Lessons of a Home Owner

We have learned a handful of things in our three and a half weeks of Home Ownership:

1. There may be 9+ smoke detectors in the house (don't ask....), but none of them will go off if someone falls asleep on the couch and burns the contents of a pot to smithereens, filling the whole first floor with smoke so much it messed with my asthma.
2. Apparently, if you want to save $20 you need to read the directions on the bag of fertilizer so you don't have to run out and buy a second bag.
3. Hard wood floors are pretty....and cranky.
4. Having a one car driveway means at some point I will HAVE to drive Joe's Accord. Shucks. ;)
5. There are too many hiding places....making you wonder if Tiger found a way to sneak out.
