Top Ramen
Don’t you hate when you pour out too much water from your Top Ramen and then you are stuck with noodles and overpowering powder?

Lesson from break:
Never underestimate what a 9 and an 11-year- old can re-teach you. I’m pretty sure they’re still better at chopping wood than me and one of them can’t even lift the maul…

A lot to learn
I thought it was funny when the little kid at the Nike store asked his dad how much a piece of Michael Jordan’s hair would cost.

Stay strong
My heart goes out to the women of Kappa Alpha Theta.

I have to come back?
During the break I house/dog sat for some friends in an amazing house. I could definitely get used to my own hot tub every night.

Open your eyes
My nephew is 2 and he marvels at everything in the world around him — the plate of food in front of him during dinner, the softness of a cat’s fur and the pictures and words in a book. I wish I could still appreciate everything the way he does and marvel in the everyday occurrences that are taken for granted.
