What I Learned This Week

Before we get started on this week’s edition of What I Learned This Week, can I just take one second to say,

“SQUEAL!”

Don’t you love my new header?

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how quickly my boys are changing their looks, and it dawned on me that I really needed to update their pictures here on the blog. (Only, we all know what happens when I try to do something on this blog that I have no business doing.) So, what I was really thinking was that I needed to have Jo-Lynne update their pictures here on the blog. It seems like every few months they are totally changing their looks, and I can’t tell you how much sadness that brings to me. It is also interesting to note that collectively, they gained 13 pounds, and grew 5 1/2 inches last year. It simpy baffles me.

And makes me cry.

ANYway, I am so pleased with the way the header turned out. Even though I am not pleased that the boys look so much older than they did just ONE SHORT YEAR AGO, I think the new header is gorgeous.

And no, Lulu did not make the header cut. Before you go and get yourself in an uproar though, you should know that I did add her to my About Me (which should really be the about US) page.

I know y’all didn’t come here to talk about my boys or my hamster, so I’ll just get on with what I learned this week.

Sound good?

1. Just because there are 24 people sitting in a Cardiologist’s office when you enter, that doesn’t mean (GASP!) that you will be there all day. It might mean that you’ll be there all day, but maybe not.

2.  A 24-hour heart monitor gig isn’t as big a deal as I thought it would be.

3. The whole HIPAA thing is a joke when you stop to consider that exam room walls are paper-thin.

YIKES.

4. Scramble With Friends is much easier to play on an iPad, than it is the iPhone.

5. If you like Words With Friends, you’ll probably LOVE Scramble With Friends.

6. There are some of the oddest things on the Pinterest. I think this coffin couch proves it.

7. When attending a scheduling meeting, it is best to take the one calendar that has all of your appointments and activities on it, or else you might realize that the Pinewood Derby race that you helped to schedule is the same weekend as a romantic FREE! marriage retreat FREE! weekend you signed up for over a month ago at a fancy resort.

Oh, and did I mention it was free?

Danggit.

8. Danggit doesn’t sound bad until your six-year-old says it.

OOPS!

9. Sausage has no place in a lasagna. (YUCK!)

10. I like nice, round lists. (Okay, so I didn’t actually learn that just this week.)

Now it’s YOUR turn. What did YOU learn this week?
