2. If the dishes must be done, it's much more fun if you watch a KID do them. Really. Very entertaining.

5. You know you're working on a good WIP when you can jump right back into it after having sadly neglected it for a few weeks. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
6. There are no adjectives, adverbs or any other parts of speech which can adequately describe how I feel about driving on freeways. Really. There aren't any, I've looked for 'em. Non-existent.
7. It only becomes important that you've worn the letters right off the keyboard when someone who can't touch type needs to use it. (Which would be just about everyone in my family.) *I* know where the letters, are, so what's the problem?
8. Why do teachers insist on assigning homework during the last 2 weeks of school? Do they REALLY think the kids are going to do it, or that the parents are motivated to make the kids do their homework at this late date? Seriously, people. WTHeckadoodle?
9. Suitcases don't unpack themselves. Neither do carry-on bags.
10. NCIS is more addictive than pistachios. Abby said so, and she wouldn't lie, would she?
11. It's not really laughing unless you're snorting and peeing your pants.
