What I Learned This Week – Random Edition

Yes, that’s right! It’s Tuesday!

And that means its time for another edition of What I Learned This Week.

[And the crowd goes wild!]

And speaking of the crowd, if you’re a blogger, I’d love for you to join this carnival. After all, who doesn’t love funnel cakes and corn dogs. I mean, if this were a real carnival, that’s what I’d be serving. Back before Jo-Lynne passed the WILTW torch to me, she had several linkers. And now that it’s hosted over here at From Inmates To Playdates Dot Com, I have two or three of you linking each week. Would you mention the carnival to your friends? Call your neighbor? Pass the word on Twitter? Grab a megaphone and shout it from your rooftop?

Anything.

The more people that link up, the more we learn. So what in the heck are you waiting for? LINK UP FOR GOODNESS SAKE. Also, if you’re not a blogger, but you are reading, how about sharing what you learned this week in the comments.

Okay, now that I got all of that out of the way, here’s what I learned this week…

1. I added some Adele to my iPod this week, and I learned that I love her music.

Just wondering how in the world Lady Gag-Gag gets the attention she does with less than half the talent of Adele, not to mention the ridiculous pagentry. Sheesh.

2. A&W Rootbeer is so much better when served in an iced mug from the tap.

3. Cornhole, while fun, is not my strong suit.

Sorry to my tournament partners.

4. My ten-day-long reign of terror has been shortened drastically by an endometrial ablation.

Just keepin’ it real around here.

5. Being without phone service for three days is for. the. birds. Seriously, I thought I might gnaw my arm off.

6. According to Dr. Oz, listening to your iPod at more than 70% volume for more than an hour can be harmful to your hearing.

Can you repeat that?

7. It is totally possible to burn your elbow on the oven door.

This fact probably won’t surprise anyone who really knows me.

8. After not driving your mini-van for two weeks, it is easy to forget that the leather seats can burn a layer of  skin off your thighs in a hot minute.

Dang! It might also cause a person who does not cuss to think that she might.

9. A new McDonalds in your neighborhood will be big news for at least a week.

10. Coincidentally, the Big Breakfast with hotcakes is never a good idea just before a workout because you will feel like a bloated pig.

And because one should just know better.

11. Everybody Loves Raymond is one of, if not THE best sitcom ever to be on television.

12. The phrase “It is what it is” is drastically overused. Almost as much as the word, amazing. And I guess we might as well add the word ‘epic’ in there, too.

Few things are really amazing. Right, McDaddy?

Now, how’s that for random?

Feel free to link up what you learned this week. I’d love to hear from you! 

You know The Drill.
