LMWAY : generally, during this time of year I mope around about the fact summer is ending, try and swimming more, and then start getting excited for Halloween (two months away *eyeroll*)

LoTM:  Last cannonball into pool 

LMWAY: this actually goes for the whole summer, because time tends to slip away from me, but I try to make a schedule of one thing I would like to accomplish this summer every day, and try to stick to that schedule (an emphasis on the "try" haha). Some ideas include: swimming, a day for writing, a day for reading, trying to learn how to sew hats for my stuffies (I'm still confused...), baking, painting, trying out a new form of art, putting on a play with your stuffies (it's actually much funner than it sounds :D Izzy and Gian Furlough Acorn Harlowe are GREAT actors!!), a day for walking outside and enjoying the breeze and nature, a day for bug-hunting... As for preparing for the upcoming school year, well... I should really be freshening up on math these next few weeks, because my grade wasn't super spectacular last year... so Ig I'd just say a review of what you learned last year if you were confused (plus it's been months so it's good to freshen up your knowledge), especially if it's math, because math builds on itself each grade... *coughcoughCelinecoughcough*

Advice Column: well, first of all, it's really hard to deal with grief and loss and sadness, and *hugs* to anyone who's going through that. When I'm feeling sad, I read, draw, write, cry... go on the CB and rant about it haha, but we're 100% here for you if you ever want to rant or want advice!!

Important Dates: August is National Watermelon month and August 3 is National Watermelon Day! August 8 is National Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbors' Porch Day, which definitely merits mentioning lol. August 8 is also National Pickleball Day!!! :0

Joke Column: yesterday I went up to my friend and I asked her, "do you want to hear the funniest joke ever??" and she said, "sure!" and I was like, "so, a horse walked into a bar, and the bartender was like, do you want a drink?, and the horse said, "I think not!", and disappears!!" My friend like, "...ha. Ha?" and I was like, "It's the funniest joke I promise :DD" XD. I don't know if anyone gets that...?
