mandy's visit was so full of fun and excitement that it's taken me two days to calm down enough to be able to write about it.

i could tell you all about how we ordered pizza when she first got here and how we stayed up until 3 a.m. just talking and how we went shopping saturday and how she discovered long island iced tea saturday nite and how matt lauer jr. waited on us sunday morning. but you're not interested in that, are you? i didn't think so.

it's much more interesting to tell you all the things she taught me while she was here:

• diet coke is the breakfast of champions.
• pizza reheated in the oven is infinitely better than pizza reheated in the microwave.
• you can get french onion soup without the onions.
• sometimes one twin gets more nutrients than the other.
• there's a reason men don't wear k-swiss shoes.
• good christian girls finish last.
• there really are no good christian girls.
• it's possible to buy something you like at pottery barn for 31 cents.
• what is that woman thinking wearing that?
• 20 + 20 = 40

i feel smarter and cultured. she should visit more often.
