Why is this what made me post? I have no idea.
Hi Internets! Life has been CRAZY since last we talked, and included taking Puplet in to get x-rays (we thought he'd fractured his ankle; thankfully everything is fine, it's just a REALLY bad strain), missing the fun. concert (WOE), but making the Jeffrey Foucault & Peter Mulvey concert (AMAZING - loved every inch of it). We've started watching Jericho season 2 (two episodes in and I still adore the show) and are keeping up with Castle but everything else has fallen behind. (Oh, except Modern Family, The Amazing Race, and Community, which I convinced AHH to watch with me by showing him the space episode. \o/)
Anyway, I'm not actually here to share all that. I'm here to share this thing I got in email from my dad that made me kind of laugh and go "omg YES" (ESPECIALLY NUMBER 11) and I felt compelled to show you guys. IDK! Just go with it!
Adult Truths
1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.
5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
6. Was learning cursive really necessary?
7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.
10. Bad decisions make good stories.
11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.
12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.
13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.
14. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
15. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
16. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?
17. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!
18. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
19. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
20. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time.
So there's that. Did I tell you I've given up the Chargers for this year? We needed a break. I'm actively rooting against them because I think they also need a break from the Playoffs. Then we can both come back together next year as better people and I can love them again.
Sports, man.
Hope y'all are well!
