Tuesday Tip O' the Day

Several years ago, Ande's grandma had brought out lots of stuff for the kids/grandkids to go through to see if they wanted any of it.

I LOVE "old school" stuff, so when I saw this book, I had to have it.

This edition was printed sometime in 1959. It's got a lot of great tips in it, as well as some stuff that just makes me laugh out loud. I recently decided that I should start sharing some of these tips, hence the "Tuesday Tip O' the Day". I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Today's tip:

"Plastic hangers are very ornamental and available in a variety of colors to match closet accessories. Designed functionally, with rounded corners, they are easy on your clothes. So easy to keep clean - just wipe with damp cloth."

WHAT? WHO ON EARTH CLEANS THEIR HANGERS???

Tune in next Tuesday for another tip.

7 Random Things

My friend, Cindy, tagged me on her blog. I have to tell you 7 random things about myself. So, be prepared to learn 7 things you never wanted to know didn't know about me.

1. I hate tomatoes but I love salsa.
2. When I was a kid, I could stick 2 pennies (side by side) in the gap between my front teeth. (Surprisingly enough, I never needed braces)
3. I am the youngest of my paternal grandparents' grandchildren.
4. In the year I lived in Ohio (during college), I lived in in 6 different houses/apartments.
5. A family cookbook that goes back generations on my maternal grandma's side has something like 28 different cheese ball recipes. (No wonder I like cheese so much. It's in my blood.)
6. I am currently washing the sheets that Puckey threw up on an hour ago.
7. My older kids are visiting their dad for the ENTIRE week this week, and I already miss them.

There, don't you feel smarter now?? LOL My life is generally so random, I had a hard time coming up with 7 things that weren't too 1) Gross, 2) Personal, 3) Sad, or 4) Embarrassing. (I'm sure there are other words I could have come up with, too.

Now I'm supposed to tag 7 other people. As is true to my form with MEME's (does anyone know why they are called that?), I will randomly choose 7 people whose blogs I haven't read before to participate. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

• Jenny, at Yet Another Blog - she's got some cool recipe cards that she posted. Someday when I get organized, I am SO doing that!
• Larry, at Larry and Hope's Motorhome Travels. Maybe Ande will get inspired to work on our motorhome some more...
• Darla, at Family and Flowers - she's got some great photos on there!
• Matt at Miller's Time Killer - he's a pastor, and he and his wife just found out recently they are expecting TWINS! How fun!
• Andie's Garden, at Happy in the Garden - she makes beautiful quilts!
• Christine, at These are Days! - she has four little cuties.
• The Collard Green Queen, at The Collard Green Queen. I found some great craft and decorating ideas on her blog!

I hope at least some of these random strangers will participate - that's how I met some new friends last time!
