This weekend, I had no real plans, but I ended up learning a few things about myself. In no particular order:
1. I have the ability to run up a rocky incline through thorny bushes quicker than I would have thought, in order to escape a swarm of little black bugs attacking my face, and only realize after the fact, I am covered in thorns.
2. There is absolutely no way I would ever survive on the show Naked and Afraid.
3. I do not like Ugli fruit.
4. Although I was very skeptical about spending a significant amount of money on pure hiking shoes, because they have no real aesthetic value to me, I am very grateful I did. They may be the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned, and helped me immensely in my escape from the black bugs.
5. I have lived in this city 13 years and am just now experiencing some of it's best beauty, thanks to my outdoors man boyfriend.
6. When told the apartment below me is having plumbing issues and I cannot use the bathroom or run the shower in my apartment, I have never felt dirtier or had to go to the bathroom more than in that time period my entire life.
7. I really need a place where I can have a dog. I need a dog in my life.
8. If I see the Cox cable commercial about the catchphrase, "Can't get that with satellite." I will spend the rest of the day sporadically shouting out, "Can't get that with satellite, WHAT!"
