Lessons learned

1. Hide suckers from Emmy's view.
2. Buy your husband whatever it is that he wants for his birthday dinner. Remind self that it is not oneself's birthday meal, so it doesn't matter so much what oneself hunks about chosen meal.
3. Don't eat nachos from the BOK and NOT expect to have burps later.
4. An overly tired toddler is NOT fun.
5. Lastly, but not the least at all, when NCAA tournament rolls into town again, buy tickets earlier so I am not stuck here again:





6. Oh, one more lesson. If you take a book to an NCAA basketball event, know that some person behind you might take a picture of you because you look ridiculous.
