Ten more things I know....

1.) Many things can be improved with the addition of a maraschino cherry.

2.) If you want to express displeasure to/at someone while giving them no actual insult to report and therefore letting you dissappear with the last word while they are left inarticulate and stunned, saying "Jesus loves you" in just the right tone of voice does very nicely.

3.) It would be great fun if the fortunes in fortune cookies exploded into a hail of fire after you read them.

4.) Some men ARE in fact brave enough to show up outside the window to my apartment at 2:00am on a school night. (this particular gentelman was unlucky enough to have me go all Tennessee Willaims on his ass from my third floor three flat window, but I digress...)

5.) If you put a hot turkey in a beer cooler for an hour, it will be piping hot when you remove it. Who knew? Thanksgiving is saved!

6.) It is in fact possible to successfully sport a cocktail dress and chain mail at a five-star hotel.

7.) "The Muppets Greatest Hits" on your ipod is always a crowd pleaser. Especially when it's on shuffle.

8.) Legwarmers are awesome.

9.) There is a special kind of irony in going out for a 30 minute run and screwing up your back badly enough that you spend the whole next day on the couch eating tiny slices of leftover birthday cake.

10.) There is great joy in cooking something for the first time and having it proclaimed "equally as good as my grandma's" by a friend. thanks boo!
