High Roller

William likes to take online quizzes.  I have to be really careful about the websites, though, because well, you know - the internet.  But he will take random quizzes about which animal he would be or which state he should live in.  You see links all the time on Facebook and lots of people take them, but since William doesn't have a FB account I'm not sure where he discovered all these quizzes. I never take quizzes like that, mainly because I'm not on Facebook that often but also because I am quite sure I won't like the results.  I took one.  Once.  I wanted to know what state I should be living in, according to the internet.  I got Wyoming,  I wasn't impressed.

Anyway.

The other day he took one that supposedly matches you with the country you should be living in.  According to the quiz, William should be living in Monaco.

Seriously?  Because his almost 11 year old responses indicate a propensity for martinis and gambling?  What kind of quiz is this?  He took it again and got Dubai.  William is apparently quite the cosmopolitan man of the world.

I really want to take this quiz.  I want the internet to tell me that I should be living in France so I don't feel bad when I peruse Paris Real Estate websites, looking for the perfect apartment in the 6th Arrondissement.

I won't give in, though.  I have a bad feeling my answer wouldn't be anything nearly as fun as France.  Or even Monaco or Dubai.

I think I'm probably a Canada.  At least according to the internet.

Fall Pictures

My friend Melissa does a great job taking pictures of my kids.  They will listen to her and we generally get some good shots.  Here are some from last week:

17

Today is our 17th wedding anniversary.  I wish I could say that we did something to fun to commemorate the occasion.  But, you know, stuff gets in the way.

Henry had a campout with the scouts last night and since Jay hasn't been able to go to many of them this year he wanted to at least camp out with them.  Unfortunately he had to work late and had to drive up Green Canyon in the dark, looking for the group.  The boys did a 10 mile hike today and Jay helped shuttle cars to the finish point so he didn't make it home until early afternoon.  By the time he got some yard stuff done around here, it was almost 3 and Henry was home.  Off the boys went to the USU Homecoming Tailgate Party, where Jay runs a booth for USU Student Services Marketing.  They will come home about 8 and I'm sure head right to bed after last night's campout.

Tessa abhors anything to do with football and although I think it would be fun, I would end up entertaining her so we stayed home.  She wanted Wendys for dinner.  Yum.

This is where Jay and I were 2 years ago today, celebrating our 15th anniversary:


C'est la vie.
