Friday Five: Lessons
Posted May 22nd, 2009 by Kimberly DowdEven though I have much to write about, here’s a Friday Five interlude!
1. What kind of out-of-school lessons did you take as a kid?
I failed swim lessons at the YMCA when I was 10. I don’t wanna talk about that. But everything else was in-school.
2. What valuable lesson did you learn this past week?
On Sunday night, our last night in WDW, it rained. No, it POURED. Thunder, lightning, the whole kit’n'caboodle. We were at the Magic Kingdom because it was open until midnight for those who stayed on property.* I was a bit bummed, but we stuck it out and you know what happened?
“It quit raining!” the blog readers say in unison.
No, it still poured like a mofo. But people began to give up and leave the park in droves. The place was practically empty and we walked onto every attraction. Even Buzz Lightyear. So tough out the rain and good things will happen.
3. Who in your life really needs to be taught a lesson?
Heh. Honestly, Friday five…you want us all to get into trouble, don’t you? I’m not answering this one.
4. What kinds of lessons would you love to have a private teacher for right now?
A personal trainer would be fantastic. But a compassionate one who understands all I do is sit all day and I have the athletic prowess and grace of a puppy with its head stuck in a bucket.
5. What steps have you taken to lessen the impact of these rough economic times?
I clip more coupons and buy more store brand merchandise. I tweeze my brows instead of waxing. I dye and cut my own hair. And I don’t charge a damn thing anymore, instead choosing to pay off my debt.
*Hey, Disney, bring back the wristbands, please! It’s much easier to flash a wristband than to show room keys at every ride. I know you’re trying to save money, but still.
