Today, I learned that...

1. Happiness is a peanut-butter-and-banana sandwich and a cup of instant coffee.
2. I can make a 5-year-old child stop a temper tantrum by making weird faces at him and pretending like my friend smells bad... all while on the subway in front of other people.
3. The realization above will probably keep me single for many years to come.
4. Apparently, guys don't notice all of the flaws we think they notice. Sure, Cosmopolitan told me that, but I never believed it until guy friends confirmed. I'm sorry I ever doubted you, Cosmo.
5. I crave leopard-print jeans like most people crave chocolate.
6. Some people can pull off the wet hair look; I cannot.
7. When someone you know and love is headed down a messy path, you can't fix his/her problems, but you could at least try to let that person know you are putting positive thoughts out there on his/her behalf.
8. Pizza here is very, very cheap. Good thing or reason to be suspicious of ingredients?
9. I'm too much of a moral wimp to ever be a good businesswoman.
10. I wish I had taught The Grapes of Wrath.  That last scene... [shudder]
