If you want a truer sense of the flavor, picture mashing a box of Froot Loops up into dusty grains and pouring said grains into a bag of salty Doritos. Doesn’t sound appetizing? Well, good, because these are decidedly repulsive, eaten more for the thrill of knowing that you’re eating something inherently wrong than for, I dunno, underscoring network television with the steady crunching sounds of Dorito chewing. While I concede that the initial flavor shock quickly wears off and they end up being only a minor offense to society at large, I can’t say that “The Quest” Doritos are any good.

I'm a big girl now.

I just sent in my registration for a software conference in Lake Tahoe this October. My boss asked me to go. This will be my first “business trip” all by myself. Well all by myself from the company. I’m hoping Tom and I can coordinate so we can spend a few days out there for a little post-conference leisure. Wee!!!

Candidates for the potential sequel, Kid Nation 2, were required to submit a written application and a three-minute video. To be considered, candidates needed to be between the ages 8 and 15 at the time of application, hold United States citizenship and a passport, and grant the producers the right to conduct a background check. Semi-finalists would travel at their own expense to one of 11 regional interviews, with finalists flown to Los Angeles for the final selection. Applications were due by October 9, 2007.[55] Since Kid Nation was canceled on May 14, 2008, a second season is unlikely to air.

CANCELED????? WHAT??!?!?!!?!? This is extremely upsetting.

Butterfly (via catherine pickard)
We went for a 5 mile hike in the Shenandoah National Park yesterday. The following things happened:
- we walked. A lot.
- we may have gotten a little off track.
- we saw 6 bears (not all at once)
- we got a ride in the back of a pickup truck to our car.
- we got rained on.
It was a super fun day. I love the outdoors!
