1. Yesterday I dropped my iPhone for the zillionth time…I’ve dropped it so many times that the possibility of it breaking no longer occurs to me. Until yesterday, when the screen shattered.

These are kind of like a granola bar in cookie form. They are a tasty, two-bite snack of healthy goodness. They are perfect for eating at your desk or in the car. Don’t ask me how I know.
