Last month, I posted a list of ideas for things to do this season! I love Autumn a lot, and I was really excited to go to Larriland for the first time with my friend, Jenn. It's a large piece of land, full of fields to pick apples, broccoli, and other fruits and...
All great ideas come after midnight, right? Sure. I was opening some mail that I picked up earlier today, and inside a Halloween goody bag from Michelle was an orange balloon. All of a sudden, I knew what I had to do. Yep, you guessed it. I tried to communicate with...

If you were to look at the last twenty-five years of my life, you'd see many parallels with my interests and activities. I've always loved balloons, the color yellow, and glitter. I've always enjoyed picking out pumpkins, looking at carnival lights, and watching The...
In honor of my favorite day of the year (October being my favorite month, and 17 being my favorite number), I'm posting twice! I recently re-discovered a bunch of files on my laptop because I finally got Microsoft Office back. One of these files was a graph I made...
