Lessons Learned – Or More Tips for Housewives
6 Aug
1. Do not make ratatouille when it is 101 degrees outside, even though all the ingredients are in season and on sale. In fact, let’s just say you shouldn’t make anything that requires the oven temperature to be set at over 400 degrees.
2. Men’s fashion magazines do not sell. Therefore, do not buy your husband a shirt you think is beautiful.
3. When you need mad money, sell stuff. Go through your books, pull out the ones you’ll never read again and take them to Half Price books. They take cookbooks, too. You could also take DVDs to Movie Trading company. A season of a TV series on DVD will sell on ebay.
4. When you are at someone else’s house, loading the dishwasher, be sure you read the label and use dishwashing detergent not dish soap.
5. Environmentally friendly cleaners are great. Except for green toilet bowl cleaner. I mean, literally, the toilet bowl cleaner that is green in color. It makes it look like you’ve got pond scum growing in your toilet.
6. Magic Erasers are incredible. They can get stains and scuffs off of everything. They will also take the paint completely off the walls of a cheap apartment.
7. When you are ironing and your clothes suddenly stop becoming wrinkle free, check to be sure the outlet hasn’t stopped working. Took me half an hour to realize that one.

A Young Wife
