Note to self: Hug Ryle every chance I get. And cuddle some more. Note to self: Shoveling snow for three corner-houses is NOT as easy as it looks. Note to self: Always look behind you to ensure Ma does NOT place snow in hood of coat to get snow all over your head. Note to self: Never, EVER, EVER think you can run down stairs that are outdoors during a period of ice/snow. Note to self: It is usually not a good idea to act on reflexes and punch a lady behind you passing out Chick tracts. (Hey, I thought it was a mugger, or some weird guy, c’mon, it was 5 PM during WINTER!) Note to self: Never EVER EVER think you are the best at skateboarding and show off in front of 50-odd girls outside of a school on a VERY high slope. (That’s why it’s called _Hillside_ Avenue, dumbass.) ::smackhead:: Note to self: It’s NOT a good idea to turn on the oven and go upstairs to check the SDMB. You will not leave until you’ve read all forums. Even “Comments on Staff Reports”. Note to (younger) self: When switching to a kiddy bike to a handbraked bike, REMEMBER that BRAKES ARE ON THE HANDLEBARS! IT DOESN’T WORK WHEN YOU BACKPEDAL! ---

Note to self: Do not shield lighter from the wind while wearing flammable gloves (learned that the hard way yesterday). Note to self: You’re a cheap drunk. Don’t drink an Amaretto Twister (or whatever my friend just made me) and try to comprehend the boards. Or say anything amusing. ---

Note to self: Ask for stuff you know you could probably get if you asked. They’ll never know you want it if you don’t make it clear. Other note to self: Mohair’s itchy; change sweaters before work! ---
