Another 10 Things I Learned This Week

1. It’s totally okay to keep your mouth shut and opinions to yourself sometimes.  As fun as it can be to completely suck the joy out of someone and break their spirit, it’s not completely necessary, no matter how stupid you think they are.
2. If you buy a mouse a lookout tower that attaches to her cage, she will spend the entire night noisily dragging every piece of food she can find up the tube that leads to the lookout.
3. No matter how much money you spend fixing a Buick, it will never be satisfied.  Sometimes you just have to give up, hope for the best, and have your living-will updated just in case.
4. Ballet lessons really don’t cost $48 a month.  That’s just what they tell you so they can suck you in.  Next thing you know, you are out $500 in recital fees, picture days and costumes.
5. If someone is spying on your Facebook page, they pop up in your list of suggested friends.  Now every time I log onto Facebook, I have the delight of seeing a picture of my ex-boyfriend’s psychotic girlfriend.  Now she’s updated it to a picture of the two of them together, gazing dreamily at the camera in matching Steelers gear.  Barfo-licious.
6. 7 year olds are incredibly malicious.  Bitter divorcees and car salesman pale in comparison to 7 year olds.
7. A horse cough/fart combo can send a little boy in to a fit of hysterical laughter so hard that he has to be held up on his horse.  I do have to admit though, it was pretty spectacular.
8. There is a direct correlation between gas prices and my fuel light.
9. Tractor Supply’s 4 Health dry cat food smells worse than canned cat food.
10.  It is really hard to think of 10 things that you learned in a week.
