Things I've learned this week

• When browsing Barnes & Noble, it is wise to keep track of the time, especially if you are supposed to pick your daughter up from pre-school. She will yell "FINALLY, JEEZ!" very loud when you arrive one whole minute late.
• The phenomenon known as the "marine layer" basically means that it can go from 75 degrees to 50 in about ten minutes with a drastic increase in humidity. And this will always happen at the beginning of a three-hour baseball game.
• The marine layer and I do not see eye-to-eye when it comes to matters of my hair.
• Surprisingly, trying to talk Josh into skipping church and going to Disneyland is not as easy as you would think.
• Freezing the girl scout cookies does not necessarily make them less tempting for me. You see, FROZEN COOKIES ARE DELICIOUS.
• Paying my kids to clean is well worth the one dollar a piece that they charge me.
• Hannah's version of helping me make dinner is her sitting on the counter in an apron eating Lucky Charms.
• Grey's Anatomy is still the best hour spent watching television.
• Favorite thing this week: The warm sunshine and MAC makeup packages in the mail.
