Things I’ve learned this week
It is possible to develop some truly heinous body aches from doing too much housecleaning.
This made me giggle. This made me nod my head in agreement.
Once you’ve lived through enough winters, you can accurately smell the freezing point when it hits.
Watching Irish dance is way too addicting. It makes you watch more. And more. And eventually, makes you want to learn how to do it.
A snake that was thought, for many years, to be female can, in fact, turn out to be male. (And I could have done without the particulars in that discovery — particularly the part about learning, in unfortunately vivid detail, exactly what a snake’s penis looks like.)
Ancient spinning techniques are fascinating. At least to dorks like me (and Lyse). We are both in so much trouble.
The lid of a garbage dumpster can freeze shut. But if you’re mad enough, you can yank it open anyway.
I can’t figure out which of these clocks I like best. I’m leaning toward Clocky but I don’t like the color choices.
Winter gives me such a wonderful excusereason to be a homebody. And make lots of pretty things while I’m at it.

They have a clock that hovers over your bed and descends upon you in the morning? Can I say, “hell no”?
I actually sort of like the anemone clock, just not in bright yellow. Ugh.

I so need to get Barry that puzzle clock. But first I think earplugs to mute out his screaming and cursing while is sleepily tries to put it all back together.
That spinning page is pretty neat. I read it for a while before I even could post my response. you are a bad influence, you know?
