Hodge Podge

It's been a long week, I'm tired, and I don't have anything compelling to say or share. Just speaking the truth. So, please enjoy this compilation of news tidbits and have a wonderful weekend.

1.  11-year-old Lucy Li wows crowd at U.S. Women's Open.  Eleven, I say.

2.  Apparently, you're not supposed to put ice cubes in your dog's water.  There are mixed reviews as to why, how, and if it's actually dangerous. This article says your dog will become bloated and die.  And this one says there's no proof that it is harmful.

3.  The U.S. is still in the World Cup and I think they play again tomorrow.

4.  A trick when making a boxed cake mix cake taste better is to replace whatever water the recipe calls for with Sprite. It adds a little extra sweetness and the carbon dioxide makes the batter lighter and fluffier. You can also "doctor" store-bought icing by dumping in a bowl and mixing with a hand mixer for a minute to whip in some air and/or mix in a little powdered sugar. 

5.  An empty Tic Tac box is great for storing small items such as needles, bobby pins, safety pins, or buttons.

OK, folks, that's all I have today. Go and prosper!
