#12. When you clean the oven after a cooking disaster like this one, open the windows and turn on all the fans. Otherwise you will wake up in the middle of the night choking on the smoke and noxious fumes.
#13. There is no shame in forking out ten bucks for a storebought cookie cake. The Diva's classmates couldn't have cared less.
#14. In general, it is not wise to mix antihistamines, decongestants, and alcohol. Unless you want to sleep for 12 hours, that is.
#15. The amount of laundry in a five-person household is somehow 10 times larger than the amount of laundry in a single-person household. I still haven't figured that math out.

Re: cleaning the oven
I have to pass along this tip. I read about it and was skeptical, but then tried it and it actually works. Sprinkle baking soda over the mess on the oven floor, sprinkle water over that, and let it sit overnight. In the morning, wipe clean. Stubborn bits might take an additional treatment, but I was able to clean our horrifying apartment oven when we moved out, and there were no noxious fumes!
As for laundry, that scares me. Because the laundry in our two-person household is about five times that of my former single-person household.
A key life lesson I've learned the hard way is this: if you run out of dishwasher detergent, do not fill up the receptacle with the dish soap that you use for washing dishes at the sink. It's a nightmare of suds.
Laundry scares me as well!
Funny post.
I love your blog layout. I enjoyed your post about the cookie. Very funny.
