the things i've learned in the past couple days...

I've gotten older and wiser in the past couple days. Here are a couple pieces of wisdom that I'd like to share with you...

First, if you stay up for 19 hours in 1 day, you will most likely wake up at 10:30 the next morning.

Second, saving some of your Christmas shopping for a couple days before Christmas is never a good idea.

Third, there's such thing as "falling gracefully" down the steps.

Fourth, I found out what you get when there's a baby crying loudly in the back of the church during mass. Wanna know? A Mass distraction! hahaha...(no, I didn't make that up. honestly.)

Fifth, a baby brother, younger sister, and a typewriter don't go together that well.

Sixth, when Harry Potter's in the house, you can't expect to get too much done...

Seventh, sausage, cheese, and Bisquick go really well together. Might have to post the recipe for that...

Eighth, sisters that find Christmas break as a great time to do *extra* school are nuts.

Ninth, some people actually get bored during Christmas break. (I am astounded.)

And lastly, and most importantly, guys do *not* look flattering in tights. ('course I already knew that, but I just got a friendly reminder yesterday night...)

So. I hope you feel wiser now!

Happy 1st day of winter!
