things i have learned in the last 730 days

* recycling is important
* the person who said "learn to pick your battles" was not just being quippy.
* well, maybe they were just being quippy, but i think it is good advice.
* i have a harder time picking my battles than a 9 year old little girl.
* staying in nice hotels is fun.
* love really does grow as you share more of life and yourself with another person.
* i hate folding laundry.
* recycling comes every other friday.
* even counselors need counseling sometimes.
* i really do like "Scrubs" (even though it IS silly).
* being commited to church and relationships is priceless - even if everything is broken and you can smell everyone's butts. you just don't give up.
* i want a small, quiet place to simplify and only do what is important.
* this is the only life i get - i want to do the things that i love.
* i am an artist.
* i can't do it all - i love having a partner.
* i have major major issues with trusting people.
* my issues impact other people.
* when i forget when recycling day is, there is a handy dandy calendar taped up in the pantry.
* i only discovered this calendar a few months ago.
* the proper way to paint a room and baseboards.
* the beauty of using Speer Blvd. to get around town.
* flying Frontier is the BEST!
* fall really is the greatest season.
