‘I Feel Bad About My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman'
Nora Ephron is publishing a new book and I found a list of some of her musings, which I found hit right on the money. I wish Nora would write more books rather than write and direct movies. Heartburn is one of the funniest quick chick lit reads I have ever come across. Hope you enjoy her list. I added a few of my own at the bottom:
-People have only one way to be.
-You can’t be friends with people who call after 11 p.m.
-Whenever someone says the words “Our friendship is more important than this,” watch out, because it almost never is.
-Keep a journal.
-Take more pictures.
-Back up your files.
-The empty nest is underrated.
-You can order more than one dessert.
-There’s no point in making piecrust from scratch.
-Anything you think is wrong with your body at the age of thirty-five you will be nostalgic for at the age of forty-five.
-Don’t buy anything that is 100 percent wool even if it seems to be very soft and not particularly itchy when you try it on in the store.
-You can’t own too many black turtleneck sweaters.
-If the shoe doesn’t fit in the shoe store, it’s never going to fit.
-Overinsure everything.
-The minute you decide to get divorced, go see a lawyer and file the papers.
-Overtip.
Claudia's musings:
-Have a least one friend you know you can call at 5 in the morning for anything.
-Go on girl weekends.
-Don't wait until you are 36 to realize the value of pedicures.
-Skim Milk is the coldest of the milks.
-Don't understimate the importance of family.
-Sometimes family doesn't have to mean blood relations.
-Never forget to say I love you after each call.
Now what are yours?

Here's my list:
Money means nothing unless you have none.
If someone can't work things out with you face to face, they're probably working them out behind your back.
Do not lose energy on what other people think.
If he cheats on her, he will cheat on you.
Don't use unlicensed contractors.
Don't let fear make your decisions for you.
People who try to control you lack self control.
