The Big House
Well...that's it. If you don't see me for a while, it's because I'm probably going to the clinker. Yup. Apparently I broke Federal Law. How, you ask? Well, I was using a package of Kirkland Signature Wipes, and I didn't follow the directions with exactness. The instructions tell the user to wipe dirt away with a cloth then use a clean wipe to wet the surface and keep it wet for five minutes to disinfect, using more wipes if necessary. I'm afraid that I only kept my counter wet for a total of four minutes and forty-five seconds. How could this possibly be against federal law?

I dit it...
Okay...I did it, and it's about time. I officially deactivated my Facebook account. Did you just fall of your chair in surprise??? I thought so. I've long been one of those people who made fun of others for either not having Facebook or getting rid of their accounts. Now I'm the one who's officially a loner. I've just had it.
