Things I Learned Yesterday

Life had a lot of lessons for me yesterday. Here are just a few I can remember...

I am perfectly incapable of eating a clementine without losing at least 20 seeds on the carpet of my work.

If you wear a red sweater (that looks like Christmas) and hop in the shower afterwards, don't get scared and think you're bleeding if there's lint all over your armpits.

Accordion playing at your apartment can become an every day event. (In addition to Jewish engagement parties that last for about 10 scary minutes).

Don't have family home evening in an apartment with a broken couch.

For some reason the f-bomb isn't as offensive when dropped by Australian people.

Any mention of the word "gold digga" becomes the reason for 5 minute laughing spurts.

Facebook won't log you in if you're writing your address @nm.byu.com instead of @nm.byu.edu.

Every game of Wise and Otherwise (and Taboo for that matter) must include at least one mention of the movie Elf or just elves in general.

You can make eight thousand dollars off dumpster diving for Wendy's cups.

Suriname is pretty much equivalent to Narnia.

Everytime I drive Amy's car I break something (ie. steering wheel, window, the starter).

Don't order a salad at Olive Garden. It comes free for just sitting there.

Pray and fast about every family home evening you attend.

Mr. B. is now an appropriate name for my father. (Mrs. J is beginning to become acceptable for my mother.)

Games till 1ish in the morning are probably bad for school nights.
