Things I've Learned

I'm beginning a new label to include in my blog. It is "Things I've Learned". I don't profess to know everything-or even a lot of things. However, I have learned many things in my 45 years on this earth. For example: As a person gets older they lose track of how old they are. Really!!! I always thought it was a joke the person played to not admit how old they are. If you ask how old I am I could say 29. That would be a non truth to cover up the truth. Usually I will tell you I am 46 years old. This would also be a non truth because when I do the subtraction I am really 45. This is actually better than in July when I turned 45. I told everyone I was turning 47. Why can't I figure this out? Most people would remember an age younger. I think I'm a year (or two) older. Weird. Anyway-if someone tells you they don't remember how old they are chances are they are being truthful. Just thought you would like to know this small piece of what I have learned.

Christmas

I always try to buy Christmas decorations in January when they are 50-70% off. Last year I got a singing Christmas tree. I can set it to play songs and blink lights to the music. It is so cool! I think I will post a video of it in a little while.

I am excited to visit my family for Christmas. This driving the distance thing is getting old. Perhaps I should move there sooner than I think possible. HMMM....

Screamers

Do you ever wonder why a grown woman would put herself in the situation where she would lose hearing? Well-in an attempt to give my son a great birthday present I bought concert tickets to a show in Las Vegas. I cannot divulge the artist performing as my son is a little embarrassed that he was one of about three boys in the audience. Of course there were dad's with their girls telling them they owed him big for this, but boys were rare in the audience.

Thank goodness I sat by my son though because at least there was a blank space between the stereo screaming at every beginning, end, and middle of the song. Ugggh! Since I never took a girl to a concert, I didn't realize how high pitched those screams really are. Austin left the concert and said, "Those girls were so loud! That teenager next to me was driving me insane."

I guess he's happy that I'm not a screamer.
