Very Not Good Things



Someday I am going to do a list that is the antithesis of Oprah’s “Good Things”. What will headline my “very not good things” list? Kryptonite bike locks.

When is a kryptonite bike lock NOT a good thing? When you locked up your bike with it in the garage last summer and can no longer remember where you put the key.

I am growling as I type this because guru girl violated her own household management principle. This guiding household principle is as follows: In your address book, under tab “P” there shall be a title in bold. This title shall read “Passwords & Other Tricky Information”.

Under this title you shalt record all the passwords in your life, from the password to your local library account to the one for “wine country gift baskets”. You shall also record the location of all keys -- and other valuables -- that you have trickily stashed away. It’s great that Grandma gave you the silver that is a family heirloom. Not so great if you hid it beneath the basement stairs never to be found again.

This simple household management act shall greatly reduce stress and growling in your life. Have fun riding your bike this weekend. As you do it, think of guru girl who will be investigating every nook and cranny of her house, and possibly purchasing kryptonite-busting pyrotechnics.
