There should be a birthday card that says, “I hate buying cards and I think they’re pointless, but I like you so much that I’m getting you one anyway.”

I’d buy that card right now.

Anonymous asked: you are incredibly attractive.

Oh thanks!  

…This is so exciting; I never get anything in my “ask” box!

I changed the title of this because it initially said “45 Life Lessons, Written by a 90 Year Old” and then I looked it up, and that is incorrect.  If you follow the link to http://www.reginabrett.com/about.php, you’ll see the author wrote this list when she turned 45.  Anyway, it’s still a list of wonderful lessons.

1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

5. Don’t buy stuff you don’t need.

6. You don’t have to win every argument. Stay…

I am quite surprised (and so happy!) that Obama won this election (!!!) after Walker didn’t get recalled this past year.  So happy.
