21 Things I've Learned In The Past 3 Weeks.

1. I often take things way too personally.

2. My tolerance (read: gag-factor) for all things disgusting (read: cat vomit, poopy diapers) is decreasing the older I get.

3. If/when I have children, said tolerance level will make for an interesting year. Or twelve.

4. Infidelity is never justified. It's just not. If you don't like it, leave. If you feel obligated to stay, then shut up and make it work.

6. I get bored quickly when shopping for furniture.

7. Shopping with my mom is never a dull experience.

8. Item 6 + item 7 = 4 fantabulous hours with mom at Nebraska Furniture Mart.

9. I heart my new couch. And my awesome leather rug. (Will try to get a picture. It's so cool.)

10. Having a child get super-excited at your arrival, run, and leap into your arms is one of the best feelings ever. And a true hug from said child includes his legs wrapped around you middle.

11. I think we should hug like that more often. But, you know, in a non-sexual way.

12. Dentists aren't always scary. Especially when they prescribe ativan and percocet.

13. I really hate grocery shopping.

14. Without self-tanner, my skin would forever be the color of peeled chicken. (What can I say, I'm Scot-Irish.)

15. Ice cream makes everything better.

16. I do not like clutter.

17. But somehow I'm okay with a messy bathroom.

18. I love living alone. In fact, I like it so much I worry if I'll be okay with "sharing" things like the closet and the bed if I ever get married.

19. I am always amazed at the confidence my friends have in me. They often have more confidence in my abilities than I do. I'm not sure that's the way it should be.

20. Sometimes people are wrong. That's ok. Rumor has it I've been wrong a time or two. Though this rumor has yet to be confirmed.

21. When it's 108 degrees and 99% humidity, the air is so thick it must be chewed before inhaling.
