Things you shouldn't do. Because they are stupid.

I'm here to offer y'all some free advice, because lately, I've been learning a lot, and, being the fantastic blogette that I am, want to pass it along to you. Free of charge. Of course, if you want to pay me, that's fine too.

Now, without further ado, I present, my list of "don'ts"

1. Run a red light. On a Sunday. In front of a cop. (luckily, he did the same thing and we got home free and clear. But really, it's an abnormally short green light and I honestly thought we could make it)

2. Allow your fabulous sis in law reign in the kitchen. (she will bake banana bread and cinnamon muffins and you will gain weight, but, you love her anyway)

3. Try to run the remaining 8 miles of your long run by yourself. (you will get bored, pissy and generally stop every 2.5 minutes. Estupido!)

4. Go grocery shopping while only a teensy bit hungry, but, not starving. (because you'll come home with bags and bags of chips. Obviously)

5. Look at the elevation chart for your next marathon a mere two months out. (you will have a full on panic attack and lose a great deal of sleep over the whole thing and realize that there's an 8 hour cut off--my money's on 7:59:59 for my time y'all)

6. Try to paint your nails right before making dinner. (I think this is obvious)

7. Incorrectly label a FedEx package. (luckily, the people at FedEx customer service are very nice--I'm thinking I'm not the first person to do this)

8. Eat dessert, even though you don't need it. (this will result in extra tight pants and other items of clothing. Willpower anyone?)

As you can see, I've learned a lot the past few days. One would think I'd already know many of these things, but, one would be wrong. Hey, it's life, we learn as we go, yes? Yes. And, at the end of the day, I do get a kick out of myself.

Surely I'm not the only one.

Anyone else learned anything lately?
