Things I've Learned / Re-Learned In The Past Week

• Eating something called a burrito inferno and washing it down w/ 2 margaritas is a terrible, terrible thing to do the night before an early morning trail race.
• Aa should get some kind of prize or medal for his listening / making me feel better skills. (What about the Man Booker Prize? Nobody cares about that one. Can we take that over?)
• I am not, by nature, a "neat" or "organized" person. But if I don't have like a baseline of order in the house, I get cranky.
• My baseline of order is a bed with sheets and blankets that are not all balled up, cleared and cleaned kitchen counters, swept floors, and relatively clear surfaces in the dining and living rooms.
• Mark Bittman is an effing genius.
• I really need to get better about saying no.
• I am much happier thinking about what my life is than what it isn't.
• It is almost always better to do than not do. Even with wedding planning.
• Indian food is better spicy, except for navratan korma.
