Today I learned...

... a couple definitions of words that I didn't know the meaning of.  1. Formidable - Awe inspiring, or to arouse fear.  2. Abate - To lessen or reduce.
... how to drive a ride-on lawnmower.
... that having a wonderful dream is actually a nightmare when you wake to realize it was just a dream.  I had a terrible nightmare last night that my bf's permanent residency card came in time for us to make it to my brothers wedding in Cuba next week.  It hasn't happened.
