Recently a friend commented that I needed to get a life due to my spouting useless knowledge during a party. I have since sent him a trivia fact daily to his email. I have decided to share some of these with everyone. Here are a few from this week:
Did you know?
The Pope has been known to wear red "Prada" shoes.
It brings a whole new meaning to "The Devil Wears Prada", don't you think!
Did you know?
The name Vanilla comes from the Spanish word "vainilla", diminutive form of "vaina" (meaning "sheath"), which is in turn derived from Latin "vagina".
Changes the way you look at the ol' plain ice cream, huh!

We have had a hole in our hall, from the vacated swamp cooler, for 4 years! My husband covered it with a white board upon removing the swamp cooler and it has been there ever since. So, I have decided to post the "Thought of the Week". I feel like Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel. Here is this week's thought:

Two weeks ago (yes, it takes me that long to post) we were leaving in the late afternoon to visit family. I decided to close the curtains since it would be dark upon our return. While completing the task I noticed that my lips felt rather chapped. I thought to myself, "I will need to put some chapstick on before leaving". As I closed the bedroom curtains (they are on the hubby's side) I noticed my the hubby had two chapstick containers on his nightstand. Thinking I would save time by not going around to my side I used his. As I was using it I noted that it was very narrow and almost cone shaped. I thought I would need to ask him how he managed that and left.
While eating dinner with family, the discussion turned to the frost bitten nose damage that my 
hubby suffers from due to very cold ski days. He then proceeded to explain that the tip of his nostril area is very chapped and he has to coat it with chapstick. The sudden realization as to why his chapstick is cone shaped hit me and I sprayed soup across the table. It wasn't that I hadn't seen him do this, I just wasn't thinking as I used it. We laughed about the event on and off for the rest of the night. In fact whenever he uses the stick we both burst into peals of laughter.
