Things I Really Should Have Known by Now
How to fold a fitted sheet
That there is value in watching traumatic historical movies like Schindler's List and Flight 93
How to style my hair
Left from Right
That my happiness is directly related to how much sleep I got the night before
Not to eat half a pizza in one sitting
I will go blind if I leave my contacts in for 2 month stretches
How to make bread from scratch
Not to wake my husband up from a nap under any circumstances
The difference between doing the right thing and wanting to do the right thing
Yelling at my kid doesn't make her stop yelling
My family members' birthdays
Check pockets for pens, crayons and chapstick BEFORE putting clothes in the washer
When I buy a plant, I sentence it to instant death
My credit card and my bank account live on the same planet
How to pronounce "aspartame"
More makeup doesn't equal more beauty
Yes, my butt does look fat in those pants
Deodorant doesn't work on the 2nd day
Telemarketers are people too
Never to pause channel surfing on Jerry Springer - no matter how cool the dwarfs look
People actually read this blog so I have to be careful what I write

By the way, I couldn't fold a fitted sheet if my life depended upon it. :)
And congrats on baby #2! Take care for both of you. Mary A.
And then there's the Martha Stewart method that really does nothing more than make us all feel inadequate.
I like the roll-it-like-a-football idea. It's slightly more elegant than my stuff-it-in-a-small-dark-space technique that I'm currently using.
Alas, Claiborne, there are scores of stories behind that last line but I'm hoping the people that I've offended will just stop reading the blog since I can't change my style and honestly dont' want to offend them anymore. It's always surprising to me what rubs people the wrong way - I guess I'm a callused beast.
Never change who you are and what you post. I think you're terribly awesome.
There's a quote from Dr. Seuss that goes something like...
"Be who you are and say what you will, because those who care don't matter and those who matter don't care."
My method? One set of sheets for every bed. Wash and replace in the very same day.
