Things I Have Learned Today or how not to get your security deposit back

After Joe posts, I usually like to wait a few days so that his occasional contribution can bask in the glory that the top of the blog entails for at least a little while. This morning however, I have been graced with two life lessons that just begged to be shared.

1. If your dog, who usually sits quietly on the end of the bed while you do any number of things in effort to improve the mediocrity that is your everyday look, starts to whine, even before you get out of bed, do not say, "Silly dog, be quite I have sleeping to do" and ignore her. Rather, the appropriate response is, "Just a moment while I rush into any available sweater, I will take you outside momentarily."

2. If you have two cleaning products with very different purposes but very similar packages, store them in different locations. That way, there will be no opportunity to take the following photograph in your apartment.
