Useless Information Is Sold In Bulk Around Here.

As always, I strive for my blog to be a place where you can rely on getting the answers to your most pressing questions. If you stick around long enough, you’ll find out the answer to some sort of question for sure because I am a wealth of information. 

Often times it is useless information, but it is information none-the-less.

For your consideration…..

Although the town of Sissonville is booming at 7:20am, the local post office does not open until 8:00am.

It is totally possible to use a whole box of kleenex blowing your nose and still have snot in your head the next week. Seriously, where does it come from?

When a floor mat disappers from your van, you will likely spend months wondering what could have happened to it.

When the hubby orders big, chunky, ugly floor mats for your van, you will most likely smirk and roll your eyes. When the ginormous storm of 2009 hits, you will be thankful that all the mud and dirt is being caught in those mats and not on the carpet. Then, you will most likely think to yourself, “he’s the man.”

I heard on two seperate occasions this week, that aluminum foil rolls contain guides on both sides of the box to help feed the foil. Apparently, this is not true for generic foil. I guess in the aluminum foil world, it pays not to be cheap.

Things that are common sense to to some will be seen as foreign policy to others.

Laundry, no matter how high the pile, will not do itself.

The words, “a little more than last time” as they relate to the highlighting of one’s hair is likely to transform said one from brunette to blonde in a matter of 12 minutes.

The child sitting beside my child at lunchtime has a direct bearing on how much lunch my son actually consumes.

Potty training has a lot more to do with “want to” than “I want you too.”  Tootsie rolls thrown into the equation can have a huge effect on “want to.”

A six year old will call you on it every. single. time.

The mere mention of a Coach purse will help lift your my spirits. (Just ask McDaddy)

If a potty training three year old little boy does not aim his gun, it will shoot the bathroom rug each and every time.

Arbonne Virtual illusion primer is a must-have if you have aging lines (ahem! did I really admit to aging lines?)

There  you go.

How’s that for information?

Great list! I love the potty training lessons. Having gone through it last fall, I’m very aware of the long process and the wet floors. LOL about the cause and effect with your son’s lunches. I never thought of it but several times an almost full lunch came home and was told there wasn’t enough time. Was time to blame or a certain someone…I’ll have to investigate.

I have to agree on the laundry thing, mine is pretty high and still won’t even do the first sock.

And on the aluminum foil, NEVER buy the cheap, you will regret it.

While your tidbits may be useless – I find them incredibly entertaining. :) Especially the potty training ones. Good to know.

Love this one…Things that are common sense to to some will be seen as foreign policy to others. SO TRUE!

My husband ordered ugly, chunky floormats when he bought me a new SUV and I LOVE them!!

I came across your blog from The Mother Letters Project blog. I know this is silly…but my daughter is in the Leelou Blogs cute baby photo contest and I am trying to spread the word for people to vote for her!! I need HUNDREDS of votes for her to even come close to catching up to the front-runners. I have been trying to figure out where to find hundreds of people, and I didn’t think it was approriate to ask Seth to post something so silly on The Mother Letters Blog (obviously), but I figured maybe all the people who helped with the project would be willing to go give my little Makenzie from AZ a vote : ) If not, that’s ok too. I am just trying to get creative and reach more people! If you’d like to help me by voting for Makenzie, please go to http://www.leeloublogs.blogspot.com/ and spread the word for others to vote as well : )

EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY THOUGH…I am also recruiting prayer warriors for a tiny little miracle baby named Kayleigh Freeman, maybe you’ve heard of her and are already praying for her. It was through her blog that I heard about the contest in the first place. Even if you don’t take the time to vote for Makenzie, please take a minute to visit HER website: http://www.kayleighannefreeman.blogspot.com/ and say a prayer for this sweet girl!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!!!

Sincerely,
Daniele Brown

PS- THE MOTHER LETTERS PROJECT is in NO WAY associated with this request other than the fact that I found your blog there!!

Now that’s a great list! I have a potty-training almost-three-year-old, and I’ve learned the same things about the process (actually, I learned the candy part the first time around with my 6 y.o.) I’m thankful my little guy is pretty motivated to learn.
