Worst of....
1. Gretchen cut her hair
2. Gas price went down (good) but people aren't as tolerant of road bikers on a narrow neck of land my husband rides on.
3. Chipped not one but two teeth this year. What's up with thirties? or my teeth?
4. We were robbed Man!...but props to Nationwide for being on our side.
5. Just a dream that I had a boob job and tummy tuck. Frown.
