It&#8217;s hard to think about anything other than food. Anything other than my quest for food becomes an irritation. Maybe that Maslow guy was onto something after all.<\/li>\n<li>When I&#8217;m watching or feeding Brenden, I find it difficult to concentrate on anything else. When we&#8217;re at dinner with friends or family and I&#8217;m the one responsible for him, don&#8217;t be surprised if I can&#8217;t have a normal conversation with you. I&#8217;m sorry! It&#8217;s probably hard to understand if you don&#8217;t have kids yourself.<\/li>\n<li>Strangely, some guys are intimidated by smart girls. I dig them. I even married one.<\/li>\n<li>January 18, Jonathan&#8217;s scheduled delivery date, is the same date that my best friend&#8217;s son Lacy IV was born 2 years ago.<\/li>\n<li>I HATE being teased &#8211; not really because it hurts my feelings, but because I never know how to respond. I might think up a good comeback an hour later. In the moment, I just feel stupid and awkward, especially if other people are around waiting for my reaction. Fortunately, my inability to fire back significantly reduces the fun factor, so I don&#8217;t get teased very often.<\/li>\n<li>I am strongly anti-abortion. Life begins at conception, period. I have seen a baby&#8217;s heart beating at 10 weeks old. Yes, unplanned pregnancies are inconvenient, but it&#8217;s not the baby&#8217;s fault the woman doesn&#8217;t want him. Thousands of loving families, including one I know, would give almost anything to adopt the baby she doesn&#8217;t want to raise. <\/li>\n<li>Several years ago my dad and I went skiing in Canada during a freakish cold snap. The resort had an outdoor hot tub that we couldn&#8217;t pass up. Guys had ice on their eyelashes, and their adult beverages turned to slush in their hands. After I got my hair wet, it froze in place. <\/li>\n<li>I finally understand why my parents were so concerned about my safety during my childhood. I feel a tremendous sense of protectiveness over Brenden and search often for potential dangers. When he gets hurt on my watch, I will feel terribly. I&#8217;m thankful that nothing serious has happened so far.`I&#8217;m curious to see how my views will change as he grows older and more independent.<\/li>\n<li>I can pull both shoulders out of socket. No, it doesn&#8217;t hurt. No, it hasn&#8217;t made me any money, either. <\/li>\n<li>I honestly enjoy my job and don&#8217;t mind being at work. I&#8217;m also thankful for the past jobs that I hated because they make me appreciate my current one even more. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let&#8217;s see if I can dig up 10 more&#8230; Like my brother-in-law Phillip, I get grumpy when I&#8217;m hungry.
