Hilarious!



(Hint: do not have your volume up too loud)Poor girls- their fingers were probably almost worn off from texting in their votes for 2 hours straight the night before.

Got a forwarded email from my mother in law this morning. See how you do on these quetsions...they aren't trick questions- it's a quiz for people who know everything, which I, obviously, don't. (I got #'s 4, 7, 8, 9)

1. Name the one sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends.

2. What famous North American landmark is constantly moving backward?

3. Of all vegetables, only two can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons. All other vegetables must be replanted every year. What are the only two perennial vegetables?

4. What fruit has its seeds on the outside?

5. In many liquor stores, you can buy pear brandy, with a real pear inside the bottle. The pear is whole and ripe, and the bottle is genuine; it hasn't been cut in any way. How did the pear get inside the bottle?

6. Only three words in standard English begin with the letters 'dw' and they are all common words. Name two of them.

7. There are 14 punctuation marks in English grammar. Can you name at least half of them?

They don't call it "Dirty Santa" for nothing! Also known as "White Elephant," we played this last night at our Life Group Christmas party. And as usual, Jordan and I were the conniving ones of the bunch. In our comparatively small amount of Christmases together, Jordan and I have become surprisingly good at working together get what we want and strike deals to make the game work for us. Last night was funny!

It all started pretty light. There were 15 people and rounds 1-6 went smoothly, noone stealing any previously opened gifts. I was # 7, and I chose not to steal as well, but only because I knew that the purple bag Chantel had brought held a nice assortment of Aveda products that I had my eye on. I snatched it up quickly. The first steal of the night wasn't until my husband, round #12, when he snatched up the Cadoo game, and then what followed was a mayhem of thievery- Cassy stealing my Aveda, me stealing the scarf that Melody so desperately wanted (and that I had brought) We ended up switching gifts several times and created quite the mayhem, but in the end, everyone went home happy. I had sympathy on Courtney and traded her my Aveda stuff (that I ended up with) for the red gloves that I had also brought.

I think we taught a few people a whole new element in playing that game. Happy gift exchanging!

Fantasy Football update: I play Robby this weekend in the first round of our playoffs. I'm the #2 seed and he's #3. Everyone say this with me now: "Stop that run! Stop that run!" It is going to be tough- he has a pretty stellar team (Romo, Peterson, Westbrook) but hey- stranger things have happened :-)

Karaoke....such a funny word. It's something I had never been introduced to much before, Jordan's family takes it to a whole new level, which I love, but when a few people on our Spring Hill leadership team had the idea to get a DJ to come do karaoke for our Volunteer Appreciation dinner I had my doubts.

They were silenced last night.

It was hilarious AND so much fun. Aaron & Jenny Rudd began the night with the Faith/Tim duet, "It' your love," and Jenny was such a trooper. Then (and I WISH I had a video- I think Garner may have one)my dad brought the house down with Bob Dylan "Like a Rolling Stone." HILARIOUS!!! Some other highlights were Olivia & Martha's "I Will Survive," Jordan's "Footloose," and Mom & Tami Lyken's, "I Feel the Earth Move Under my Feet." It was a wonderful time honoring people who deserve it, and enjoying fun and laughs with family.

Couldn't pass this up...got this from one of my friends! Happy Oct. 29th!
