Word of the day: desiccant. A substance, such as calcium oxide or silica gel, that has a high affinity for water and is used as a drying agent.//--> One of those little packets they put in containers to keep the contents dry. Check out the spelling of this little beauty of a word.



Aubrey and I made up the word "complexifies", and she used it in her college application essays. I figure they will think she is really stupid or really smart. I think it is quite funny and delightfully risky.

I uploaded these pictures in no particular order. I don't feel like putting them in the proper order. Some are fuzzy, and some are taken by Rebekah.
