Three Lessons (aka Whoops!)

Today, I am taking some cues from Emily, and turning my whoops moments from the past week into a how to post for you. You're welcome.

When making smoothies... Do not put the bamboo spoon into the blender while it is mixing, chopping or stirring. This will cause the blender to take a chunk out of the spoon, while simultaneously bending the blades of the 13-year old machine. In addition, orange smoothie will splatter all over the kitchen, into your hair, and onto your face. Luckily, you will not have gotten dressed for work, so only your robe is covered with the mess. As a result of the spoon in the blender incident, you will be forced to fish wood shards out of your smoothie prior to drinking it. 
THE UP-SIDE You will be asking for, and hopefully receiving, a new blender for Mother's Day!

When attending your daughter's audition... Avoid taking a water bottle or any other item that may make a loud noise when dropped on the floor. This is especially important when you are not supposed to be watching said audition. Hiding in the corner, behind the curtain, is only effective when you don't drop a water bottle, causing everyone, including those auditioning to look your direction. 
THE UP-SIDE Your daughter was not actually the one auditioning when you dropped the bottle, so she still doesn't know that you saw her performance!
When participating in blogger giveaways... Pay close attention to which blogger has won which prize. Creating a separate email folder for each giveaway and/or creating a spreadsheet may be helpful. If you had created such an organizational system, you may have avoided sending two prizes to the same person.
