Let's learn from the error of my ways, ok? I'm officially stating my two newest rules:

- No one who is single should ever, under ANY circumstances, watch "The Notebook." Because if you do, you wind up tapping into bitterness you never knew you were capable of.

- No one, single or not, should ever, EVER watch "The Notebook" when settling in for a much-needed, sought-out evening of solitude. EVER. We won't get into what happens when one does not heed this advice.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with Jimmy Fallon and the Red Sox.

It's recovery time.
