I use the same tea/coffee mug all the time. I prefer to use certain utensils. The others just don't feel right in my hands. I have at least one apple everyday. Usually with breakfast.
I could challenge the mug and utensil thing. But I love my apples too much to change that habit. |

I agree that you shouldn't hide your keys around the house. She just might find one and figure it's for your room. Either give them to someone you trust or attach it to something that you always have with you. You could even put a key on a string/chain and wear it as a necklace. Good luck! |
