30 Things Everyone Should Know How to Do Before Turning 30

A friend of mine, Siobhan Adcock, has just published her first book: 30 Things Everyone Should Know How to Do Before Turning 30. Yay, Siobhan!! I am basically announcing the release of the book, and if I have any readers who have yet to turn 30, and feel they need some of this essential information, I highly recommend the book. It is on display at my local Barnes & Noble, so I assume you can find it near where you live as well.

Some of the things Siobhan says you should know how to do before turning 30:

Keep a plant alive for over a year

Hold your liquor

Parallel park

Send a drink to someone’s table

Clean your place in under 45 minutes, when friends, relatives, or prospective lovers are coming by unexpectedly, and soon

And much much more. She tells you what you should know how to do, WHY it is a good skill to have, HOW to do whatever it is you should know how to do (how the hell does one learn how to hold one's liquor - well, Siobhan tells you how) and then gives trouble-shooting pointers should you run into roadblocks. Her prose is so amusing that it made me laugh out loud.

It's getting good reviews, she's been appearing on radio shows, and everything is looking very well for her. I'm very excited and proud!
