ten things i know to be true.
1. The best clothes are always in the stores when you have no cash.
2. There are very, very few tv shows worth staying up until 11 to watch.
3. People who think they’re quirky probably aren’t. People who are certain they’re normal? Insane.
4. The more seaweed and rice, the less I am interested in the raw fish.
5. Coffee after 3 pm is self-torture.
6. A quiet house is a beautiful thing.
7. A too-quiet house is a recipe for insomnia.
8. I need a new bed. They should have a bed lottery.
9. I am really good at remembering the most awkward conversations.
10. Very few people realize that encouragement is the key to about a million positive things in life.

Just wanted to stop by and say hi. I’ve been reading you when you post but have been very bad about commenting. Sorry! Have you looked at any beds from all the suggestions on that one post you wrote about it?

Hey Liz,
Nope… I haven’t had a chance with the funeral, et al, and I’m not really financially in a position to do it anyway. I just was dreaming and planning. :)

I’m going to steal this ok? I wish I had half the ideas you have; people might actually read my blog that way.

#10 is dead on! I find that I get much more out of my kids at school by encouraging them than by saying “you don’t get it” in so many ways. When you encourage that kid that thinks he is stupid several times in a row, he starts to realize that he actually CAN do this! I don’t let them answer a question with “I don’t know,” instead we will work through an answer together until they get it.
