Zippers, cleaning and nights, oh my...

I have had very few things to write about lately. I have NOT enjoyed being at home. I have slept the entire week away and overall, it has just been CRAPPY being back. The one interesting thing I discovered this week is that zippers can lock. Did you know that the little zipper pull when turned down prevents the zipper from going down...it is locked so to speak. I was absolutely AMAZED when I learned this this week and haven't been shy in telling all I meet. AND, a pair of my favorite jeans has been salvaged. I have thought the zipper has been broken all this time and today. Basically new jeans. 

The next thing I have discovered is that Mr. Clean Magic Erasers are the best things EVER to clean a shower with. So tonight I decided that while I was awake, an not planning on falling asleep anytime soon...for reasons I will only tell if you ask, I decided I needed to clean my bathroom...my whole house really, but tonight, my bathroom. Something you should also know...I buy ANYTHING. If it looks cool, if the commercial makes me think it is amazing, if I think it will make my life easier in any way...even if it is in a little size, I'm sold. So I have had these Magic Erasers for quite sometime now and have never actually sat down to use one...Well tonight something urged me to try one...and it was the best and easiest cleaning I have ever done. It makes me want to clean my shower MUCH more often...and I already clean it a lot...

Lastly, as my title alludes, nights. I really hate night time. I HATE not being able to fall asleep. I hate being wide awake when EVERYone else in the world is asleep. I hate that there is never anything on TV in the middle of the night and I just kind of hate when I do fall asleep because of dreams. I seem to NEVER get good sleep unless it is at a time when I should be awake. I am starting to think I need to get a job that has a night shift. Then I would at least be getting paid for being up all night. AND it would be appropriate to sleep during the day. Any thoughts? Stock-girl at Walmart? Anyone? Putting GREAT use that college diploma, I know. What about a truck driver. I could be getting paid to DRIVE all night long. That could be glorious. Maybe this week while I am sleeping all day I will find time to research getting my CDL...or even seeing if that is what I would need to be a trucker. I think I would be an awesome trucker...and always in my pearls.

  1. I love magic erasers! They get crayon and marker off practically anything, so they're very handy when you're around kids a lot!

    And I definitely think there should be more pearl-wearing truck drivers.

  2. I'm sorry your sleep is sucking, but glad to hear about the Magic Erasers. I really HATE cleaning the shower so maybe I should give these a try. Or you could just come on over next time you can't sleep and do it for me!! Ha! That would be another excellent night-shift job...midnight house cleaning. People could wake up to a clean house. Love it. Except vacuuming could be tricky...I'll have to figure out the details.
