This morning I lost my hair band. I was looking for it all over the place before my hair dried, curled and point in every direction except for down. After twenty minutes I gave up and found it on my desk when I cam to pick my glass up. Moral: Don't bother looking, it will turn up. Last night I have homemade Moussaka with Maria, Anja and Katie.
