THINGS I'VE LEARNED THIS WEEK

1. I let someone touch my feet. And I did not die. I cried a little, but I did not die. Those of you who know me....that is a HUGE deal. Those of you who don't....nevermind.

2. My contacts are scratching my cornea because I have been using the wrong multipurpose solution. I did not know that. That would have been a good thing to know when I had health insurance.

3. I am sentimental, even for things/people that only briefly crossed my path. This is a blessing and a curse.

4. I can "hike" up Fryman without stopping IF I am alone...with no one witnessing how hard I'm wheezing.

5. When I'm wheezing and I feel the urgent need to expell saliva, I CAN spit, but I cannot spit AND clear my body. Because I'm a GIRL!!! yay! I spit on my leg!

6. It is fun to send questionable pictures to people using a cell phone (captured from a certain cable channel that I may or may not work for). Explain THAT to your girlfriend!

7. My intuition about people is 98% accurate. However, if I have a gut feeling that someone/something is not going to work out, I hope to be proven wrong 100% of the time. (I AM DISAPPOINTED 98% OF THE TIME).

8. I'm not good with math....

9. I know things are happening exactly as they are meant to, and my journey is my own. The teacher will appear when the student is ready (or something like that).

10. I don't like eating meat on the bone. (I already knew this, but I forgot. And then I remembered). Can't you just picture it in MOTION!??!??! And I think about the Bodyworlds exhibit....people steaks. blaaaahhhhhggggghhhhhh.

11. I'm glad I never sold my purple carpet or my television or my ice trays. But I wish I hadn't given away my crock pot.

12. If you have a weird pain to the right of your belly button, and you don't have health insurance, IGNORE IT. It's probably just someone thinking about you...A LOT. And real hard-like. Just like when you're ears are burning. Only it means your appendix (or gall bladder?) is talking about you. "HEY douchebag!Down here! Yeah....I hate you. Just wanted to let you know!"

13. Believe it or not, I'm good with kids, and I realized there are no kids in my life here....they are all far away. boooo.

14. I like "fiber cakes."
