Q: Americans will go through 16,000 tons of this in 2007. We will
probably use more during the holidays. What is it?
A: Aspirin
I love to decorate for Christmas…I enjoy it so much my tree
usually goes up the weekend after Thanksgiving. It must be something about the
cold weather, hot chocolate and a cozy blanket that gets me in the Christmas
mood. My entire house gets transformed each year into a winter wonderland.
I was talking with the ladies in the office about Christmas
Trees and we talked about being a real tree or artificial tree person. I have
always had an artificial tree. I can remember one year when I was growing up
that we had a real tree….not sure why we did something different that year…but
I do remember the mess that tree made and how hard it was to put ornaments on
the tree and how you had to pick just the right branch for each ornament
because the heavy ornaments would not stay on any branch.
I went in together on it when we had our first apartment together and when we
moved out I paid for her half and took the tree with me. It has had the same theme
for all these years…I’ve thought of changing it but I’m not sure what I would
change it too…so I found a way to update it without a lot of cost…the after
Christmas sales really help. I have
always had blue lights on my tree…If I remember
right my Great Grandparents used to have blue lights on their tree…one year I
added the white lights with the blue to brighten the tree up a bit…the next
year I added the snow flakes to add some sparkle and most recently the icicles
were added…so I have a blue, silver and white snowflake theme going on and that
is theme in
my entire house with the cute snowmen stuff I have in various
places.

Q: What city is the most misspelled by Americans?
A: Pittsburgh
Sure, Jennifer's snake (see below) is all big and scary and stuff... But it all comes down to how you look at things. It can either be 'quick, run!!!' or 'quick, get on!'
Young Sambath says he loves it as much as his sister. My sister couldn't carry me very far... nor was she a reptile.

Q: The average person's left hand does 56% of this - what?
A: Typing!
I finally have proof!!!! A few months back when I was walking my dog I had my first snake encounter in Colorado but I didn't have my phone with me to take a picture BUT yesterday when I was walking my dog...I had my camera phone and...in the same spot...I ran into this snake. Yikes!!! This time it was a totally different color and even a little bit bigger. So I finally have proof...thankfully my dog did not see this snake even though he almost walked right into him. I had no idea snakes would still be out this time of year...doesn't it get to cold for them at some point. This one was moving really slow...but look at the size of this thing...that is not even his entire body...more of him is down in a hole in the ground. I had no idea when I moved to Colorado that I would have this many snake encounters. YIKES!!!

I don't wanna die!!! Snowboarding looks like fun but after
my friend
Michelle went last weekend and came back with knees looking like
this....I'm not so sure I'm ready to give it a try just yet. I grew up water skiing...so I can handle the water but Snowboarding is a totally different
story. The only snow skiing I have ever done was years ago in Missouri so the Colorado Mountains are intimidating to me. Since I'm tall doesn't that just mean I have a longer fall? :-)
If you have any tips for the best place for a rookie like me to give
this a try let me know...I need a good teacher first! One good thing…my friend Michelle said
that it was a lot of fun…so maybe it is worth the bruises….maybe

Q:
More people use a blue one of these than any other color. What is it?
A: Toothbrush!
At first, it was 'hey. is that bee a part of the band?' Then it was, 'hey, that's the lead singer of Building 429--and he's singing our favorite song!!'
Here's Jason Roy of Building 429 singing 'Glory Defined.'
See all the pics from the concert on our Flickr page... the link is just to the right.
