Dorie’s Different Reality

You Are a Hazelnut

You are very unique and distinct. You may even freak some people out.

Today I saw a Dora The Explorer Potty Seat.
oh joy

Is the weather changing, or is it just me? It seems like there have been more deadly events the past five years than my previous fifty years on the planet. Starting with the great Tsunami, then Katrina and all the other bad hurricanes in 2005, […]
