today i learned what sagacity means! we're doing madlib rsvps and my grandparents wished us many years of "sagacity and passion."
other wishes of the day were health, joy, laughter, discovery, flexibility, and friendship.
maybe we should make a word cloud...
(eta: we're totally doing a word cloud. maybe it'll be an anniversary present.)

Today I learned that there's such a thing as Cat Writers and they even have an association -
http://www.catwriters.org/
Who knew? I found out about it through regretsy.

Today I learned that when you call Medieval Times, they say "my lord" or "my lady" when addressing you, even when doing such anachronistic things as taking your credit card number and email address to make a reservation. Though I suppose talking on the phone is anachronism enough.

I finally googled rubbing alcohol (having seen it referenced all over the internet and never known what it was), and it turns out it's (more or less) the same as surgical spirit. I always thought I was just ignorant about cleaning products; turns out, it's just a dialect thing!

| I learned today what an episiotomy is... I work in a women's shelter and had to develop a birth plan with one of the women. Both of us wanted to close that google images screen really quickly! |

I'm sorry for your visual trauma, but reading that made me laugh so much, which I needed.
