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.

Forgot Yesterday

I'm already falling behind!

Yesterday I watched the movies Child's Play for the first time. I now know first hand who Chuckie is.

Today I learned what time my work meeting on Friday is. Much better than the 18 hour notice they sometimes give. What if I had kids and needed a babysitter?? 18 hours notice is not enough!!

Engagement

Today I learned that my good friend Sarah - mentioned here - is now engaged!! I am so excited and happy for her!!!! I wish Sarah and Chris much happiness.

Deaths are Sad

Today I learned that a neighbor's husband recently died. I don't know this neighbor, but she is the mother of young children and her husband got cancer and died pretty quickly. It made me sad to hear this even though I have never even met this neighbor.

Ketchup and Fries

What came first? The ketchup or the french fry? They were actually first made around the same time - late 17th century. But they were not invented together nor put together until much later.

Scissors

Today I learned that despite knowing the proper way to hold and use scissors, I still instinctively do it incorrectly. I'm such a weirdo.

Sister or Cousin

Today I learned that one of my students is an only child. I thought he had a little sister. In fact, I have met said little sister. Turns out little sister is actually little cousin.

I am so neglectful

I have been so neglectful of this blog. I feel like such a slacker. If this blog were a pet fish, it would be long dead and gone.
*insert tear for the sad, dead fish soul of my blog*
I am going to try and revive this blog and make it even better than it was before. Feel free to comment with anything you have learned.
And to start of this new beginning:
Today I learned a great route to use for walking around the neighborhood near the school I work at so as to get some exercise in while on my breaks. Two laps around the block takes me 30 minutes (my break time). So hopefully the weather will stay nice long enough that I can utilize this useful information and get back to loosing a little weight before the holidays set it.
Thanks for reading!!!!!
