Now we also have an AS2 and an AS4 (the AS3 is still our favorite). Born with chronic insomnia (even as a baby - my family insists I was a nightmare), the struggle to improve my sleep is my life.

Despite my orthodontist's insistence that braces and rubber bands go hand in hand, plus request that I wear my rubber bands 24/7, I placed my rubber bands on the edge of the plate.It was nice to relax with Sexy Nerd, just eating smore after smore (sprinkled with Trader Joe's Pink Himalayan Sea Salt - good stuff!).

No rubber bands = easier to shovel yummy smores into my mouth.
