  29. 🙂 Your hair looks nice. I like it a little bit longer on you. I have so many bags, I don’t even use them all. I forget what I have. LOL

  30. Something I don’t have is a straw bag. I really like them and once bought a round one from Chico’s that I fell in love with at first sight and I had to have it. I felt guilty about spending the money on myself so I returned it and I regret it to this day because I’ve never seen another one I like as well.
