This week flew by so fast. Maybe it was the fact that I was at BlogHer last week or that we started football practice and back to school shopping. I’m not really sure, but busy is the keyword. Having that time to myself at the conference has given me a chance to step back and focus on what I want and where I want to go with my life. It’s been a big learning week, but way too much information for my tiny little post. However, I’m sure I’ll be bringing you tid-bits in the future. This weekend is Milena Fest, as it’s my birthday on Monday so the weekend is mine! Take a look at My Birthday Bucket List if you haven’t already. I’m sure I’ll have to change a thing or two because of the rainy weather, but I’m easy. ( Easier than most I’m finding out!) Here we go:
This week I learned that:
10. sometimes meeting someone that you admire can be incredibly disappointing. ( Yes, you were a bitch to me-sorry, but you just lost fan!)
9. I really hate watching people eat. ( I wouldn’t pay attention much if you didn’t have your mouth chomping away like a cow with a big wad of grass in it.)
8. some people don’t care who hears their conversations. ( Lady, I know more about you, your divorce, your custody battle, boyfriend in jail, etc and oh, so does my 8 year old son that was sitting with me when you were chatting with your friend. Thanks!)
7. my husband bought two packages of Pop Tarts and hid them in my cabinet. ( When I called him to ask him, ” Why are there Pop Tarts in my house?” His response was, ” I can’t believe you found them so fast!” ” I thought they would be a good grab and go breakfast item!” Seriously, I think he’s got high fructose corn syrup on the brain!)
6. there are good people everywhere. ( Thanks to the man that swiped his Metro card and paid for my subway fare when my card kept beeping!)
5. my kids don’t practice their instruments enough because I don’t make them. ( Slacker mom that I am! I can’t help it, but the torture of hearing songs slaughtered beyond recognition gets to me sometimes.)
4. I loathe sameness! ( I don’t get how people can be perfectly content to eat the same foods, vacation in the same place, etc, etc. Call me crazy, but I like to mix it up!)
3. no matter what kind of mood I’m in the soundtrack to Footloose makes me happy! ( I’m on a Kevin Bacon kick lately!)
2. the worst part about working at home is having your kid ask you to snuggle right when you are in the middle of a deadline. ( I want to abandon everything and snuggle, but I can’t!)
1. I have the ability to not let one little thing ruin my whole day. ( You tried, it didn’t work, you lose- bye, bye!)
Have a great weekend! Stop by and enter all of my giveaways! I have two live right now and will have 1 more by the end of the day. Good things are happening here:) Thanks for being a part of it!

sooooo…i can’t stand watching certain people eat. or the sounds they make while they eat. apparently this is a mental disorder called “misophonia”. I’m serious 😉 I just discovered I have it & that’s why I get so angry at “certain people” when they eat, gulp, ect….
