28 Things

Today I am turning the big two eight. As I officially move into my late twenties, I have decided to reflect on things I have learned throughout my twenty-eight years.

1. I have learned how to make delicious oatmeal chocolate chip walnut cookies.
2. I can not brush my teeth without ending up with toothpaste all over my face no matter how hard I try.
3. Rattlesnake isn't a totally revolting meat.
   
4. In a car vs. marta battle; the car always wins.
5. I can run 13.1 miles as long as I can take it slow.
6. When trying to be health conscious it's not really a good idea in all recipes to substitute apple sauce for butter, no matter how many cookbooks endorse this. Right, Elizabeth?
7. Travel is great as long as you have home as the final destination.
   

I wish my stuffed animals did this

Heard on KUOW today: "Today's day sponsors are lion and polar bear wishing Rosa a happy 9th birthday."

National Cathedral

I was in Washington DC over the weekend and visited the National Cathedral for the first time. I found the whole building breathtaking. Growing up in Seattle I haven't seen many buildings of such grand scale.

Flexible and Mellow

Today I was standing in line at Trader Joe's and the girl in front of me in line was flirting with the checker. She was telling him how she was really into yoga and had just been to a great class. He said he'd never tried yoga, but he thought he would be good at it because he was very flexible. She said, "Oh yeah?" He said, "Yeah, I'm very flexible and mellow."

It was then my turn to check out and they both turned towards me; I made the mistake of saying the first thing that popped into my head. "Wow, that sounds like quite the personal ad."

Well Played, Internets, Well Played
