I have made some incredibly important discoveries today, discoveries which I believe have implications reaching far beyond simply my day today. Possibly these discoveries might change my entire outlook on life.
Today I discovered the following:
1. I am completely terrified of my 89-year-old co-worker. She has that indefinable confidence that immediately convinces me that yes she does know everything, and yes she does deserve to be in charge of nothing less that the entire universe. AND she could tell me to jump off a cliff and I should - and would - do it with a smile on my face.
2. Working with my older brother and sister was a really, REALLY insane idea. Even if it's only for the summer. In some cases one summer can feel as long as a year, or possibly even two.
3. Driving on the highway with all the windows down is only a good idea when I have my hair pulled back. Otherwise, the conflicting wind currents just might (most likely will) blow all my hair straight over my eyes, thus creating an extremely not-so-safe situation.
4. Agreeing to play flute for Ali's wedding was a really, really stupid idea. What exactly is the dress code for this type of thing? I can't look as nice as the bridesmaids, cause when I'm playing, everyone's supposed to be looking at THEM, not at the incredible hotness that is me. AND this means I'll have to wear uncomfortable shoes through the entire wedding ceremony; I won't be able to slip them off and hide them under my pew/chair like normal.
5. Allowing Benjamin (2-and-a-half-year-old nephew) to stuff wadded paper bookmarks into his mouth is NOT funny, but rather extremely dangerous and bad. If I don't want to become known as the stupid aunt who lets the small children almost kill themselves while I simply sit back and laugh, I must be more vigilant in the future.
These are all incredibly important things I learned today. If only every day brought me such gems of wisdom. :S
