Departure Time
Well this is it, my last day on American soil. I'm so glad we are leaving for France Monday morning instead of today. That should give a chance to watch Animation Domination and I was also going to see Star Wars with Dad if he gets back home from Wichita soon enough. I'm already finished packing, hopefully with my suitcase below the 44 pounds limit. All that's left to do now is wait. For months Mom has been asking me "Are you excited? Are you excited?! I would be!" I think I'm finally beginning to reach that point. You know, where I'm excited. I guess I just need to finish my packing to do list for it the feeling to settle in. Yes, excitement. Undoubtedly. Um, if I get the chance I'll post my review of the anxiously awaited Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Blogging post may get a little sparse though now, my ancient computer at Mom's has finally bit the dust (good bye old friend). I only wish we were flying out of New York City instead of Chicago. Chicago is cool too but if you live anywhere in the midwest chances are you've been there at least a dozen times. I've only been to NYC once, it was way back in '98 I think.

France? Are you excited, are you excited? Oh wait, you're probably already there!
So. Very. Jealous.
Virgins are like the coolest breed of people, by the way.
Excitement for me really didn’t set in until I boarded my plane at KCI. I needed to have all the packing and goodbyes behind me before the feeling could really settle in.
If by cool you mean bitter, and deprived I would have to agree! lol
I GOT 16 RIGHT!! I KNEW I WASN'T AVERAGE!! HOW ABOUT YOU?
The AVERAGE person only gets 7 right.
I GOT 15 RIGHT, I KNEW I WASN'T AVERAGE!! HOW ABOUT YOU?
This is based on U.S. info, so use all lobes of your brain. This can be more difficult than it looks - it just shows how little most of us really see!
There are 25 questions about things we see every day or have known about all our lives. How many can you get right?
These little simple questions are harder than you think- it just shows you how little we pay attention to the commonplace things of life.
Put your thinking caps on. No cheating! No looking around! No getting out of your chair! No using anything on or in your desk or computer!
Can you beat 20?? (The average is 7) Write down your answers and check answers (on the bottom) AFTER completing all the questions.
REMEMBER - NO CHEATING!!!
BE HONEST!!! That means no looking at your phone or anything on your desk...
Then, before you pass this on to your friends, change the number on the subject line to show how many you got correct.
Forward to your friends and also back to the one who sent it to you.
LET'S JUST SEE HOW OBSERVANT YOU REALLY ARE. - If not, just have fun!
Here we go!
