Learn new things every day...

So...normally I'm pretty bad at learning something new every day. It would be fun to, but it just doesn't happen. So then, on days like today, I need to make up for other days when I don't learn anything. Today I learned:

How to golf: My brother was down and gave me some pointers on how to hold the club (I know...really starting from scratch), where on the club to hit the ball, correct posture, how to come close but still miss bystanders, etc. All the critical things that you need to know to have a successful golf game. Thanks Andrew!

How to change the oil in my car: Again thanks to Andrew, I learned to change the oil in our car. I never knew it was so easy! Warm up the engine...unscrew the plug...let the oil drain...take off the oil filter...let that drain...put the plug back in...put on the new oil filter...fill with oil...start car for 10-ish seconds to get everything running again...check oil level...clean up. Done. I'm pretty excited about this newfound skill...

I also bbq'd burgers today, which is something that I haven't done since high school. Nathan usually does the bbq-ing in our household, and I'd heard that you never infringe on a man's grill. So I don't infringe until my hubby is 20 hours away at a Nascar race! Then I just need a quick, easy meal! So that was kinda learning, but mostly just doing something that I don't normally do...which is also something that is fun to do every once in a while. So that was my day. It was a beautiful day. So much learning...so much bbq-ing. Mmm-hmm!
