I was trying to think of something amazing to call these first set of badges, a name that would elude to 46 levels of GAWAL-y yet to come, but I exhausted my naming skills on the club name. And those kids I have. So, there it is. RULES AND REGULATIONS TO EARN YOUR BADGES: descriptions…

I nod and smile a lot. Like, A LOT. I heard people think I'm nice (some people probably think I'm vapid, but they don't tell me that), but maybe they don't know why I'm grinning like an idiot at them. There are seven main reasons I do this action: I didn't hear what…

Otherwise known as "TMI with Kate Bratt". Or "Useless Facts". more than coffee, I need to blow my nose to feel like the day is really starting. And by "blow my nose", I mean I need to use at least three Kleenex and feel like there's no mucus left in my head before I leave…
