Couple More

So I haven't been keeping up with this very well - again! It's so hard to post everyday. But I'm trying. I know I don't have a large readership and I think that keeps me from posting too. But I'll try and do better. We'll see how it goes.

Yesterday I learned that in the Chinese culture, after a woman has a baby, the mom and baby stay home for the entire first 4 weeks.

Today I learned that a laptop computer battery is bullet proof - and no I did not shoot a computer to find out - I watched Mythbusters.

Catch-up

It's been a busy week including some time out of town, but here is what I have learned.

Wednesday: I learned that there is a product on the market right now called a Teacarina. It's a teacup that is also an ocarina.

Thursday: I figured out what I am going to give my brother for Christmas.

Friday: The origin of the word "ruthless" is very interesting. The word means being without the qualities of Ruth from the Bible. Ruth-less. Cool, huh?

Saturday: I learned that Utah State is an agricultural school and that is why they are the Utah Aggies. Also, several states have agricultural schools that have Aggies as the mascot.

Sunday: I learned all about what happened on 9/11/2001 from a wonderful documentary on the National Geographic channel.

Yesterday and Today

Yesterday I learned who John Malcovich was when I watched the movie RED. Great movie by the way. Ryan was so excited that I liked it as much as I did since I'm a girl and it's an action movie. For some reason I love Bruce Willis. I think it's because he was in Sixth Sense and The Whole Nine Yards.

Today I learned that Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret is a really good book. I've heard this before, but I was told again today. Later tonight I think I might start reading it.

Last Song

Today I watched The Last Song for the first time. It was a good movie. I'm glad I was able to learn what that story is. It's sweet.

Fuddruckers

Today I learned that Fuddruckers has a one pound burger and that they bake their own bread.

Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota

Today I learned that Weird Al's song Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota is a parody. I'm not sure what song it is a parody of, but I heard the original on the radio and was like, "hey.....this sounds familiar"

8

Yesterday I watched the movie 8: A Mormon Proposition. I actually fell asleep during it - documentaries aren't exactly known for holding my attention. It was a very interesting movie though. I won't go into detail about it because for some, the debate of gay marriage is a touchy topic. And I'm sure the movie exaggerated some things. It was very eye-opening though. Very interesting.

Today I learned a little more about one of the families I visit for preschool. I can't go into any detail here either. But this blog is only partially about sharing what I've learned. The bigger picture is showing that we do learn something everyday.
