Always Learning

I continue to hope that one day I will just be amazing at everything (or, as Ginger says, "Have all the knowledge in the world entrapted in my brain"). Sadly, this will never be true, so here are some things I learned in the past week.

1) It is possible to fail at making pancakes from a mix.

2) When you miss something a lot (like running), even being able to do it to an infinitesimally small degree (like on a treadmill for ten minutes at a time) can be amazing!!

3) I wish that I lived my whole life only 30 seconds from a swimming pool.

4) I can actually get tired of eating pasta.

5) Once, every so often, I wish I picked a job where (a) more people understood what I do, (b) there were more women, and (c) I was close enough to my old friends that I didn't have to make new ones.

6) Even with all the things in number 5, I still love what I am doing.

7) I really really want to go out to an oil rig right now.

8) There are decent romantic comedies out there. Shocker, I know.

9) I miss being there for mum's birthday, mother's day, father's day, 4th of July, etc. I guess missing family holidays is the downside to being older :(

10) It is a lot more difficult for me to memorize stuff now that it was when I was Junior in high school.

Love you.
