What I Learned in 2007 (in no particular order)

• Dance. Somebody has to and it might as well be you.

• It doesn't matter how big the vet bill is. Boom is worth it.

• I couldn't space my blog entries evenly if my life depended upon it.

• Dizzy is not fun.
  


• I can't be responsible for it all. Step back, sit down, and let somebody else deal.

• Speeding is expensive. I should do it more infrequently and cautiously.

• Tim Gunn might be right. In more instances, I should try to "make it work."

• Sleep is important.

• There are some wonderfully unique people blogging -- Thanks, Wombat, Crankster, Firefly, Camel, Ahamos, Cygirl, March to the Sea, Nat Dickinson, Phil Hansen.

• Cafe Bustelo makes work more tolerable.

• Never buy anything from an adult toy party that you didn't actually see. Trust me, they CAN be too big. And too purple.




• 15 minutes on the elliptical will not kill me. Even worse news -- 48 minutes on the elliptical won't kill me.




• The 17th Street Farmer's Market ROCKS on Saturday morning. Come back summer!




• $10 earrings can make me smile for years.




• I enjoy writing, even if nobody reads it.




• Don't drink 6 beers, 1 shot of tequila, and 2 margarita pints, even if you are walking home. (If you do, be prepared to wake up on the couch, half-dressed, and liberally coated with sick.)



• I am not too old for all day music festivals.




• I have wonderful friends and I should tell them that more often.




• I get blushes (blog crushes) way, way, way too easily.




• Some people will just never understand me. Try not to work for these people.



• Some people will get me instantly. Stay close to these people.



• It ain't over even when the door is shut, the blinds are pulled, and the drinks are poured. Enjoy the peace while you have it.

• A good therapist is invaluable. Thanks, CT!

• A little optimism is o.k. 2008 is going to be THE YEAR.

Tell all your single friends, 365 more days of potential EVERYTHING await!
