get your 80's on

this is what we do when we don't have dates

kati, krista, randi and i had a blast friday night. CLEARLY...

let's just say it involved some 80s getup, awesome headbands, and the park with the fountain over by walmart

freerice.com

so i found this pretty awesome website.
lists of vocabulary words. you pick the definition. for every word you pick correctly, 20 grains of rice are donated to people in need in third world countries.
it's easy to play, it doesn't cost you anything but time. i've been reading about it and it seems pretty legit.
they say that 7000 grains of rice equals one cup of uncooked rice or about 3 cups cooked rice.
it's a non-profit site and here are some of the things they've used the grain for so far:

* In Bangladesh, to feed 27,000 refugees from Myanmar for two weeks.

* In Cambodia, to provide take-home rations of four kilograms of rice for two months to 13,500 pregnant and nursing women.

* In Uganda, to feed 66,000 school children for a week.

* In Nepal, to feed over 108,000 Bhutanese refugees for three days.

* In Bhutan, to feed 41,000 children for over 3 days.

* In Myanmar, to feed 750,000 cyclone affected people for 3 days.

click on the link to the right to play. but beware, it's pretty addictive! i donated 8,160 grains today. to date, almost 40 billion grains of rice have been donated, if my calculations are correct, that's over 17 million cups of rice. that's 11.5 million bowls of rice!

happy vocabulary!

dancing and birthdays

Well, the last few days have been pretty fun. Kati's birthday was Monday! Happy 20th K! I'm so glad you live with me! It's so fun to have you around.

Well, Monday night, we watched a movie after FHE and then had a little fun afterwards. There is a guy on YouTube who dances all over the world. It's pretty cool and his dance is ROCKIN! Here is the link, take a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WmMcqp670s

So, we were talking about the movie and decided to try out his dancing. This is how we did. (Well, the vid's not that great. It's from a phone afterall...)



What do you think? Are we as good as him?


Tuesday night, Kati and I went out to dinner with some of our friends (Krista, Ashlee, and Randi), and we had a blast. I don't think I've laughed that hard in ages! You girls are TOO funny!



After dinner, Kati showed us the funniest YouTube video (clearly a favorite past time of ours...)! I nearly died laughing! Here it is for your enjoyment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpTWutrp5Xk

Then we looked at a few photos we found on engrish.com. These are Chinese translations to help us Americans out when we go visit.







A perfect end to the evening was Strictly Ballroom (your favorite Dad). "A bit of musicality, please!"

Happy Birthday Kate!

i am not a nugget

thinking about being a vegetarian makes me laugh. especially these stickers. gotta hand it to the guys at peta2 though, these are pretty funny. too bad i LOVE meat and senselessly killing animals...

The Judd's

My good friends Andrew and Tara are headed to Maryland in a few weeks for Andrew to go to Med School. I'm going to miss them so much! Last night, we got most of the old gang together (everyone but Katy Brinkerhoff) for one last time to visit before they left. We had so much fun laughing and telling goofy stories. I'm going to miss them so much! I have so many great memories of Andrew and Tara, and I hope to visit them soon. Love you guys!
