Lessons

April 14, 2003 Stephanie Leary

Today we have learned that having your big toenail split half an inch down from the top doesn't really hurt. Nope.

In my ongoing quest to fit into my old jeans, I decided not to buy any more Pop-Tarts for breakfast, but to eat fruit instead. This morning I had an apple and two Tagalongs.
