10 Things I Learned This Week

1. It's so wonderful to have understanding friends who know exactly what you're going through and love you no matter what the storm.
2. A good way to burn off some of those calories from Thanksgiving is Fundaygos, an indoor inflatable playground for kids. I felt like a big kid myself.
3. New Moon is way better the second time around.
4. The most precious thing I've seen is a 2 year old and an 85 year old sitting and watching Jungle Book together.
5. The average American gains 12 pounds around the holidays. A good way to start that is two Thanksgiving dinners in one day and Pumpkin Cheesecake three times in one weekend. No wonder I feel like my jeans have been painted on.
6. Scrabble is my new favorite game!
7. A good way to keep a child and a dog entertained is to give the child a flashlight. It's hilarious!
8. I wish I didn't care so much about what people say or do.
9. I'm going to be the big 3-0 in three days. Ugh. But ...
10. We will be strolling the streets of NYC in three days!
