howdy y'all.
i'm over at Crazy Hip Blog Mamas cuz i haven't been in a coon's age. i'm right on time for the latest, Collaboration (#45)
they're asking what words of wisdom have been passed down to me through the years, by a family member, a teacher, or somebody similar.
the best career advice i've ever gotten was from my momma, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day. when i was in 9th grade, she said if i learned to type i would always have a job. so i took one semester of typing.
and she was right.
when i lived with my grandma while i attended high school, grandma would always admonish me about laying around in my clothes after i came in from school. she said if they weren't dirty, i could hang them up and wear them another day.
i thought she was crazy. what the heck did i know back then?
when i became my own Principle Laundry Do-er, i began to understand what grandma meant. i repeat it to baby bliss all the time. maybe she'll get it sooner than i did.
thanks g-ma and grandma for the good advice. it's served me well over the years. '-)
now hold on to your own bon conseil for a little while longer and get on over to Crazy Hip Blog Mamas to check out the good advice other folk got.
don't forget to share yours.

I agree with the typing thing! now I'm a quick blogger! I'm still working on hanging up my clothes and I am the one who does oodles of laundry around here! I just got my energy saving washing machine though! going greeen! not green enough to wash them in a tub though!
Candace, there are very few things i'll wash very few things in the tub. usually my bikini when i get a shower after a swim. LOL
i do wish i had a clothesline tho. i love the outdoor smell of laundry hung in the fresh air. :-)
Good advice! I miss the CHBMs, maybe one of these days I will get back around to participating in the collaborations again.
DSB, are you a CHBM? get on back girl! we miss ya. '-)
The typing thing is so true. In college I signed up with a temp agency and the only skill required for half the jobs was typing. Everyone should learn to type.
Happier Girl, temp agencies have been my life savers more than a few times. thank God for 'em. :-)
Typing always a good thing! Definitely agree. Temp agencies are a beautiful thing!
