It's always fascinating to see a person who carries 10 lb of keys.

Yesterday when my husband was shopping at the local market, an out of control speeding truck smashed into a parked red truck, and it was pushed into the market.
He was standing the closest, only a few feet away.
Very fortunately, no one was hurt by this accident.

I just learned the most fascinating Spanish word, "las esposas" (handcuffs).

Am I the only one who has the same clothes in multiple different colors?

Every time I get haircut, my stylist tells me "I am cleaning the whole week worth of hair from floor!" and "You just lost 5 lb.!"
