Wisdom from Maria

My cousin Maria is as wise as they come.

Here are her words of wisdom for you all on this Friday evening:

• Ask to see a manager if your coupon's expired.

• If you tie your shoes too tight, there's a good chance that over time you'll get a bone spur. The bone spurs can mess with your arteries and it's really painful.

• You're the only one that decides what to put in your mouth.

• You've heard it before, but it's really true: people do start to resemble their pets over time. Your hair...the way you squint your eyes just so...

• People are only listening to 1/3 of what you're saying no matter what it is you're talking about.

• If you eat too much salt one day, the next day you should eat bananas and drink coconut water. 

• If you're really tired, do a backbend. It's like having a shot of espresso. The same is true of an orange.

• Buy ten pairs of sunglasses when you're at the 99 cent store. You'll never feel bad when you sit on them or lose them.

• Famous people are tiny in real life. Almost all of them. 

• If someone's sitting down and you're having a conversation with them, sit or squat down so that you're at their level. Particularly if you're speaking to an older person.

Diane Lane = one of those celebs who is extra tiny in real life.
Also, is it just me or does that dog look like John Cusack?

Thanks, Maria!

Goodnight, 

Margaret
