Ten life lessons I've learned from watching a small number of cable tv programs.

1. Cast iron cookware is the only way to get my food to taste amazing.

2. Always ask the seller to pay the closing costs when you're buying their house.

3. I may not know what to wear, but I should always try to wear an outfit rather than just clothes.

4. Couponing is a valid form of employment for people that have an addiction for dried pasta, shampoo-and-conditioner-in-one, and sloppy joe mix.

5. When my daughter buys her wedding dress she will never have to emotionally proclaim 'YES, this is the dress!'

6. Birth stories at 10am complete with video footage are not okay to watch on the tv screens in the gym. Never. Nada. No, no, no.

7.  People do really have bowls of lemons in the their kitchens.

8. Weird arty people with tattoos and beards make amazing birthday cakes.

9. There can NEVER be too many episodes of Top Gear.

10. Anyone with half a brain can install drywall.Getting it up or down a stairwell is a totally different matter.
