Sooo... How Was Your Day? is a witty collection of non-fiction short stories by Brenda Hammon. She recalls numerous unforgettable experiences that transpired and how they impacted her life. In an effort to save money, Brenda and her partner Bud built the barn, hay shed, and other buildings on the farm themselves. Having little experience in construction often leads to unfortunate mishaps. Brenda was the one who frequently had broken body parts, bruises, sprains, and vertigo. Gluing on sexy eyelash extensions was another “blinking” episode that will not be forgotten either. Other mishaps were losing her bikini top while swimming, unaware of the audience’s amusement, including the dolphins. Being thrown by a horse with a temperament to match Brenda’s was not how she wanted to remember the Dressage competition that she finally qualified for.
