Things I've learned

1. Shaking your hair and running your fingers through it is sexy. Squeezing a pimple or plucking a stray eyebrow is not sexy.
2. Raising children is not a roller coaster ride. It’s that ride that you sit down, strap in, and it shoots you straight up and then it drops you straight back down. Over and over and over. And you can’t get off. And it costs $400,000 to ride.
3. If you wear your nastiest work out clothes to the gym and decide to stop for something from the grocery store on your way home, you will run into at least 5 people you know. If you smell really bad, it will be 7.
4. Whitney pointed out all my annoying habits the other day. I learned I have a lot of them.
5. My pet squirrel “Lerriuqs” (pronounced Lareeks, it’s French, okay, not really, it’s squirrel spelled backward, thank Whitney for the name), will now come to the front door and put his paws on the door and peer inside, (and will try to knock) waiting for his dinner. Bread makes squirrels fat. One thing I haven’t learned yet is how to tell if a squirrel is male or female.

  2. Now that is an interesting list! I completely agree with the roller coaster analogy.

  3. Love the squirrel's name...much more original that the "pet" I had growing up. Jimmy the Squirrel. He lived on my grandparent's property in Florida and lived to be about 28 years old, I think. Really, it was just any random squirrel; they were all named Jimmy, but as a kid growing up, I truly thought it was the same one. Well into my twenties. :-)
