What a day! Gotta say that tough start made me laugh out loud! Sometimes though, if you don’t laugh – you cry. Glad it all finished on an excellent note!

All of it sounds bad, except the underwear part–are you telling me there’s a correct way of wearing it? I put it on and hope for the best. I hate when its backyards, but too lazy to change it. good think I don’t wear thongs.
Psst…congrats!
