What I know so far

So another year, another birthday has flown past. But in the many, many, many years I have lived this is some of what I have learned.

1) The world is always best when seen with a buddy

2) When I'm laughing at someone, best make sure it's me.

3) Drama comes when invited. Will I watch it pass, or become lead actress?

4) Some things don't get better with age. Temper tantrums? Kids screaming and throwing themselves on the ground isn't cute. Neither is a 28 year old doing it.

5) When I get to thinking I am all that, all I need to do is go back through the old yearbooks. That'll keep the old ego in check.

6) I can have my cake and eat it too. However, as I age, it sticks with me longer.

7) I like the world better through coffee eyes. The world likes me better that way too.

8) A chance to sleep? Take it. Sleep is more elusive in these 'midday' years of life.

9) PB and J is good food. (So there Top Chef!)

10) Do not, under any circumstances, tell someone they are 'hot' if you have no intentions of doing anything about that hotness. What a waste of breath.

11) Swinging on the playground swings is really a good workout.

12) Dressing up always makes you feel better. Even if it's midnight and you are just running to Dunkin' Donuts to get over heartbreak.

13) Tell people the good stuff. I'll never regret sharing my blessings.

And another thing I learned....
14) We ALL have cooties at one time or another. Get over it!
