Weekend Wisdom

Weekend Wisdom is a series that runs every Monday. We've had three days to make mistakes, come to realizations and learn new things. This series allows us to share those insights with others. Please leave your amusing, inspirational, useful and just plain hilarious 'weekend wisdom' in the comments section below.


Did you have a good weekend? I did. Full of reading, writing, friends, moving, Madison. (Okay... the moving part wasn't so much fun, but  ya gotta do what ya gotta do).


So here's my weekend wisdom! (and I'm not sure why blogger is doing this weird highlighting thing...)










Singing in the grocery store will get you weird looks. 


Do I care? Mmmm, not so much. But I just thought I would let you know ;) 

If you're looking for a way to get into, or stay in shape, I suggest joining a soccer team. I've played soccer since I was five but a number of people in my soccer club had never played before they joined. Soccer is very easy to learn and you have around twenty other people on your team, which makes for great camaraderie.  So if you're looking for something, I highly recommend checking out your local soccer club.


What's your wisdom from the weekend??

Happy Monday!


Are you wiser now than you were on Friday?


I took my little sister (from the Big Brothers Big Sisters program) to see Cars 2 last week.

It was a really cute movie. I might have laughed more than she did... but that's not surprising as I laugh a lot.


Anyways... we got some popcorn to share. I hadn't eaten movie theater popcorn in... I don't know how long. When the movie was done I looked down and I had eaten half the large bucket. And I got so sick the next day.

My wisdom: DON'T get a huge tub of movie theater popcorn to share with an eight-year-old. She's only going to have a few handfuls in between her twizzlers and you'll mindlessly eat the rest, getting yourself sick. Just buy the small one :)


My other bit of wisdom:


Get to a water park really early and grab a spot that will have shade all day. You might think you want to get a really killer tan, and that shade is for suckers, but trust me, you'll want this place of respite during the day.

More to come on 'The Waterpark Capital of the World' later this week.

So now, for a little bit of my weekend wisdom.


Don't give your dog a treat she's never had before, just before you leave for the day. You might find that it doesn't agree with her stomach and she'll spend the whole day getting rid of it on your carpet...

But how could you get mad at this face, especially when it was my fault...

Don't rock out to 'Livin' La Vida Loca', thinking about eighth grade dances, while at Spin Class. You may just shimmy right off your bike and onto the floor... not that I did that this morning or anything.
