Lessons From A Crazy Lady
December is flying by and barely allowing us time to enjoy our rotating Christmas tree.
Every week when I start writing my Things I Learned This Week post, I am reminded just how quickly a week can fly by.
Can you believe its already time to share what I’ve learned this week? Well, it is and I will.
Grab an ice-cold Dr. Pepper and pull up a seat. This was a great week of learning.
First, I learned that when fixing ice-cream cones, it is a good idea to drop a large marshmallow in the bottom of the cone to eliminate dripping, melting, messy ice cream.
Genius, pure genius! If I do say so myself.
Do you have any idea that toothpaste and an old toothbrush is an awesome jewelry cleaner?
Man, its no wonder I use a numbered list most of the time for this Tuesday What I Learned list. The whole lead in word thing like First, Next, Thirdly, and lastly is enough to make me crazyier.
Shoot. Let’s just try this.
- When finding a knotted chain in your jewelry box, drop it in a small bowl of corn starch and the knots will pretty much take care of themselves.
You. Are. Welcome.
- Before carting two twelve-year old boxes of old engineering books to the Goodwill, you should take the 27 minutes it will take to list them on half.com because within 12 days, you could make $174.00.
- Likewise, when someone invites you to one of those ‘cash for gold’ parties, you should go straight to your jewelry box and take out anything that you haven’t worn and don’t plan on wearing whether they have knots or not because within a few minutes of arriving at the party, you could walk out with $235.00 for a pile of gold junk or junk gold. However you want to look at it.
Crazy, I tell you.
- When making home-made chocolate chip cookies for McDaddy, you should probably mix the “liquidy” ingredients before adding the “dry” ingredients or else you might frig up a perfectly good batch of cookie dough trying to mix the whole mess together.
Martha Stewart, I am not!
- It is totally possible for five first grader Tiger Cub Scouts and two little brothers to stand perfectly, miraculously quiet during a live broadcast of the six-o-clock news.
I was amazed.
I suppose that’s enough crazy for one week. If you want to learn some more incredibly interesting stuff, head over to Musings Of A Housewife.
I love half.com! I have found some great stuff out there.
Perfectly still…really?
Good tip about the cornstarch, I will have to file it away for future use.

Wow – you have learned LOTS this week
I can’t believe I had never thought of putting a marshmallow in the bottom of an ice cream cone.
Awesome tip about the knotted necklace in corn starch…I had NO IDEA!!!
Melanie´s last blog ..What I Learned This Week
Great tips!
A word of caution about using toothpaste to clean jewelry…it will clean it very, very well, but it will also weaken the metal. I mentioned this to a friend once after she said she used toothpaste, and she said, “No wonder I’ve lost the diamond out of my wedding ring 3 times!” (Poor gal!!) If you’ve been doing this, don’t panic–it apparently takes a few years for the really bad stuff to happen.
