I've learned it's possible to hail a cab on New Years Eve in the rain-- all you have to do is pray and RUN!

I've learned that people actually enjoy setting off their car alarms in our neighborhood at any given time of the day (or night!).

I've learned that sometimes a $20 giftcard to Starbucks is better than a bottle of Dom Perignon.

I've learned that the look my husband gives small children means I'm not going to be able to pull off this whole "pregnant?!? maybe in 10 years" thing much longer.

I've learned that I can spot an addict from mile away because of the experiences I've had in my life.

I've learned that feeling left out is possibly the worst feeling in the world.

I've learned that I'm allergic to neosporin! (WHO THE HELL IS ALLERGIC TO NEOSPORIN?!)

I've learned that text messages are everyone's main form of communication and I AM OVER IT.

I've learned that the cupcake shop closing early one night can really make me have a breakdown (literally).

I've learned that it's absolutely possible to have a 70 degree day in NYC in JANUARY!!!!

I've learned that there is no point in putting labels on friendships- sometimes it's just a fact that you can be closer to someone you've only known for 3 years than to someone you've known for 12. (especially when geography is involved)

I've learned that sometimes you just need a little sparkle.
