Posted on March 8, 2010 by Kari Lucin

Guess What I Found!

Posted on May 11, 2009 by Kari Lucin

Guess what I found! That’s right, I found the black swimming cap that I’d lost. Of course, that means that I now own three swimming caps, one yellow, one red and one black, but oh well, that means there’ll always … Continue reading →

Posted on April 21, 2009 by Kari Lucin

Today when I went swimming at the YMCA the music wasn’t on, at least for the first 20 or so minutes I was there. For most people, that probably wouldn’t be a problem, but for me it caused a bit … Continue reading →
