Life Lessons

I was twittering for an idea to blog about and reading blogs when I found this post and this post and decided to indiscriminately steal the idea. I may be way over 25, but here is what I have learned in my 33 years.
1. Be a good friend. Even if you are a better friend to them then they are to you, it will be worth it in the end.
2. Be true to yourself.
3. Accessorize.
4. There are boys you date and boys you marry. You can date a boy you marry but don't ever marry a boy you date. It will not end well.
5. Have a good work ethic.
6. If you don't think it looks good on you, don't buy it. Even if everyone in the room is telling you it looks good on you, you will never wear it.
7. You know your wedding dress when you find it. You do not have to go to 10 more stores and look at 100 more dresses.
8. Don't discount an entire genre of music. I say I hate Country music but I loved the County song my friends danced to at their wedding this weekend.
9. Pretty people also have problems. I used to never believe this but I've found it to be true.
10. Figure out what makes you happy and do it. Be it blogging, reading, knitting, exercising, find something you love to do and make time for it, even if it means time away from your spouse and kids. You will be happier.
11. Date your spouse. Make time for each other. Leave the kids at home, and get out! At least once a month.
12. Don't buy uncomfortable shoes, even if they are adorable and match your outfit perfectly. It's not worth the pain.
