I just remembered I used to sleep over at Lisa’s house a lot.  We lived 15 miles apart, which is really really far when you live in Hawaii.  And Lisa used to sleep over my house a lot.  And when we were at my house, we spent a lot of time eating and watching late-night tv.  When we were at Lisa’s house, we spent a lot of time swimming and playing backgammon.  We spent the summer between 8th and 9th grade at the beach every single day floating in the ocean.  And waiting for the bus to take us to one home or the other.  Sometimes we went around the island on the bus.  It was always just the 2 of us.  Those were different times, of course.  Safer times.  We were good girls.  We never did anything bad.  We didn’t have cell phones.  Awesome times.  My poor little mochis will never have that kind of freedom.  No way would I let either of them venture off with just a friend.  It saddens me, but then I wonder – What the hell were our moms thinking!??!?! 

15) When it comes to something that you REALLY want that isn’t a necessity, wait 7 days.  If you still REALLY want it after 7 days, go get it.  That will get rid of buyer’s remorse.  And sometimes it’ll be on sale.  If it’s gone, it just wasn’t meant to be.
