Lesson 3: How To Watch Hurricane Coverage

First you put it on the weather channel. But the weather channel is really boring and they keep talking about your local weather, so the next step is to CNN. CNN is not boring at all, because eveyone on the network is really excited about everything that is going on. They over-react to everything. I believe they reported about 4 breaches through he course of the morning. Then you get freaked out. So you go upstairs and start watching WWL on the internet. They make you feel much better about things, but there is no couch in the office, so you go back down again. Repeat for 4 hours. Then go swimming because it’s Labor Day, and this is your last chance. Then come back, and do it all over again.

Lesson 2: Get a Dry Erase Board

Dry erase boards are the greatest. They are very good for making to-do lists, remembering dates, playing hangman, and counting down. They are also good for brain storming sessions, and last minute reminders. I have two and I use them all the time.

I would reccommend staying away from the Foray brand however. Bad news. Lousy Markers.

Here is a quick list of DEB list uses:

1) Groceries
2) Concert Dates
3) Packing Lists
4) Threats
5) Bills
6) Sex
7) Birthday Gifts
8) Cd’s you want
9) People you hate
10) Things your cat will eat

I have decided to start publishing a how-to manual on life, based on the lessons I have learned.

Lesson 1: Keeping Cold Water Handy

It’s advisable to have two water pitchers in the fridge at all times. That way you have a better chance of not running out of cold water. If you plan it right, you should be able to run out of the first one, then refill it. Then you start using the second pitcher. By the time the second one is empty, the first one will be cold again. Enjoy!

Also, it is always best to refill both pitchers before you go to bed, just in case. BUT, it is important that you make sure you fill up a nice big glass of cold water (and one for your significant other, if applicable) before doing so. Otherwise you end up getting a half-cold glass of water.
