Hey Taryn. I just wanted to take the time here to leave a comment and rate your blog. I only came across it recently, but I must say that I really enjoy it. I love information and interesting facts (my friends used to jokingly call me Data Encyclopedia) and your blog is chock full of both. Keep up the good work! :)

Shine on,
Aaron
