Things I've Learned Thursday
Don't forget to enter the used book giveaway hereThe giveaway ends on Friday.
Now, on to Things I've Learned Thursday
1) I'm so glad that my new neighbors are playing music at full volume that is tolerable. They are from Hawaii so I feel like I'm there, listening to the waves splashing across the sand.
2) Arizona is pathetic if they think that racial profiling is okay! Enough already! Stop the discrimination. Okay....breathe...breathe...I'm okay.
3) My pit bull sheds enough to make a whole 'nother puppy.
4) Elephants and creditors never forget.
5) My weight gain this week is totally dedicated to my daughter Apricot-tea aka Married Boo. Thanks for the yummy vegan cornbread recipe but did it have to taste SO good????
6) Boo is now a true rancher. He's just started his own worm farm so that he will have endless worms for fishing. You would think he was plotting and tilling the soil for a 200 acre farm. He is one proud farmer and the worms haven't even arrived yet!
7) When it comes to gizmos, Boo is happiest when he's attempting to fix something, make something, or construct something. My job comes in as the cheerleader. I've learned to say the following, "Wow! You really did a great job trimming those hedges. Even in the hot sun, it's impressive."
8) After cleaning out my closet, I almost felt like there was an echo there. But, I made a promise to myself that I would not get down in the dumps over the clothes that I couldn't fit but to get happy at the fact that I was going to buy some clothes that I truly would feel good wearing.
9) Hormones are messing with me. I got sappy watching the TVLand Awards where Cheryl Ladd and Jacquelin Smith accepted the award and dedicated to Farrah Fawcett. I was reaching for a kleenex. Finally, I turned the channel. I just couldn't take it!
10) I'm so thankful to Mari for suggesting online billpay. That has been a huge relief and blessing for me. (Thanks!)

I had to laugh out loud when I read the one about music. I agree, if it's waves, then it could be tolerable!
Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog. I appreciate your words of encouragement.
Blessings,

I think my cat is in the same boat as your dog with the shedding.
Glad you are enjoying online bill pay. It really does make things easy.
You have yourself a terrific Thursday!!!
I am chuckling over your cheerleader role. I take the same persona whenever Ron does A N Y T H I N G! Wow! Thanks for making the bed, dragging the trash to the end of the drivewway, putting down the seat, ...... gets old though.... xoxo
#4 cracked me up!!! Creditors do not forget!!! lol
I've been using online billpay for years now and wonder how I ever survived without it.
I learned to be patient when I wanted to kick my cat for leaving a trail of poop around my dining room table yesterday! I learned that a gall bladder test isn't so bad and you can even get some rest during it. I learned that my two year old is my current biggest cheerleader, as she has been saying, "Yay! You did it" every time I go potty along with her! :)
Enjoy the tunes.
We have a ton of worms in our garden...I never even thought to use them for fishing. I'm sitting here thinking that the worms can't breathe under water so I can't use them to fish with but they're meant to be fish food anyway...chances are they weren't gonna survive anyway.
Let us know how the worms turn out!
LOVE that kind of farming. So cute.
Love your TILT!
It's the ultimate Japanese torture. I wish he'd put on some Hawaiian music instead!
Great list as always, Simone.
I've learned that I LOVE to "create" with Adobe Illustrator, even though it takes me hours just to make one simple graphic! :)
I cry every week when I watch Biggest Loser. Not a dignified cry. A full-blown sobby, weepy mess.
Bill pay rocks!
Happy Friday!
Love and Hugs ~ Kat
I especially love #7 because this is something that that I have to learn to do with Hubs. Be a cheerleader. I really have to try harder at this.
