Yes, I know that we’re halfway into 2013. But these light bulb moments were swarming in my head and I had to get them on paper.

Here they are….

I highly prefer email communication over phone calls.

When your celery gets limp from being in the fridge too long, if you cut it and stick them in a glass of water they’ll crisp right up!

You have to be 18 years old to buy lighters at The Dollar Tree (and apparently whip cream as well).

Kids really do say the darndest things.

Throw away all of your socks with holes. You will eventually get caught with your shoes off (ask me how I know!)

Goals won’t accomplish themselves.

If my goals aren’t written and broken down into smaller steps they’re toast.

If you get a chance to wear a go-pro camera somewhere on your body, do it. The attention is totally worth it.

Growing your own food and composting is extremely rewarding (and makes you popular in the neighborhood at harvest time!)

No need for a wine rack that holds 40 bottles when the most you have at any given time is 2 (I sold on Craigslist and feel great!).

I prefer free HD channels on my flat screen using an antenna over paying the cable company.

If my to-do’s aren’t written down, they don’t get done.

Even if my to-do’s are written, they still may not get done.

Just because my to-do’s are written down doesn’t make them important to-do’s.

Putting goals on a notecard in front of you reminds you daily of their presence.

Memory foam mattresses are the best invention since sliced bread (besides the internet; thanks Al Gore).

Cut all ties with negative people.

Plants and Animals in a home make me happy (I got rid of my rabbit, but rescued a dog!)

You can actually buy friends on Facebook.

The more you clean dust in a home the more that dust will return in its place (world mystery).

Homemade Chicken Parmesan is absolutely incredible.

What were your lightbulb moments of the first quarter?
