Things I learned in 2009 – Patrice’s

Ilona asked me to post today, so I thought I’d play off of Nalini’s post from yesterday.

1) I finally found the best lip gloss eveh called Blistex Deep Renewal. My requirement for lip gloss is that it doesn’t smell like root beer or cherry-vanilla swirl, nor will it make me look like I’ve just eaten greasy pork-chops. Now, if Blistex would make a rose-tinted version of Deep Renewal, I’d buy a case of the stuff.

2) Fleece PJ pants are the BEST for winter. They’re soft and warm. I can’t seem to have enough pairs.

3) I thought hitting cougar age would make me more…enlightened. Turns out, I was already enlightened five years ago. Who knew?

4) Patience may be a virtue, but backing away seems to be the catalyst for results. ( I wonder if this is the watched-pot phenomenon?)

5) Friends keep us sane.

How about you guys? Anyone have any more tips to share?

   I’ve learned a few things this year as well!

   1) No matter how late you keep the kids up on a weekend, they will NOT sleep in the next morning.

   2) A person can be trained 15 different ways from Sunday to react to emergency situations, but until an emergency actually happens, you can never tell how a person will react. (I apparently freeze up.)

     #1) And you pay for it later with crankmeister kiddos in the afternoon.

     #2 So true! Nothing like live scenarios to test you.
