    eating chicken wings, onion rings, and countless beers will slow a man down about 67% after mowing the lawn.
    But, it was juuuust enough to help me forget that PJ tickets went on sale.

    I learned that you can love a pet so much that their loss is easily on par with losing a close loved one in your life.

    Very sorry for your loss. :cry:

    I will likely need to check myself into a mental institution when my cat dies.

    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    I learned that its not bad to make the first step in reconciling...

    AND reconciling is a VERY good thing.

    it was a good weekend.

    I've fallen asleep while on the phone with my mother and she's been so immersed in what she's saying that she doesn't even notice. Half the time my husband can't even tell that I'm on the phone because I say absolutely nothing. Our conversations are really her just having a monologue. She would have been just as clueless to any ensuing chaos. :fp:

    Exactly! That's what got us off the phone an hour later, actually. She realized she was just "jabbering".

    I learned that fixing a gas clothes dryer is super duper easy and any one with a basic tool kit, youtube, and half a brain could fix a gas dryer (it is my first dryer I ever owned and my first attempt at fixing one, but I am an ASE certified mechanic.. but seriously is was stupid easy..)

    I learned that I gotta keep better track of the lizards outside. One snuck in when I opened my door. Little bastards are quick to catch...especially with a cat chasing after it! :lol:

    I can make a mean beef broth :shock: :mrgreen:

    When we cannot find the kitty anywhere, she is sleeping inside the chaise near the window. The underside has a zipper that was open, and she seems to like it down there :lol:

    I love "Rival".
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!
