Did you know...?

...that constantly refreshing your email doesn't make the reply you're waiting for arrive any faster?

...that when you're really concentrating on something (like the best way to buy a plane ticket) little things in your usual routine (like closing the bathroom door) may be forgotten and lead to embarrassment?

...that sucky work permeates suckiness into every other aspect of your life?

...that rain + dirt = mud and mud + dog = dirty house?

...that you can call someone on a whim, and as soon as the phone begins ringing wish you hadn't called at all... but THEN have a conversation that brightens your entire day?

...that laundry doesn't do itself?

...that paying off a credit card is one of the sweetest feelings ever!! (It's unfortunate that sometimes you can't celebrate by buying yourself something pretty.)

...that sometimes girls just need to cry. Boys, sometimes the reason is "nothing" and sometimes it's "everything." Either way it won't make sense to you, so just accept it and move on.

...that the answer to every single life question can be found in an episode of 'Friends?'

...that sometimes the answers to your problems can be found at the bottom of a glass of red wine, and other times at the bottom of a vanilla milkshake?

...that sometimes looking hot in that fitted outfit just isn't worth giving up the comfort of sweatpants?

What do you know? (Favorites will be added as a post publication edit.)

I never found any answers at the bottom of a glass of beer.

Maybe the problem was that I kept looking.

I'm with you on the vanilla milkshake, but for me I'd also add or a pint of "premium" ice cream.

I love that post! You are truly brilliant! I think you should write as many of those as you can and publish a book!
