after 24 years...

On the eve of my 24th birthday, I thought I would pass along some helpful hints I've picked up along the way in the form of a top ten list. Thankfully, these tips are certainly NOT indicative of everything I've learned or gleaned in the last 24 years, but they are clearly useful nonetheless...

10) If your chapstick has been in your hot car all day, be sure to hold it upright when you take the lid off. Otherwise, you will most likely be splattered with melted chap-goo.

9) When leaving your car in a parking garage/structure, be sure to write the location of your car on your parking ticket

8) After clicking "print," always double check to be sure your document has in fact printed before closing it...unless, of course, you are smart enough to save it first.

7) Keep a napkin supply stashed in your glove box. You NEVER know when you will need it. (another good thing to keep in your glove box--a city map)

6) Always check the expiration date on any cans or bottles of soda that you buy. There is nothing worse than getting back to your car and taking a drink, only to find it expired and flat.

5) Don't be afraid to buy reduced fat Wheat Thins. They taste EXACTLY the same as the regular ones.

4) Even though every number you'll ever need is in your cell phone, memorize a couple of important ones. You never know when you'll be caught in an emergency without your phone handy.

3) Check to make sure you have all the necessary ingredients on hand BEFORE you begin a recipe.

2) A person can never have too many books. If this person is lucky, like I hope to be one day, these books will be organized in a personal library with a sliding ladder.

1) It is absolutely impossible to overestimate the importance of perspective.

I want a library with a sliding ladder too!!!! Although, moving what is the start of my library has proven quite a task - so many boxes, all so heavy!
