...from living in Texas (just off the top of my head).
1) Homemade falafel makes your apartment (and you) smell really funky. If you are going to cook it, leave the windows and doors open and allow time for a shower.
2) Southeast Texas is ridiculously hot and humid. It steams up your windows and your sunglasses when you walk out the door of a cool building.
3) Living under the guidelines of a budget is really really hard.
4) I really really like baseball. I mean, I'd always enjoyed the sport, but now I'm tempted to step up my fan game and actually follow it when I'm not at the ballpark.
5) If you're playing Trivial Pursuit Guys vs. Gals style and decide that you're going to prevent the ladies from winning by pulling a sports question, make sure it's not a question about Tigers Stadium with a good little Michigan girl in the room.
6) Everything is not only bigger in Texas, but better. According to Lauren.
7) You really can survive Texas heat without an air conditioned car. You just wear less clothing and stay hydrated. And plan your trips around available showers.
8) Life is hard. Sometimes your job is hard. Sometimes it can change, and sometimes it can't. And while I hate to admit it, they might be right in saying that you have to change your perspective on it. I'm not giving up on pushing this committee, but I'm willing to try a new approach.
I'm off to eat a little leftover falafel, watch the Astros whomp on the Washington Nationals with Josie and Maggie, and take A.J. up on the offer of an appletini before he heads back to Washington. Then, tomorrow it's monkey bread, a river party, and welcoming our friends back from Kenya!
Have a fantastic weekend!
