I’m going to tell you about two times, which is the lifetime sum of contests I have won. Win #1 | candy When I was maybe 10 years old, I won one of those party games where you guess the number of candies in a container. This happened to be a jumbo container of JuJu…
Well. Mine was a little bit weird because I was homeschooled back in the early days of homeschooling life. My parents ordered a diploma for me, but it was rather unofficial. I actually took the GED test just so that I had an actual official high school graduation record. (I thought the GED was massively…

These events appeal to me because they aren’t just physically challenging; they’re also aesthetically appealing. It’s like watching very athletic art. Also, I used to do gymnastics when I was a kid, so that’s another layer of appeal….
This is a funny question to ask a person about themselves. I don’t know that I’m the best person to say what impression I give off! It certainly would be way more accurate to ask other people what their first impression of me is. (The author of the One Frugal Girl blog met me in…
