I don't think April filled me with any life-altering knowledge, but I did pick up a few bits and pieces of information, so here you go! Here are the things I learned in April!
1. Snow is not a funny April Fools joke.
Thankfully, April Fools Day got a bit lost in the shuffle this year, since it fell the same day as Easter. I actually don't like practical jokes, so that is never my favorite day of the year. But what was especially NOT funny was the five or six inches of snow that fell that night. Not a funny joke!! ;) Wasn't funny any of the rest of the weekends that brought snow this month, either!
2. Julie on Matlock is Julie MARCH, not Julie MARSH.
Yes, it's true. Ryan and I are Matlock junkies. We may or may not have DVR'd all the shows so we can watch all the seasons straight through. During one episode the other day, Julie (the redhead) said her name very slowly, and Ryan and I just stared at each other. Did she say March? All this time we thought her last name was Marsh! Whoopsie!
3. I've missed garage sales.
I was driving the kids to school one day this month and saw a sign for a garage sale, and I nearly decided to declare my own field trip for the three of us. I went to several sales last summer and have apparently really missed them, because that little sign made my heart giddy!
4. "Our" coffee shop is closing...temporarily.
While we often go to Starbucks, because we have gift cards, there is a little local coffee shop near us that we enjoy visiting. We knew they were in the process of building a new building, but we did not know their lease was up where they have been, and they have to get out before the new building is done. So we learned this month they're closing temporarily.
5. Sally Hansen makes gel polish.
Back when I worked at the station, Lynne gave me some bottles of Sally Hansen's (then) new "gel" polish. It was supposed to function with all the greatness and longevity of real gel polish without all the curing beneath a light. Did. Not. Work. On. Me. At. All. Chipped in a day flat. Smudged like crazy. But this month I learned they also have a line of actual gel polish! Like the curing-beneath-a-light kind! Who knew? I haven't tried it yet, but I found it at Meijer, so I sure will try it!
6. You're supposed to drive at 9 and 3, not 10 and 2.

6. You're supposed to drive at 9 and 3, not 10 and 2.
Apparently this information is a few years old, but I just learned it this month! When I took driver's ed, I was taught to grip the wheel at 10 and 2, but apparently now "they" say to use 9 and 3! I figure I'm okay since I normally drive at 6 (ha!) but that was brand new for me!
So there you go! Things I learned in April!

oy was April cold and wet! I totally drive at 6 too!
You TOTALLY win for cold and wet April. I hope May is much kinder to you!! Fist bump for fellow 6 driving!
10 and 2 is old school, prior to air bags. 9 and 3 is better if your vehicle has air bags because of the way your arms would get injured or thrown into your face if the air bags deploy and your hands are at 10 and 2. I had this discussion when my son was going through drivers education a few years ago. =)
