1.  I am officially the parent of a teenager and I am not dealing particularly well with that information OR with my teenager….

2.  Guilt is like reverse pride – and thus, not a good character trait.   What a relief!!!!!   I can let it ALL go.

3.  I miss the Time Lady.  853-1212.  Or 853 any four numbers – from any area code.  I can honestly still hear her voice, “At the tone the time will be…….beeeeep!”  I now have no beep to set my life to in questionable times….hmmm…something more to ponder.

1. Hesitating to discuss an issue that is weighing on your mind only ensures that it will come out in an inappropriate manner. And someone will misinterpret it, think it is about them, and now you have another issue to deal with as well.

2. Never, ever, watch devastatingly sad movies alone, back-to-back-to-back when there is Chocolate Moose Tracks ice cream in the house. And if you don’t know what a movie is about, don’t rely on the title – Google it so you don’t watch sad movie after sad movie after sad movie.

3. If you have a chance to sleep on Sunday, take it. Target isn’t going anywhere.

4. Nothing has any meaning other than the meaning you give it.
