Life Lesson # 40

A clean start is sometimes just what the doctor ordered. Trust me, I've done this 3-4 times already.

Life Lesson #17

For every 3 books you read from your usual genre, read one from a completely different one and one non-fiction. You might learn something, and if not, at least you look smart reading it.

Life Lesson # 21

Coddle your inner child and don't be afraid to bribe her. We all have to do things we don't want to do. It helps knowing a new iPod shuffle, Dairy Queen, and/or that new coffeemaker await you at the end.

Life Lesson #3

Make sure there is no hard evidence - written or photographic. And no witnesses who have less to lose than you.

Life Lesson #9

So this isn't really a life lesson, except to remind you to always make sure you either have your keys or the door doesn't lock behind you. Otherwise you may be forced to climb out a window, over a 6-foot wooden fence, and through a dog door to get back into the house. I'm just saying.

Life Lesson #99

Sometimes when you think your life sucks, its just the jet lag talking.

Life Lesson #31

There are times in your life when you'll pause, take a look around you, and wonder "Is this really my life?" Enjoy these moments because not everyone has them. It also means you're doing something right. Unless of course you're in TSA custody/an unknown city/lost your phone and ID/have a mysterious black eye (not that these examples refer to me in any way). In these cases, you've probably done something wrong, but don't worry, it'll eventually be a funny story which is sometimes just as important.
