I Never Believed It Would Happen

The impossible has indeed happened...I now have a Gamer Tag on X Box Live! For many years, I've despised our X Box 360. I've always seen it as a waste of time. Everyone in my house seems to always end up in an argument when involved in the game of their choosing and they'll play it for hours on end.
Boyd subscribed to a new game called "1 vs. 100". It's a trivia game, and if there's one thing I love, it's useless trivia!!! I started out helping Boyd with the questions and quickly became enthralled with the game. He bought me my own X Box Live membership, so now I have my own Avatar. Look for me, MissTriviaous, the next time you play!

The Most Exciting Thing to Happen to Me in a While!



The Bedford Heights PTA organized a Penny Drive for Santa USA. Students brought in their pennies and silver coins and participated in a grade level contest to keep Santa flying. Our school raised over $2,500! I walked outside to wait for Santa's arrival via helicopter. Right after he arrived, the organizers asked me if I wanted to take a ride to the next two schools!

Have I mentioned that I don't like to fly??? The mere thought of it makes me want to barf. But how could I say no? I looked at it as a once in a life time opportunity, put on my big girl panties and did it. I will say that it was a totally cool experience! My cheeks hurt because I couldn't stop smiling. Pretty sure I prefer it to flying in an airplane. Thanks Santa USA!
