Trivia and Capris

If you know me very well, you will know that I love trivia. I love the games that ask you questions, like Jeopardy. Ok, well I guess Jeopardy doesn't really ask questions, they give you the answers and you have to give the question, but anyways, you get my point. :) Today I found my Brain Quest decks! They are 7th grade questions, so they are really fun. Mostly because I can actually answer them. I remember we used these decks to practice for Academic Challenge and some of the questions during the Challenge were word for word off these decks. Hilarious. Especially when JT got too cocky and tried to answer a question before all the answer choices were given and they had tweaked the question. I think they were catching on by that point. :) But anywho, I, by the way, did not ever hit my buzzer the two years that I was in Academic Challenge... I was just too shy and not confident enough. I think I was in 6th and 7th grade years. I remember Matt was in the one year, because I remember he always wore this camouflage watch.. :-D Anyways, I will give you the Are you as Smart as a 7th grader quiz after 2 more ranting paragraphs.

First I would just like to say, relating to my love of trivia, that I now have three different versions of Trivial Pursuit. The regular, 90s version, and my most recent garage sale purchase, Book Lover's version! I would sooo totally love to throw a Book Lover's Trivial Pursuit party, but I don't know that anyone would show. Most of the time when I mention Trivial pursuit playing people roll their eyes. But I thought maybe because it was a book version I might be able to convince Brittany and Lacey to play, and possibly Erin if she were in the state. :) But anyways, maybe some day I will convince someone to play along. OOOO maybe I could mix up all the cards and have one huge Trivial pursuit extravaganza with all 3 boards going at once... I'm such a freaking nerd. :)

Next rant. Capris. I remember when these first came out a few years ago. I declared my dislike for them and swore I would never wear them. WHY? Why do I say these things, why do I make myself become a hypocrite? WHY??? I mean really why did I hate them so much? Ok, so I still don't think I like them on men, I mean honestly can you see Jonathan frolicking around in a pair of manpris. Hehe, I was just picturing him frolicking wearing his regular clothes and it made me giggle. :-D Anyways, back to the original point. I wore some last summer when I was pregnant, and they were a nice change from jeans and I better option for me than shorts. Now I have the perfect length of the capris I want, but I can never find them.. Oh well, I will continue my search until I find them.
