  7. This is TOTALLY awesome, and I am super stoked that you tagged me to do it. I will get on this later this week! Yay!

    P.S. With your statement about how your glasses are pinching your face, you reminded me that I need to make an appointment to have my eyes checked again. Haha. Thanks for that!
