Let me spew my knowledge....

I was sad to hear the Ann Landers or someone like that passed away. Now I am scared that my vast wealth of knowledge will die with me when I pass! So, I compiled a short list of things that I HAVE to share with you guys.

Hold on to your wigs folks, this post will blow your mind;)

Hydrogen peroxide gets out stains. Blood, grass, cow dung, etc. Simply test it on a corner of a garment and watch the bubbles in it lift the stain up and away. Then wash as normal.

Use masking tape to hold the hem of pants up if you are too scared to commit to getting them professionally altered or to find out if you like that length. Another denim tip- when trying on jeans (I guess work pants, too) grab different types of shoes from the shoe section- heals, flats, boots, whatever you have in your wardrobe at home- and try them on with the jeans to see if you like the length. BUT, I guess some of you aren't freaks and absolutely petrified of your pants being too short. That goes back to a growth spurt I took and that is a whole other blog post!

Save CD covers in case you have a random first day of Spring snow storm. They will save your butt when you have all ready put away/lost your snow scraper.

If you have floor heat vents and want to add moisture to the house/office, put a metal can full o f water directly on the vent. the heat will cause evaporation, causing more humidity. My mommy taught me this one:)

Put a scented plug-in by the door of your place you enter most. Make it a scent you love and it will help you drop all your stress at the door.

Keep hand sanitizer in your car's console and use once you get done at a store. You don't want all those freaks germs in your car! Before it totally absorbs, run it over the steering wheel, too.

Don't be embarrassed to kick cans at a cattle show. I found two cans of black finisher paint and one of adhesive at the OYE this year. Then I paid it forward and gave to strangers. Minus the odd look they gave me, I felt good. And, I am slowly but surely realizing how great the cost of showing cattle really is. Insert a giant thank you hug to my mommy and daddy here.

Never pay to sweep out your car- do it with a cool Dust Buster like me. This one.............ROCKS!

Buy a fruit bowl! I got one three weeks ago and I haven't left the house without picking up a piece of fruit. One step closer to a healthier lifestyle! AND, I can play with the colors in my house because I am thinking of going with a green color .

Since I am addicted to candles, again- a whole other post- I hate it when my favorite one dies. Instead of buying a higher priced warmer, I bought a coffee cup warmer and it does the same thing for a fraction of the price.

Add cream corn to you Jiffy corn bread if you like it more moist. Follow the directions on the box then add between 1/4 to 1/2 can of cream corn, depending on what you like. It keeps longer if you don't eat the whole pan like me and it comes out more cakey. Total HEAVEN!

This book is my lifesaver on MANY things.... I was that girl that sent my CC payment in the day I got the bill. Not anymore because this book reminded me that I was making that company more money off interest drawn from my early payment! If you are like me, your mind might have wondered during financial or personal accounting and that little fact went to the wayside! Her down to Earth advice and info helped me make more informed decisions on things like home buying, first car purchase and more.

AND!!! I just found out the author, Jane Buckingham, has another book that comes out May 11th. Pre-order here and save! You can bet your bippy I am going to the store and pre-ordering TO-freaking-DAY!

Well, I better get off the Internet and to the mall b/c apparently some people don't like how I dress. Can I find close toe black shoes in the summer? Guess they just don't appreciate expensive designer shoes that make me really tall;)

Peace out cub scout,
Keffer
