OK, that was random....now it's my turn.....A few thoughts here: (and yes, I'm going to be a nerd).
--The coconut thing?? While that's sort of true, it doesn't really work really well..nothing works better than the real thing! (besides, I'd question the hospital I was at if they were filling me with coconut juice)
--I'll make sure to be on the lookout for all spontaneous donkey attacks at the hospital.
--Can I count sleeping as working out then?? Dang, I'm in shape!
--About the Venus thing (yeah, you knew I couldn't let this go)...It just shows that women have found out a better way to do things! (that or God just thinks we're special enough to make us a little better!)
--The dust thing I knew, but is still disgusting....
--Too bad I'm allergic to apples...I'll have to find yet another substitute for my lack of coffee, unlike some people (*coughaddictcough*)
--The three most valuable brand names are a huge reason that I'll ever have a job....
--The toothbrush thing and turtle thing are also gross...just so you know
--Oh and lastly, can I work where you do so I can do this?? :)
Hope you're having a great day....
