothes

* If you hear a rattling noise coming from inside the bathroom cupboard, don't immediately assume you've got a ghost... you may have accidentally shut the cat in there earlier.

* When ordering a book for book club, the graphic novel edition is probably not the one you want.

* Before starting the washing machine, you may want to make sure you've actually put a load of clothes inside.

When...

* When leaving the house, you should grab your cell phone *not* the house phone.

* When registering your child for the SATs, make sure he is available on the day you are requesting. When you realize there's a conflict (30 seconds after submitting said registration), you will be charged a $27.50 late fee.

* When your car refuses to go very fast, you may want to check that you didn't leave the parking brake on.

Bath, Button, and Brush

* It's best to remove your watch and any jewelry before dipping your hand in a hot paraffin wax bath.

* When already exhausted from treadmill walking at a steep incline, hitting the "6 mph" button instead of the "6% incline" button is not recommended.

* When chaperoning an overnight field trip, it's important to remember exactly where you put your toothbrush or you may accidentally end up using your roommate's.
