When I was a kid, I thought 40 was as close to death as one could be without actually being, you know, dead.
That was when I looked like this.
But now I'm older and maybe just a teeny bit wiser. (I'm typing this while I listen to my 40TH BIRTHDAY EXTRAVAGANZA totally awesome playlist. I may or may not be singing along. Pretend you like it. Go on, it's a gift for me.)
THINGS I HAVE LEARNED IN MY 40 (!!!) YEARS ON THIS EARTH
--- Never blow dry your hair when it's windy and/or rainy outside, for you've just wasted an hour of time
--- Sport -- or exercise -- is the best way for me to get my head clear
--- When your car gas tank registers empty, it may go another 50 miles -- or not at all
--- Don't judge people by their appearance
--- I'd better think before I speak, for I often have to eat those same words
--- Embarrassment is temporary
--- I can find GREAT stuff at the thrift store -- and total junk
--- My first thought is usually the one I should go with -- trust my instincts
--- All of the times I thought I'd die from pain, heartbreak or frustration -- I didn't
--- I'm stronger and more capable than I ever thought
--- Never be afraid to be myself
--- If I don't try, I'll never know
--- I have much less patience than I EVER thought I'd have
--- A lot of troubles in life can be cured with more sleep
--- It's no use crying over spilt milk
--- Never, ever write about people unless you'd tell them to their face
--- The truth hurts, but sometimes you need to hear it
--- Don't take yourself so seriously
--- Dance whenever you hear music and sing along as often as possible
--- But never, ever karaoke, for you don't know who has a video camera -- and the Internet is FOREVER
--- When in doubt, choose the bigger drink
--- And eat the cupcake
--- Have fun. Above all, have fun.
