10 Things You Learn When You're Home Alone

My wife is traveling in Europe. While I am enjoying the time alone at home, I'm learning some interesting things:

1. Brown clothing is best washed in the dark load.
2. We use a lot of water on the plants - Thirsty little things.
3. A fish can go days without being fed, apparently (note to self - feed fish)
4. There are many things I obviously don't remember without a reminder.
5. I really don't read the newspaper - I just bring it inside.
6. Absence (abstinence?) does make the heart grow fonder.
7. I will eat about anything if it is handy, doesn't smell rotten or look too fuzzy.
8. My dogs are neurotic and needy (another note - feed the dogs).
9. Things get dusty.
10. I like the bed being made before I climb in at night.

  3. I have been trying to forget our fish for WEEKS and they're still alive. When I pay attention to them, they die. Why is that?

  6. Kim thanks for the laugh this morning!

    My in laws have just been visiting and my mom in law wanted to plant a few extra plants in the garden. I near enough begged her to not do it. As is the horse, the cats, the hubby, the bed, the washing, the house, the weeds and the food all need my attention at some point in the day.
