Things and Pictures

Just what you’ve always wanted out of a blog on a Sunday night – 15 random things – now with pictures (that in most likely no way correlate to the random things)! – I’ve had my eyes checked twice since having Ariadne, and both times have resulted in crazy eyesight changes.  My eye doc tells […]
