What I Learned This Week - 12/13/13

1.  No, I don’t know why the numbering is stripped out of these lists only on the phone Facebook apps.
2. A contractor told me I was the most intimidating person in a meeting they had ever met. He’s 6’-5”. Yes, I’m typing this with a smug look on my face.
3. My oldest daughter has a unique understanding of the world. I overheard her explaining how the house rules work as they relate to the government, “…it’s like if we lie to the government, it's a felony – you can go to jail, but if they lie to us it’s called politics.”
4. No matter how comfy my winter socks are, nothing ruins the experience of wearing them faster than stepping into an unsuspecting wet spot.
5. I will purchase an Apple product when they make the iLightsaber.
6. The best part about this week’s snow and ice is releasing my inner stunt driver when entering or leaving my subdivision. 
7. I get a lot of snarky comments when I grab my bag and head to the gym at work, but the one that made me actually laugh this week was, “damn I forgot to go workout this morning –that makes 11 years in a row!”
8. I'm fairly confident that the only reason my dogs want back inside is so they immediately whine to go outside.
9. I’m officially Swype dependent. I can no longer type on small screen keyboards without this keyboard tool.
10. The Pope is selling his Harley. Let that sink in.
11. I predict the next movie that will see considerable play with my kids and their friends is, “Mega Shark Vs. Mecha Shark”. Starring Debbie Gibson what’s not to love?
12. I have heard more references to the Atari Classic arcade game, “Yar’s Revenge” this week than I have since it came out in 1982.
13. The video game “Doom” turned twenty years old this week. Everything I know about video card refresh rates is because of some version of that stupid game.
14. My favorite joke of the week from my kids, "What did the blanket say when it fell off the bed? Oh Sheet"
15. I met an adult that had no idea what "fun dip" was. This person doesn't drink or smoke (and not for religious or health reasons). I think I may see a connection.
