Ten Recent Observations

1. There is no such thing as a "quick trip" to Costco.

2. Even the most mildly humid summer afternoon in the mid-west is still way too humid for this Utah girl (although I do like how soft it makes my skin).

3. There is something disturbing about a self-flushing toilet that does its job with such vigor that your feet get wet.

4. Every unpleasant experience in life is made better if you have Gilmore Girls playing in the background--even getting your teeth drilled at the dentist.

5. Shoe shopping solo is a delight. Shoe shopping with three kids the week before school starts is torture.

6. It seems that not all people own full length mirrors, because if they did I'm certain they would not go out in public wearing what they do. Yikes!

7. You can sometimes find long lost friends just by "google-ing" them.

8. You can't buy love and homegrown tomatoes.

9. It is possible to drink too much Dr. Pepper. (who knew?!)

10. You know your marriage is in a good place if you can spend fourteen straight days with your husband on a stressful business trip and you not only still like him, but you love him even more.

Great observations! I always love to hear or read your perspective on life. You are always spot on, but you can say it in a way that makes me laugh. Thanks for sharing! Love you!

Sarah you are so clever and witty and what you said is so true. I think I would add something to your #10 observation is not only business trips, but moving too. :)

Love ya,
