 Posted: 09/19/03 - 08:55 Post subject: what have you learned THIS week?
I learned:
- that Survivor is still a hellagood show
- the busier I am, the more I can accomplish
- Jolly Ranchers, though a tasty snack, are not as satisfying as Gobstoppers
- chocolate is ALWAYS better than vanilla
- it is possible for me to not run due to taper and for the world to continue to rotate
Now. You. Go!

I learned after sitting thru a court ordered 3 hr parenting class yesterday evening that I've been doing all the right things as far as my kids go. That's a good thing.

I've learned this week:
- I cannot have a couple drinks in the evening and be expected to function the next day.
- I still have oodles of homework to do and I'm very discouraged.
- I feel so good when the inside of the Jeep is clean.
- We're getting a home equity line of credit and will reduce our debt a hella lot with 5.75% interest (as opposed to the 19.99% which is the rate for our credit cards). WHOOHOOOO!
- John hates his workplace and is probably still considering the move to Houston (which I've decided I just CANNOT do, woe is me).

* I learned the homework sometimes has absolutely no value whatsoever.
* I learned that it's not so tortuous to file..when you've got music. (The electric slide makes it a little more challenging tho.)
* I learned that Eminem is a better actor than I thought.
* I also learned that maybe I don't really want to listen to the unedited version.

I learned:
even in a roomful of Bible-studying moms, the conversation can still turn to thongs.
even tho' i was a French/Secondary Ed major in college, my french studying secondary-ed-aged son will still fail french tests. 
my daughter has some little brass balls for a 10 yo. so good.
Thank Goodness It Fits are still the best choice for me.  
facing disappointment must only serve to strengthen me.
