things I've learned this week:

1. There are some words that will always be funny, no matter how old I get.

2. If faced with the dilemma of giving up coffee, it would be a hard fight...even though I can't even finish ONE CUP.

4. Sometimes its fun to skip things. Even if it drives me crazy not to follow rules.

5. I might just have to put a 3 somewhere else so it doesn't feel left out.

6. I have a tendency to find myself in a rut. I just like doing the same things, and I'll be darned if you even try to introduce variety into my day. MAYBE I LIKE BEING BORING. sometimes.

7. I have discovered an affinity for using the caps lock key. Its fun, I promise. TRY IT.

3. The name of the news service Reuters is not pronounced 'rooters' or 'ruders' as in, "The rooters for the Yankees were severely disappointed this week when they were swept by the Red Sox," or "Those kids are so much ruder than your kids." Reuters is actually pronounced like 'roiders' as in one who takes steroids. (Oh, the things you learn while watching the West Wing with a smart husband.)

8. We rescued a very attached dog who does not like to cuddle, just pet and nuzzled. Oh, and she likes to pee when we leave. Oh, she also likes to poop in the special pen/kennel/area we crafted for her. Did I mention she likes to pee when we leave? We've had her for 2 years, but sometimes I want to kick the living...
I'll stop myself there.
