DYK Thread for December
**For those uncertain to what a DYK thread is......**
DYK stands for Did You Know or Do You Know
It is simply a chit chat thread where every thought is written in sentences and each sentences starts with the initials DYK---it is fun, entertaining and a great way to meet the board members
Below are some fun DYK blinkies--feel free to snag any if you like:

I loved Judy Blume books.
They were banned at my school (some of them were)
That made me want to read them all the more
painted redstart. It was either too far north or too far south. But we don't have them here either, so it was rare for her anyway. Anyway, Mike's friend Glenn & his wife work for Rocky Mt Bird Observatory. Arizona is a little bit out of HIS range (he does mostly Colorado & Utah), but his friend Jacob works a wider range. Anyway, they called him to make sure it was rare (it was), and they sent it in with their and Aly's names on it. I don't know where I'd find it to print it or anything...lol.
The Kaibab squirrels are these dark colored squirrels. They are only found at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Their cousins are found at the south rim and other places in the southwest. We have a mug with the info on it, and she found a Kaibab plush at the Kaibab National Forest gift shop next door to Jacob Lake...she named it Jacob, of course (and funny that the sighting was at Jacob Lake and "Jacob" was the one that helped Glenn out with the report).
Anyway...there's a book at the Grand Canyon gift shop about a squirrel, but it's about the Kaibab's cousin, or else we would've bought it. She did buy another book, I can't remember what. She also bought Rocky Mountain Ghosts at a Ghost Town Museum. Maybe she didn't buy a book at the Grand Canyon...I don't remember now...we have well over 1000 books.
I can't wait to go to Yellowstone. We were considering next summer with Glenn & Michelle, but they're pregnant (yay!!!!!) and due in June, so I don't think they'll be up to it.
So, it'll be put off for a couple years, and Mike was ready to go until he talked about it with my aunt & uncle (who enjoyed their trip), but now he's scared silly. Anyway.....
oh, and Aly says to tell you, "don't trust the squirrels"..lol
She's so silly. She got a book called Vampyre. If you're familiar with books like Pirateology and Egyptology and Wizardology, it's like those. They are BEAUTIFUL books...$20 a piece, but filled with beautiful pages and letters and samples of things that you can actually open & take out of the books. She has 4 of these books now.
Anyway, in Vampyre, it says that it's not just bats that turns into vampires, but even animals like squirrels.
I want to take a dance class too.
At the Pilates studio, they offer dance but the times are not compatible with my schedule.
I am also jealous as I want to go on the Disney cruise.
We tried to go a few years ago when they were offering it from CA, but the dates didn't work for us.
We're supposed to go to a friend's house for a party, but since Zoe is sick we might not.
I guess it depends on what the doctor says....
well, got both...weather changing (stupid weather) and about to start (hopefully, since we forgot I had been on antibiotics..anyway), so I guess there's that anticipation, too, right. Lots of stress, plus the fact that my vacation is almost over, and I still have so much to do. And I really don't want to finish the playroom...it just stresses me out to think about it.
I might be on here tomorrow night, since we might be home doing nothing.
At least we have new wii games, so we can do that all night if we are home.
