Things I Learned Last Week (2)…

• It’s a lot more difficult to find time to blog with a retired hubby around the house, but that’s okay.  I’d rather talk to hubby than type on a computer.
• “Fifty Shades of Gray”  will most likely show themselves in the mirror each day, if you stop coloring your hair,  however, I also learned that I don’t mind having “fifty shades of gray” as much as I once thought I would.
• Reducing hormone replacement therapy still sucks, even when it’s done slowly.  Sleepless nights and  hot flashes are still no fun.
• Life always seems better on sunny, warm days–even after a sleepless night without hormones.
• Raking leaves is a more fun way to exercise than walking on a treadmill.
• Burning leaves and fallen limbs is a great excuse to have a wiener roast.
• Wiener roasts are more fun when done during my retired hubby’s [former] working hours!
• Wiener roasts are even more special when our daughter and granddaughter join us in the fun.
• Roasted wieners are best when eaten outside on a beautiful, sunny day!
• S’mores make a great dessert after a lunch of roasted wieners.
• Having a retired husband, who likes to cook breakfast, can (and does!) cause weight gain.
• Weight is a lot easier to put on than it is to take off.
• Even though the calendar doesn’t officially say spring, the thermometer, the trees, and the flowers are saying, “It’s spring!”
• Seedlings grow twice as fast when temperatures are warm, therefore, plants quickly outgrow their cups!
• Watching Netflix is more enjoyable than watching recorded satellite television.  You don’t have to fast-forward through a million commercials while watching a show!
• Our favorite show on Netflix, at the moment, is ‘Breaking Bad’.  We’re on Episode Six, Season One.  Only fifty-seven more episodes to go.
• Unfortunately, I learned that three of our favorite new shows–Stalker, Forever, and State of Affairs— are, most likely, going to be cancelled.  C’mon people!
• Cats can be pretty resilient.  Thankfully, Jo Jo’s eye has completely healed, and he seems none the worse for wear.
• Even the best laid plans can (and do!) often go awry.  This happened to us twice, last week.  First, our daughter became ill on the way to eat lunch out-of-town with us.  Next, our youngest grandson, Evan, got sick, forcing his parents to post-pone their weekend visit to our house–again!

That’s some of what I learned last week.  What did you learn?
