A Good Housekeeping Tip
If you've ever wondered if it's a good idea to keep jack-o-lanterns indoors for two weeks, it is not. The result of this impromptu science project is a collection of soggy, spongy, collapsed orange gunk, with an incredibly high orange water percentage that happily spills out all over your hardwood floors. Also on your socks. Attempts to contain this mess within trash bags will be futile, as this is apparently a substance that has the ability to travel through plastic. You will end up sobbing into your dumpster at eleven thirty at night.
It seems unlikely at this point that I will ever get my own home decorating show.
