Oh, how I miss raw almonds.  I've had braces since October of 2007 and while I can eat certain nutes, almonds are just a tad too hard.  It's not worth losing a bracket.
I'm a big fan of hummus--on pitas and with raw veggies.  
I also love certain types of dry cereal.  So much so that I have to stop buying them and go back to plan shredded wheat (which doesn't taste so good right out of the box).
				
			 
			
		 
			
				
			
			
				Live with intention.  Walk to the edge.  Listen hard. Practice wellness.  Play with abandon.  Laugh.  Choose with no regret.  Continue to learn.  Appreciate your friends.  Do what you love.  Live as if this is all there is.
