• Okay - this will make you laugh.  I decided that I am going to try to see if I can hit that magic 100,000 xanga credits for free lifetime Xanga.  How cool would that be?  Unfortunately I am only at 3,500 so far, so Wen and I were talking about it last night and she suggested doing the surveys that xanga suggests.  If you complete a survey, you get 2,000 credits.  Pretty good deal, right?  Right. 
  The catch however, is that you have to MAKE IT THROUGH the survey without them kicking you out - telling you that you don't qualify, etc.  I had tried before, and had gotten kicked out [apparently they don't want my opinion], so we decided to give it a go together.
  Apparently Wendy is magic because the very first survey I got all of the way through.  It was a fairly straightforward survey about my [the households] chocolate milk drinking habits. 
  Thinking that one was easy, I decided to do another - this time it was about vacuum cleaners.
  Seriously...these are two of the questions on the survey...
  

  Now we'd like you to do something a little different and imagine that these vacuum brands were to come to life as people. Which phrase best describes how close you would feel to each as a person? (Select one answer for each vacuum brand.)

  [Ummmm - are you serious?  What are these people smoking?]
  Here is the next one... 

  Again, please imagine that these vacuum brands were to come to life as people. Which of the following statements best describes how you would feel about each brand if it came to life as a person? Would that person be…? (Please select one answer for each brand)

  Someone I would look up to and be proud to be associated with
  Someone I would be very happy to be associated with
  Someone I wouldn't mind being associated with
  Someone I wouldn't particularly want to be associated with
  Someone I would be embarrassed to be associated with

  How crazy is that?  It made me laugh hard.
  So I spent 20 minutes on this stupid vacuum quiz and the jerks took all of my answers and then kicked me out without giving me the points.  So not cool.  There has to be a better way.

  In other news - I spent an evening with my parents earlier this week and they were watching my brother Ben's three girls - plus my sister and her family were over, so I had ALL of my neices in the same place.  How glad was I that I had thought to bring my camera with me?  I totally made all of them sit with me so I could get pictures.

  The first one with just Hadassah and I.  How nummy is she?

  

  Add Bethany and Addison...

  

  Then Tabitha got there and we had the whole group...Bethany thought it would be hysterical to make a face.  What a goober.

  

  The 'good' shot of the whole group...Addison's hands are in front of her face, but it was the best we could do...

  

  That was pretty much it - they were done...

  

  Tabitha and Bethany love to ham it up for the camera though - they thought it would be great to pretend to be sleeping?  Okay.  It looks more to me like they are in pain, but whatever.

  

  One last shot of the silly girls.  Have I mentioned how much I love my family?
