5 Little Lessons From the Past Week

1. Ranch dressing makes an interesting hair styling product.
2. Getting a new sofa is somewhat like buying a trampoline, at least from a kid's point of view. 
3. Most of the winter clearance stuff is already gone; apparently I should have started shopping sooner for coats, boots, and snow pants for next year. (Although to be fair, I scored some good deals, but I had to go to many, many stores.) 
4. There's poop on the carpet, and it may just stay that way. Logan totally freaked out when I tried to use the little hand held spot cleaner. Just the idea that I might turn it out had him shrieking and attempting to climb up my leg. (I'm not sure why; he's fine with the vacuum cleaner.)
5. When I put the dog out yesterday morning, she was practically ice skating on the sidewalk. Dogs do not like to ice skate. They would rather pee on the porch.
