What I Learned This Week

It’s time for another edition of What I Learned This Week, which is always such an easy post for me because my fountain of knowledge will never, ever run dry. There are lessons to be learned at every turn. For that reason, the words just flow.

I’m sitting here in my big, blue, bloggy chair watching Dancing With The Stars and debating whether or not I should take a couple of aspirins. I rekindled my relationship with the treadmill today and my calves are crying out each time I move. I haven’t been to the gym for like, oh, I don’t know, forever

The first thing I learned is that eating a greasy, fat biscuit with egg, sausage and cheese ON THE WAY to the gym is never a good idea.

Never.

So, with the least amount of movement as possible, here’s the short list of things I learned this week.

• The apple cinnamon jelly at the iHop that I snarl my nose at is actually really, really good. One should try new things from time to time.
• Diet Dr. Pepper? It ain’t so bad neither.
• Apparently 484 is my lucky number. And by lucky, I mean REALLY lucky because the odds were um, not in my favor, but still I won a really great prize over at the Ultimate Blog Party.
• Spatchcock chicken is chicken that has been flattened by cutting the backbone, and then opened up flat for grilling. Just saying that word cracks me up!
• When you spend 33 minutes on an exercise bike burning a measly 240 calories, you will hesitate to eat for the rest of the day.
• I want need an iPad.
• Ziti, the frozen kind from SAMS, will allow you to have ONE SINGLE DINNER with no one bartering about how many bites or how much more they have to eat. Hallelujah. And Amen.
• If by chance Metro 911 system ever reconfigures every. single. address. on your street, you can expect a great deal of aggravation.
• And speaking of aggravation, you should be very careful when posting to a social networking site from the iPhone because as I’ve mentioned several times here at FITP, Inc. the little keyboard is not conducive to fat fingers therefore causing words like ‘list’ to come out as ‘lust’ and ‘post’ to come out as ‘pist’.

Now, how’s that for a random list?

If you’re linking up this week, please remember to link back here to my blog AND be sure to link to your actual WILTW post and not your blog in general. Pretty please.

Mkay, thanks!
