Are You? Don't Forget!

Corby and I watched a couple of shows tonight that we've never seen. Of course, I've heard about ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER, but I'd never seen it.My gosh, I'm ALMOST as smart as a 5th grader, but I had to go to the internet to answer the $1 million question. The woman who was playing made it that far, had $500,000 in her hands, and went for the big one and lost. The million dollar question - who was the first pilot to break the speed of sound - would have done me in too. Up until that point I knew every answer. Do you know who the pilot was? Chuck Yeager! She guessed Howard Hughes. So, she went from $500,000 to $25,000. Nothing to sneeze at, but still - SHE LOST $475,000! And she said she wasn't a gambler!

Then we watched DON'T FORGET THE LYRICS! Okay - kind of cheesy. But man, I was rockin' those lyrics tonight. I KNEW ALL OF THE ANSWERS - until - Bad Case of Loving You by Robert Palmer. It was at this same point that the contestant lost. But hey, at least this guy won $200,000! I have never had the guts to karaoke, but one of these days, I'm gonna go have a few (4 or 10) margaritas and let it all hang out! Blogger friends - wanna go?

I only karaoke when I'm drinking. I've done some odd songs while under the influence..."King of the Road," "Kiss You All Over," and "Baby Got Back". hehe.
The "Don't Forget The Lyrics" show I could totally kick butt on. In fact, I would have one the big prize one night. I knew ALL the answers. ;o(

First Day of School

It's tradition at my house to take a "first day of school" picture. The kids get less and less thrilled every year, but I still do it. Here are the twins before they left for their first day of senior year: Kind of funny that they both wore gray - unplanned of course! I think Kaitlin is putting in her plug for the college she'd like to go to. They had a good day. Found out that at 1800 students, Heights is over their limit by 400 students!!! OMG! I'm not sure what the answer is, but it is WAY TOO CROWDED! I think the northeast side of town needs a new high school. Something needs to be done! Just finished my Nora Roberts book, and have started New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer's vampire series. Kaitlin took Abby to the vet yesterday to get her last distemper shot and a rabies shot. The vet told her that she comes from a line of very strong / physically superior cats. I knew there was some reason that she climbs EVERYWHERE in the house, including u...
