Busy Month at the Casa

Well the holidays are over, here are the things I learned:

1. My aunt falls asleep anytime she's in a seat in a dark theater. She even fell asleep in Stomp!
2. Windshield wipers are very fragile. And necessary. In blizzards.
3. If you see a newyear's party through the window outside and it looks like five people standing swaying gently in the middle of an empty room, cut and RUN. (even if the doorbell has already been rung.)
4. It is now called "Carson's countdown." Oh and I don't know any popular "bands."
5. Being 27 is like being 26, except WAY OLDER.
6. Babies like mirrors.
7. If you get too much chocolate, put it all in a wooden trunk so you forget about it for awhile. Then pull it out after dinner when you have guests over.
8. How to make napkin ears
9. The Holidaze are actually like three weeks long.
10. Spill the wine waitresses have heard the joke.
11. Michigan has some very racist names for cookies.
12. Detroit is the rape capital of the world.
13. Michigan is known for its scrapbooking conventions.
14. The suburbs of Chicago are worse than the suburbs of other places for the following reasons: The people, the restaurants, and the highway webs of torture. Oh and the tolls.
15. If you are playing a masked character and your mask falls off, it is acceptable to use the tongue to push it back on.
16. There is at least one person out there who will lie to get a discount, and would like a refund of $6 on December 26, smack dab in the middle of the season of giving.
17. Doggie poops stay here. The frozen drifts keep them cold. Snow will melt away. A haiku!
