Things I know

Because it sometimes feels like I make the same mistakes over and over again, I thought I'd write down some of the lessons I've learned from life so far.

1) Everything always looks better in the morning.
2) And after a meal.
3) If it's not in the house, it's a lot easier not to eat it.
4)When in doubt, black pants/skirt and white top with closed black shoes is always acceptable.
5) Better to be early than late.
6) Always bring a gift for the host.
7) No one is looking at you, they're all too busy thinking about themselves.
8) Impulse buys only work out well if you've had the impulse for a long time.
9) Sometimes, it's a good idea to just shut your mouth and ask questions later.
10) Of course, sometimes you're better off asking questions right away.
11) Before you speak in public, take a deep breath, look up at everyone and smile.
12) When someone compliments you, say 'thank you'.
13) Everything savoury tastes better with cheese, garlic and vegemite. For sweet stuff, add chocolate.
14) If you're telling a joke to people you don't know very well, make sure you make it very clear you're not serious.

Anything I've missed?
