100 posts

Dear readers, it's our 100th post!

I say our because you've been awesome in supporting me when I write this. You're part of Taryn's Travels too, for sharing a link from here or commenting. Or just reading this. A couple days ago I hit sixty-nine pageviews, and I'm not sure how, because it wasn't when I was writing. 

Also, don't be shy about commenting! I would love to hear from you.

But thank you. Thanks anyway. You rock, and don't EVER forget!

P.S. from Kayla: Taryn's going to write a post on styling doll hair soon, once she can get Kathy to stop watching makeup tutorials so Kathy can take pictures.

Halloween Mini-quiz!

Hi readers! Today I'll be doing a Halloween quiz. (After all, it's only three days away!)

Which candy are you?

1. What is your favorite part of Halloween?
     a. Dressing up in a homemade costume
     b. CANDY CANDY CANDY
     c. Trick-or-treating with friends

2. Which of these is most like your costume this year?
    a. A classic Halloween monster (ghosts, vampires, werewolves,       etc.)
    b. A goofy getup, such as a minion from Despicable Me
    c. A costume you and a friend designed and are wearing   
    together, like a two-headed monster.

3. What's the best treat the neighbors can give out this year?
     a. Chewy sour candies
     b. Gargantuan chocolate bars
     c. Chocolate-coated pomegranate seeds

4. What are you going to do the day after Halloween?

   b. Invite people over for a candy trading convention
   c. Watch black-and-white horror movies with a bunch of friends

5. When you carve a pumpkin, you:
   a. Carefully sketch a design on to a piece of paper to plan out
   what it will look like 
   b. Dig in! And try to make a silly-looking face.
   c. Go over to your BFF's house to carve one together. 

Alright, here are the results! DON'T scroll down unless you've finished the quiz!

If you answered mostly a's, you're a pumpkin shaped peanut butter cup! You love everything about Halloween.

If you answered mostly b's, you're an Almond Joy! You're nutty and sweet.

If you answered mostly c's, you're candy corn! You're kind and friendly.

I hope you enjoyed the quiz! --Taryn

Aack

Hi readers, sorry I haven't been writing lately. But anyway, our trip to Japan is right around the corner. And so far, these are the logistics:


  • Wake up at 4:00 a.m. to get to the airport two hours early before we fly another two hours to Michigan for a four-hour layover before the actual Japan flight. Total time traveled: eight hours
  • Fly twelve to fourteen hours to Japan. Total time traveled: sixteen to eighteen hours
I. Cannot. Be trapped. On a plane. FOR FOURTEEN HOURS! No fresh air! Teeny-tiny bathrooms with lights that only turn on if you lock the door! Practically no space to move! Aaaaaaaaaaaaack.....

(Sorry, Taryn has temporarily passed out from fear. I am her Fast-Acting Replicating Typer/Secretary, or FARTS. Can I get you a cup of coffee?)
