This page said to glue in a magazine page and circle the words I liked. That sounded boring. So instead, I cut out a bunch of people's heads (and a random phrase from an ad) and glued THOSE in. The results

If any of you grew up in the area, you know the banjo'd jingle that accompanies the Northwest Michigan Fair. It's really annoying...and yet somehow catchy enough that you don't mind it. I only went for

Hey, kids! I went back out to the forest that tried to kill me a couple weeks ago, and I snapped some more photos! Mostly of mushrooms! Like this bright little colony! And this one that kind of looks like

Okay, can someone tell me if there's a way to shut off the "let's make a sound for EVERY STEP" thing? Because my god, imagine your phone chirping every time you moved. Anyway, I went for a hike

A friend/coworker of mine held a bonfire tonight for all our summer staffers who are going back to college next week. I don't typically do group gatherings, because of my social anxiety. And this was stressful

I went out with a couple of co-workers today, one of whom is just working here for the summer. She's never been to the area, so it was a great time to play tourist...especially since I haven't seen a lot

There are a few variations of this out now, but I've had mine for about 3 years. ...and still haven't finished it. :P The premise, of course, is to get creative and let go of anxieties over such things

Unfortunately, cell phone cameras are not meant for nighttime photography. Can you imagine, though, sitting by a campfire on the beach, watching moonlit ripples across the lake? Also, I believe, you can

A friend and I got together today to paint some little wooden buildings we bought at the craft store. I don't often get human interaction outside of work, so these little get-togethers are always welcome!

Hey, kids! Today starts my weekend, and although I've been up since 8 the previous night, I usually find myself with lots of energy when I get out of work on my last day. I headed out to Target, because

Here's a flower I haven't seen yet on campus. It must've just started blooming. Anyone have an idea what it might be? All I know is it certainly drew ME in with its brilliant color. Too bad I'm not a bee!

Not much going on here, and I'm belated in posting this, but... Still a long way to go, but I'm getting there! Now if I could just stop falling over tree roots and sidewalks...

My internet was running very slowly yesterday, so I wasn't able to post much. Here are some more pictures from yesterday's hike! This was one of the things posted at the trailhead. I didn't find any artifacts.

I perused Google early this morning for a nearby trail, because I'm tired of driving 40 minutes to get to my usual ones. I was pointed to one that was only 14 minutes away. Score! Does anyone else love

How about some of this uloggin' the kids are doing these days? This morning was beautiful, and best of all, the humidity has gone away and the temperature dropped a bit! I was trying to get a shot of those

I just got this cute little piece of glitter-coated goodness in the mail. It came from Yes.Fit, one of the many companies out there who host virtual races. To be honest, the cost of these things has gotten

Okay guys, look at this adorable fat bee bum. As soon as I saw him crawl in, I hurried to snap a photo. I love bumblebees! Here he is crawling back out again, satisfied with his pollen haul: It JUST started

Does anyone else like wandering through graveyards? I suppose it's a little macabre, but I like visiting old gravestones that might not have family left to remember them. You could barely see anything

I'd meant to get up early and spend the day at Sleeping Bear Dunes. Instead, I slept all day and came out to do a trail. Luckily up here, it's still light in summer til after 10pm. So let's go! Of course,

There's an amazing article I read not too long ago, entitled "Laziness Does Not Exist." The link is just below: In the article, the author details all sorts of different behaviors that are seen
