5 Things I’ve Learned This Autumn

|

1. MOE turned into a gorilla. An angry gorilla who doesn’t want me to sleep more than 3-4 hours a night.

That smile is just to lure me in.

What? You’re saying that I’m holding a yellow rectangle in the picture above because I copied my cartoon from the butter disaster post of 2012 and then just reversed it? Well … maybe.

2. Despite the giant primate, I can still manage to squeeze in a little fun now and then.

If you are following the THIH Facebook page, you saw this post:

Amidst the case studies and discussions of target markets, it was nice to think about nutrition for approximately 5 minutes and 29 seconds.

3. I miss knitting.

A project for my best friend’s new arrival has been languishing on my needles for the past two months (not the one in the picture above). I think I knit one row about three weeks ago before remembering I still had an accounting assignment due before midnight.

4. After a certain age, birthdays don’t mean as much anymore.

I won’t tell you how old I am now, but this and this. Also, the Life List is way out of date.

5. Snatch the beautiful moments while you can … even at 3:47 am.

During the month of October, we mere mortals on Earth were treated to two celestial phenomena: a total lunar eclipse in the wee hours of October 8th (pictures above) and a partial solar eclipse on October 23rd (pictures below).

  1. I agree with you on the birthday sentiment. I still cannot get the video to play. Something’s wrong with that page.

    1. Sorry to hear that, Laz! I’ve heard from a few people that the video won’t play in Chrome and another browser (I forget which). Firefox seems to work. Totally understand if you don’t want to download another browser, though 🙂

  2. 1. That is one big monkey. I hope it lets you sleep more.
    2. Cool!
    3. Sad. 🙁 I’m working on a Christmas present for my nephew. I’ve never before successfully made a sweater, so hopefully it will work! At least I still have enough time if I need to get help with it.
    4. I’m sorry I missed it. That’s what happens when I don’t look at my calendar. I hope it was happy!
    5. Nice photos!
