Some Stuff I Learned This Week
Tuesday is slowly becoming my favorite day in blogville.
It is after all, the day Jo-Lynne has designated for her “What I Learned This Week” carnival on her blog, Musings Of A Housewife. On top of that, it is the best night (in my opinion) of television. I love hearing Ryan Seacrest give his best dramatic THIS! is American Idol to the viewing audience just before a great night of singing.
This week’s What I Learned This Week will practically write itself because I have learned so much. I’ll do my best to keep it short and sweet.
1. When you find yourself running through the drive-through at McDonald’s and must eat your lunch in your van on-the-run, the junior cheeseburger is most likely a better choice than the big and messy, big and tasty. (McDaddy, I know you are rolling your eyes.)
2. When allowing your 3-year old to play in your purse during church, it is probably a good idea to remove the .07 ounce $24.00 tube of abreva first.
3. In the time it takes to read two issues of People Magazine, you can ride 6 miles on the exercise bike.
4. When visiting your elderly granny (like mine) you might find it fascinating that her weapon of choice against a would-be intruder is oven cleaner spray that she keeps right next to central command her favorite chair.
5. When the hubby asks you to run into the Advance Auto to pick up something, you should NOT, under any circumstances lay your fabulous fossil (leather) wallet on their nasty, greasy, dirty counter.
6. When you list the phone number of an irritating vehicle warranty scam company on your blog, you can expect a large number of hits on your blog from people who are just annoyed as you are.
7. When looking for cute shirts for a fashion post, you will have better luck if you use the word tunic in your google search.
And there you have it, kids.
Another week of great tips.
Thanks for stopping by Inmates.









Oven cleaner, huh? Does it knock out the would-be intruder and leave him sparkly clean for when the police take him away?
I discovered your blog over at JoLynn’s “Musings”. I love your title.. I also love American Idol, look forward to it every week and am a little let down when it’s all over.
ps. sorry about your wallet.. that’s a bummer.
I hate picking stuff up for Hubby at the parts store, it is always a disaster!
Oven cleaner spray? That’s hilarious!!! Get ‘em, Granny!
By the way, I left you a gift on my blog!
That is too funny about the oven cleaner spray!
I’ve heard of handguns, baseball bats, and frying pans, but oven spray cleaner takes the cake.
Wow! So much learning this week!
First, abreva: Is it liquid gold or what? That is so irritating!
Second: LOVE People. My Mom subscribes and she always knows that in the months before I arrive, she is to KEEP the People’s so I can read, read, read, while I am there!
Third: I am totally going to take Grannies idea for protection. That is smart!
My 18 year old LOVES the McDonald’s dollar menu. Heck, a teenage guy gets a lot for his buck there!!!
Oh no! What happened to your wallet??
You GO, Frances!!!!!
