A non-10 list

Things I learned this weekend, in no particular order:

1. I should be a clothing designer. I need to design a line of sleepwear for 30-something moms who aren't "old", but also aren't college coeds either. With the current sleepwear offerings, even at various stores, I can look like grandma, a college sorority chick, or a slut. Take your pick. Oh, and everyone is supposed to sleep in LONG PANTS even when the temp tops 80 degrees! Puh-leeze!

2. The store, Forever 21, has perfected the art of swimsuit-cover-up-as-dress. They call them tunics.

3. Patio furniture is either very expensive or very cheap. There is no middle ground.

4. If you wake up one morning and have nothing you "want" or "need", suddenly coming into some money will bring to mind more things than there is money for.

5. Pretty soon we'll all be paying sales tax on online purchases because some websites are getting smart and asking you what county you live in.

6. Kids can break things even when they're being good.

7. Kids will make a mess no matter how many times you've warned them not to.

8. You should probably mulch or cover your garden with something in the fall so that it doesn't become another rainforest next spring.

9. The day you plan for your yardwork and/or yard project, it will rain.

10. 3-day weekends, even with a fourth day thrown in, are never long enough.
