Have I taught you nothing?
So I was emailing with my dear friend Bryn today - a fun back and forth with laughs and giggles. Without filling you in on the full context of the days worth of emails between the two of us, I will just say that my final email said "have I taught you nothing?" And this was her response...
1) Buy generic drugs
2) I should floss more often than do
3) Make your bed every day (groan)
4) When cleaning make your bed first, then pile everything on top of it. Then you will have to put everything away before you can crawl into bed. And when you reach the end of your pile you are rewarded with a beautifully made bed.
5) 5 fruits/vegetables a day is not a target, it is a starting point
6) You can compensate for really hideous carpeting with just the right paint and accessories
7) Cheese sauce doesn’t have to come from a jar
8) If you are demented enough, you can teach your kids that making their beds is a treat & they will race to do it each night.
9) Avoid “Sun-in” hair-lightener unless you want orange hair
10) OB tampons rule over every other brand
11) Birthday “pie” is even better than “cake”
12) You can open a bottle of wine with a drill
13) Vacuum cleaners (some models) have bags that have to be removed and replaced. Periodically. Who knew?
14) People can ‘hear’ you smile over the phone
15) And certainly not least of all, you taught me to drive stick. Now, it was on the flux and I ruined the transmission, but I learned. Sorta
Gotta love girlfriends - love you dear!

And you have taught me so much more over the last 27 years -- that was just a quick list.
I love you!! Bryn
Such a very Andria list... I think I've heard so much of this before. You girls are so lucky to have each other as dear friends. Love, Mom
