Sometimes I have to stand back and laugh at the absurdity and oddity of my life. Here’s a quick snapshot of the last 168 hours (that’s 7 days for those who can’t do math;) )…..
USELESS FACTOID #1:If your washer is going to break down, make sure that it’s not full of water and your naughty unmentionables are inside it. That way your floor doesn’t flood and your sons aren’t sliding the cats across the water while laughing hysterically…..or the repair man doesn’t make strange faces at those items of apparel inside the washer…..(fortunately whips and chains AREN’T machine washable;) )
USELESS FACTOID #2: Getting rid of ringworm and/or strep throat is almost harder than getting rid of an ex, only more legal.

(it’s the cat who has ringworm)
USELESS FACTOID #3: I found out it’s easy to make dolls for my Etsy store and they are the most popular items!
USELESS FACTOID #4: It is possible for a 9 year old to finish off a whole bag of (family size) chips and STILL be hungry!
USELESS FACTOID #5: Skype IS a romantic way to propose to someone…especially if your beloved is hundreds of thousands of miles away fighting in a dumb war.
and finally….
USELESS FACTOID#6: If you wait until (insert important event in your life here) to be happy and content, the cows will never come home (an American saying for those for those of you who don’t know) AND you will surely encounter A LOT of bull!
