Wacky Wednesday Trivia

How many hotdogs did Takeru Kobayashi eat in 12 minutes in 2002 to set a new world record?

My Best Friend

Last night I had a rough one...it was again confirmed that other than Jesus, this guy is my best friend!

Ten on Tuesday...

1. This weekend is Relay for Life! I am excited to walk a little for a cure with Mike. I don't think I was the number one walker on my team (which was my goal) but I did raise $485 for the American Cancer Society. Can't complain about that!

2. An update from last week: I went to the preschool graduation and cried most of the time! The kids were so cute and I was blessed to see some of the fruits of my labor. I am so proud of the Ark Christian Preschool. And they even gave me flowers...I was blessed!

3. Tonight is Ladies night out! I am so pumped! I am looking forward to "being crafty". I say it like that because really I am terrible at this kind of thing! I will still have fun I am sure!

4. This morning the radio personality asked a trivia question: What item has an average temperature is 105 degrees? And a guy called in and answered: The Sun. I was cracking up for a good ten minutes. I don't know the exact temperature of the sun but I am guessing it's warmer than that!

5. I am dogsitting for a friend right now. The new addition to the Wilson Petting Zoo is Zac. He will probably with me for another week or so. Usually in the evenings when I go over to Mike's house I take Tucker so he isn't home all day by himself. So the last week I have been taking Zac too.
Mike and I have some friends who are going to have their third little one on Friday and we offered to keep their dog, Daisy for a bit. So if I end up taking the dogs over to Mike's to hang out....that's right there will be 4 dogs. I used to think more dogs would be fun but now I think very differently. One is good, two is perfect, three is not-fun and 4 will I am sure be down right obnoxious!

6. This Sunday night = Lex and I going to the Taylor Swift and Keith Urban concert! I can't wait!

7. If you are a female and reading this right now, you should get your hands on a copy of Captivating and read it immediately. If you are a male and reading this right now, you should get the book Captivating for a woman in your life. It is a great book explaining the heart of a Godly woman. SO GOOD!

8. Tomorrow night is book club, I am looking forward to hearing what the other ladies have to say about Captivating. I finished a couple days ago and I am so glad that being in Book Club forced me to read it.

That's all I got, sorry!

ANSWER...

The question actually ended up being a semi-trick question for me. I did a little research and the answer I had ready to go today was wrong. The question would have more accurately been "Who promoted Billy Beer?" While Angie was really close with her "answer"...the proper response would have been Billy Carter - Jimmy Carter's brother. I love a Presidential family that loves a good brew!

All blogs in one!

So because it's a short work week it seems like time slips faster...I haven't had a chance to get on here and blog...SO, I am combining a Ten on Tuesday, Wacky Wednesday Trivia, and Thankful Thursday post all into one! Aren't you excited?...

This last weekend the whole family was in town and before I headed out we had a little Memorial Day Cookout at my house. Here are some pictures from the event! It was so fun to spend time with my parents, brothers and sisters....and of course my little AVA!

Grandpa and Ava, playing in the yard! I think they like each other!

She likes to feel the grass!

Maybe the happiest/cutest baby ever!


Couldn't pass up this picture!

This past weekend was Mike's surprise weekend...I guess some of you still don't know what we did. On the way to Indianapolis, I told Mike that we were going hiking in Brown County the next day and then to the NCAA Hall of Champions...THEN, at dinner on Saturday night I snuck off to the "bathroom" to give our waitress our tickets to the INDIANAPOLIS 500 (that other stuff was all a lie!) Mike claims that he believed my original fake surprises, which made me soooo happy. So we spend Saturday at the race and had a blast!

At my previous job, I helped to start a preschool that is just finishing its first year in session...I poured my heart and soul into that project and it's probably one of my proudest God-centered accomplishments. When I left that job, one of the hardest parts was walking away from the little ones and the preschool. A few weeks ago, I was invited to their graduation ceremony which is tonight. At first I was so excited, feeling proud of the teachers for completing their first year, and so proud of the students for successfully preparing for kindergarten...I was pumped that they thought of me and that I was going. Yesterday, I started to get a really anxious feeling about it and not sure I wanted to go. I haven't been back to the church for a while and I am not sure I will be able to keep it together. It's hard when you have worked with kids because you have to put on a front that you are happy when you are breaking up inside...it's one of the reasons I couldn't continue to attend there, I felt like a fake. But at the same time I would never dump my emotions on the little ones. I am nervous because at this point I will be going alone -- I just decided about twenty minutes ago, that my attitude at this event (and in my whole life, really) is my choice. I am going to choose to feel the first emotions I felt about this evening. Proud, Excited, and in love with what God has done with my hard and heart-felt work. He is Good! Congratulations little ones for graduating! :)

Wacky (not so much) Wednesday Trivia: Who made Billy Beer?

Thankful Thursday

1. Trees. I realized on my way to work this morning that most of them have their leaves now, I drive through some really pretty spots on my way to work.

2. The weather! It's gorgeous out and is supposed to be throughout the holiday weekend. The secret trip should be a blast!

3. My roomie, Michelle! She is such a sweet person and is always accomodating me and my pets! We are a rowdy bunch sometimes! Love ya, M!

ANSWER...

Duck Billed Platypus is right. And had I known that RJ would comment I never would have asked this question. Also note Kristi with the most correct answer, busting the spiny anteater out of nowhere! Good job everyone!
