things I've learned

I'm sure this list will be updated periodically...

1. I had NO idea how cold 40 degrees really is until I was getting misted on, sitting on metal stands at a soccer game. good times.

2. I am NOT as good at hiding my feelings as I like to think I am.. (ask my seven-eight-nine-year old)

3. Although I love them dearly, I am getting tired of having pets. Not that I think we'll ever really NOT have a pet; I'm just sayin'.

4. I can ignore a growling stomach as long as I'm sitting down. After that, I've got to eat something. Skipping meals is NOT a good option any more. (drat)

5. I am not the most hard-headed person alive. That would be my darling husband. (it's just one of the zillion or so reasons why I love him!)

6. At least for now (October 2009), I get bone-crunching tired after about 2 o'clock. It's crazy.

7. No matter how much you know, you can't stop feeling.

8. Cleaning really does help clear my head. The harder I scrub, the better I feel. There is a calm that comes from a REALLY clean house.

9. I finally understand what corporate worship means. It doesn't mean sitting in a big room surrounded by people listening to/singing praise songs and a sermon. It means coming together with other believers and building relationships that strengthen the body, edify the Holy Spirit and demonstrate God's enduring love for His people and His desire for a love relationship with us.

10. Heartburn will not stop me from craving Las Casas' La Papas Nachos, with extra jalapenos.

11. I am worse than a seven year old on a long roadtrip...ARE WE THERE YET?!

12. I can love and hate June - at the same time.

13. Popcorn doesn't taste as good after two or three days in a row.

14. I am not a dog person.

15. Death hurts; regardless if it's a human or an animal friend.

16. The best way to lose baby weight is to get a puppy. They are more work than the newborn infant.

17. Having a dog means you have a new favorite pastime: sweeping up dog hair.

18. Despite our attempts to thwart it, there is no stopping how fast time goes by.

19. When I was younger, I enjoyed a good psychological thriller.  Forget that.  Life is scary enough. 

20. We are always taught never to judge people.  But sometimes it takes making the same horrible mistake to realize how easy it is to walk into disaster.

21. Some find me hard to work/live/deal with because of my fiery personality.  So, I've started giving out fire extinguishers and bunker gear to those around me.  And, every once in a while, an apology card for singed eyebrows.
