Things I learned this week…

• When inspired, Americans can be called to action.
• No matter who is elected to run the US, God is still in control. (I already knew this, but I had to remind myself.)
• I can communicate with a Swedish doughnut-maker.
• Christian does not equal Republican.
• My snuggly kitten is the reason it is so hard to get out of bed in the morning.
• Pineapple salsa ROCKS.
• Sometimes, it is okay to just let a fever run its course.
• Pumpkin crisp gives me heartburn.
• You can’t argue with crazy.
• Don’t click on that Facebook video sent to you by your friend unless you *know* they sent it to you. (Some lessons don’t have to be learned the hard way.)
• Heartburn is totally worth the price of devouring pumpkin crisp.
• You can be refreshed by taking time to simply enjoy the colors of fall.
• You can get some really good deals by watching grocery store ads and using coupons.
• If your team is down 21-3 in the 2nd quarter, don’t give up hope.  They still may win it.
• When someone shows you who they are, believe them.
• The best of friends can talk for hours about egg nog and the categorization of foods.
• Pumpkin is a fruit. (Again, something I knew, but got to share it with the aforementioned friends.)
• A Facebook status may bring on more discussion than you had planned.
• It is better to lose sleep than miss the speeches from two impressive men.
• Don’t feed the ducks.
