Is that toothpaste on your face?

What exactly is it that I do? I don't cook- I don't clean- and I don't work. (Well, I write this blog, and put out the newsletter, but I hardly consider ANYTHING I can do in my pajamas to be WORKING.) You and my husband must be asking yourself what exactly I do with my day.
I am going to tell you what I do. I deal with the absurdity that is my life. Every single day, something happens that causes me to think to myself- THAT is going in the blog. Make sure you check back daily, I will have some REAL doozies this week.
Last night, I was getting ready to brush my teeth. Just as I squeezed the tube of toothpaste, the cat jumped up on the bathroom counter. It was 1am, it was dark, my husband was not home, I got a little spooked.
Ok, I actually freaked the you know what out. I screamed like a little girl, my heart fell into my shoes, and I squeezed the tube of toothpaste like a cannoli, all over the counter.
After I stopped shaking, I started cleaning up my mess. I remembered my mom once mentioning something about toothpaste being a good abrasive cleaner (Hey, if it can clean the Starbucks off my pearly whites, it has to be pretty good.)
Wouldn't you know that it shined my faucets to bright silver? Thank you for scaring the toothpaste out of the tube, Mr. Whiskers!
So today I did a little investigative reporting. It would appear that toothpaste is quite the versatile commodity. Did you know?
You can remove scuffs from leather shoes? Put a dab on the scuffed area and rub with a soft cloth. Wipe clean with a damp cloth. The leather will look like new.
You can clean your piano keys? Use toothpaste and a toothbrush, to lightly scrub the keys, then wipe with a damp cloth.
You can make your old sneakers look new again? Use non-gel toothpaste and an old toothbrush on the rubber sole. After scrubbing, clean off the toothpaste with a damp cloth.
You can clean your iron? ( Do you IRON?)Apply toothpaste to a cool iron, ( the metal part) and then scrub with a clean cloth. It will get all the deposits off the bottom.
You can polish your diamonds?Put a little toothpaste on an old toothbrush and use it to make your diamond ring sparkle. Rinse under cold water.
You can get the rotten milk smell out of baby bottles?Just put some toothepaste on your bottle brush and scrub away. Be sure to rinse thoroughly. Babies don't generally like milk and spearmint flavors mixed.
You can STOP your bathroom mirror from fogging while you shower?Coat the mirror with non-gel toothpaste and wipe it off before you get in the shower. When you get out, the mirror won't be fogged. ( I want full reports from all of you that smear toothpaste on the mirrors tomorrow)
You can clean the bathroom sink?
Squirt some toothpaste in the sink and scrub with a sponge, then rinse. The toothpaste will also kill any odors coming from the drain.
You can remove crayon from walls?
I use approximately forty three Magic Erasers per day, because my son is expressing himself in color- on my walls. Not anymore! Toothpaste is FREE. ( If you just said "FREE?!?" You are obviously not reading our shopping boards!)
Non-gel toothpaste and a scrub brush will rub away the crayon every time. Rinse the wall with water when you are done.
You can remove lipstick from clothes? Use non-gel toothpaste on the stain and rub the fabric vigorously together. Rinse with water.
You can remove watermarks from furniture?
Gently rub some non-gel toothpaste on the wood with a soft cloth. Then wipe it off with a damp cloth and let it dry before applying furniture polish.
You can remove beach tar from your feet?Just rub your tootsies with some non-gel toothpaste and rinse.
You can clear your acne?
Dab a bit of non-gel, nonwhitening toothpaste on a zit and Zap it! The toothpaste dehydrates the pimple and absorbs the oil.
And here I was thinking that the toothpaste under my sink was enough to last me a lifetime. Time to hit CVS, because now my stock will last me only HALF a lifetime. Happy Brushing!
Until we meet again,
