Every week, hell every day, is a unique experience in life! Although my life may seem monotonous at times I am always learning something new and I pray this never ends. Albeit most of what I learn is totally useless, but nevertheless it keeps life interesting.
Here are some of the things I learned this week.
- When you begin to write a blog post make sure that your computer isn't about to do an automatic reboot in 5 minutes before you've had a chance to save what you have written.
- When introducing your Mother to Dexter be prepared for at least 6 full hours of viewing time.
- The only time it sucks to be Canadian is when you have to deal with a full week of -22C temperatures.
- Cars don't like full weeks of -22C temperatures.
- Hamlet is one fucked up dude (although I am only half way through the play at this point so perhaps there is a method in his madness).
- I say fuck a lot but rarely write it. Hmmm?
- When agreeing to "truth of dare" as a prize for winning a game of pool make sure that you have practiced up beforehand or at least know that your opponent sucks at the game.
- It's advisable to only agree to "truth or dare" with people who don't already know you always speak the truth anyway (dammit)!
- When you ask your daughter how her best friend's new puppy is doing make sure it's not the day after a holiday so you don't spend 20 minutes saying, "No, I will not come take you shopping for cheap chocolate and candy!" over and over again.
- Girls are excellent at using guilt as a weapon.
- There are still good people in the world.
- Shopping for clothes in your 40's is not a pleasant experience. Everything either seems too young for you or too old.
- When in doubt go for the too young look.
- Sometimes learning that your intuition was correct can be hurtful, but it can also be very liberating.
- When a random gas station employee is stressing out and telling you all about how the person who was supposed to do the next shift is a half hour late and not picking up their phone, making the comment, "Yeah people suck" is an appropriate response.
- When a friend is confiding in you and telling you about their somewhat lewd past, making the comment, "Wow you're a slut!" may not be an appropriate response.
- My mouth sometimes needs a filter.
- My mouth needing a filter is something I seem to keep relearning every week.
Well, that's all the learning for last week. Onto the next! Happy Monday, Everyone!
