There will be a picture post soon, I promise.  Until then, here are a few lessons from the past two weeks:

1) Wear flats when going to Catholic Mass.
2) Never underestimate a child's excitement at being able to melt things.  Especially colorful things.
3) Never underestimate a dog's excitement at being able to sneak into the kitchen and eat all of your tuna salad in the span of 3.7 seconds.
4) You can never have too many reusable tote bags.  This is especially true when you clean out your library and realize that you have 46 pounds of books to carry to your local book shop.
5) Cleaning out spiderwebs is a gross and creepy task, but it's best to do it quickly and not think about it too much.  This is actually true for most gross and creepy tasks in life.
6) Adding a piece of bacon to soup makes a world of difference.
7) Hide chapstick and hand lotion all over your house, car, and workplace, because you will inevitably think of it only when it is not in reach.
