Anyone busy 10/20/2012?

I have been making a mistake that nobody has picked up on. I guess no English majors read my blog. I have been using 'fiance' instead of 'fiancee' when talking about Nicole. 'Fiance' refers to the man while 'fiancee' refers to the woman. I had it backwards this whole time, boy is my face red. Okay, enough sarcasm, on to the exciting news.

After 5 months of being engaged, Nicole and I finally set a date for the wedding! We decided on October 20, 2012. That's a Saturday if anyone was wondering. So don't make plans for that date, who knows who will be invited. Has anybody ever invited fellow bloggers to attend their wedding? There is always a first for everything. Nicole, if you are reading this, I am not serious. I am not inviting strangers to our wedding no matter how cool their blogs or comments are. Sorry for the let down folks.

One of the reasons we set it 2 1/2 years in the future is we wanted to wait until one of us was out of school or somewhat close. The way school is going for both of us, it's a mystery to when we will finish.

Over 900 days and counting to the big day. I'm so excited! Hurrah!!

The Movie Game

Here is another exciting installment of the game that's sweeping the nation (or just maybe on blogger). It seems as though I stumped a lot of you last week. Time to put on your thinking caps. And remember EMAILS ONLY, NO ANSWERS IN COMMENTS!

If you have never played before, well read ahead...

I present you with two movies, for example: Independence Day and U.S. Marshalls. The object of the game is to link them together using another movie by connecting the actors/actresses. The link in this case is Men In Black using Will Smith from Independence Day and Tommy Lee Jones from U.S. Marshalls.
Now they all aren't this easy and sometimes there are multiple answers. The questions range from easy to hard and sometimes I like to throw in a challenging one to test those true movie buffs. You earn points for correct answers and I keep track of every one's points on the side of my blog. There is going to be a prize awarded to the winner. I haven't said what it is yet or how long the game is running. That will be a surprise. GOOD LUCK!!


Easy - Link: The Fast and the Furious & Shaft

Medium - Link: Fight Club & Knockaround Guys

Hard - Link: Stepmom & Home Alone

Challenge - Link: Donnie Darko & Almost Famous & The Good Son

Amazing how strong motherhood can be...



In a zoo in California , a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set of triplet tiger cubs. Unfortunately, due to complications in the pregnancy,
the cubs were born prematurely and due to their tiny size,
they died shortly after birth.

The mother tiger , after recovering from the delivery , suddenly started to decline in health, although physically she was fine. The veterinarians felt that the loss of her litter had caused the tigress to fall into a depression. The doctors decided that if the tigress could surrogate another mother's cubs, perhaps she would improve.

After checking with many other zoos across the country, the depressing news was that there were no tiger cubs of the right age to introduce to the mourning mother. The veterinarians decided to try something that had never been tried in a zoo environment. Sometimes a mother of one species will take on the care of a different species. The only ' orphans ' that could be found quickly, were a litter of weaning pigs... The zoo keepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and placed the babies around the mother tiger. Would they become cubs or pork chops ?

Take A Look














Now, please tell me one more time ...

Why can't the rest of the world get along ?
