A Month of Lessons Learned

For the month of November, many a facebook user posted daily things they were thankful for. Blah! I decided to mix it up a bit and post a daily lesson learned, feeling that this would be much more beneficial for those around me in that they could learn from what I was learning each day during the month. Below are those daily posts compiled into a single list of 30 lessons learned:

1. Baked potatoes are not a car food
2. Chocolate chocolate donuts - definitely not worth the calories
