Thursday 13...

So, after so browsing around other blogs, i stumbled upon something i thought would be fun to try. It's called Thursday 13. Every thursday, you make a list of 13 things...anything really. It could be 13 of your favorite shows, 13 of your favorite recipies...you see where i'm going with this, right?
So this week, to kick off my new favorite thing for Thursday's, i bring you:
Stacey's 13 life lessons

1. Never pass up an opportunity to pee. This is one of the most important things anyone can learn. I found this lesson to be MOST valuable when i was pregnant, as there were days when i felt i could pee every 10 minutes.


2. Everyone seems normal, until you get to know them.


3. If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You have another chance! Don't blow it.


4. Learn to pick your battles. Ask yourself "Will this matter in a year/month/week/day?"


5. You only need 2 tools: WD 40 and tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD 40. If it moves and it shouldn't, use the tape.


6. The 5 most important words for a healthy relationship are "I appologize" and "You are right". But don't just say them to say them, you actually have to mean them.


7. If he/she says you are too good for them, BELIEVE THEM!! And never let anyone put you down, for any reason. There is a lid for every pot out there, sometimes it just takes a while to find it.


8. Never give yourself a haircut after 8 beers, or 3 margarita's, or 5 shots. Let's face it, how about you just never give yourself a trim/haircut. We already know it's going to come out badly, so save yourself the hat wearing for a month.

9. Be really good to your family and/or your friends. You never know when you're going to need them to empty your bedpan, or wipe drool from your chin.

10. When you make a mistake, say your sorry right away. The longer you wait, the harder it's going to be to get back where you started. And don't just say you're sorry to say it, you really have to mean it.

11. Living well is really the best revenge. Being miserable because of a bad or former relationship just might mean that the other person was right about you.

12. If you are going to be able to look back at something and laugh about it, you might as well laugh about it now.

13. Work is good, but it's not that important. Money is great, but you can't take it (or anything else for that matter) with you. Statistics show that most people don't live to spend everything they've saved. Some people don't even live to retire! Anything we have, isn't really ours, we just borrow it while we're here...even our kids. So live well, laugh often and love much. And don't sweat the small stuff!
