Yet I realize that I envy people that can travel a lot.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 13px;\">I found myself looking at a friend&#8217;s picture of their kid and thought to myself &#8220;my boy is cuter than that&#8221;. Gurp. How did I become one of those parents?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 13px;\">I still think words are only as powerful as you make it. Just like those protestors holding signs outside of a movie end up\u00a0publicizing\u00a0the very thing they were trying to quell. Yet I&#8217;m trying to curb my use of the word &#8220;retard&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 13px;\">&#8220;Happy Wife&#8230;happy life&#8221;. \u00a0I still think we need a quaint rhyming male version of this phrase &#8220;Happy Husband&#8230;ummm&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 13px;\">I will forever appreciate <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/MythBusters_(2012_season)#Episode_183_.E2.80.93_Battle_of_the_Sexes\" target=\"_blank\">MythBusters<\/a>\u00a0for confirming that women are bad drivers. Scratch that, based off of my unscientific study of my wife&#8230;women are decent drivers, but horrible at parking.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 13px;\">I discovered that you can really love your family, yet really miss parts of your former bachelor days as well. We&#8217;re not talking about sex either&#8230;I&#8217;d kill for some time to make a big fat unhealthy grilled deli-meat sandwich with bacon, fresh greens and over-easy eggs. Fuck it&#8230;I&#8217;ll add some greasy slabs of Maui portuguese sausages on the side as well. No need to dab away the grease maam.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 13px;\">Thankful to my parents for holing us in their house while we remodel. But also quickly reminded why I needed to move away in the first place so many years ago.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 13px;\">I love my car. But it&#8217;s making me a car poser snob. Even I can&#8217;t stand myself.

And all that after spending $60 just for shipping. Perhaps writing &#8220;Lego&#8221; on the package description wasn&#8217;t the best idea.
