spreading the right to choose.
I just got an email that completely made my day:
(Or would have, if it hadn’t ALREADY been made by having lunch and shopping with my Mom, The Judy… )
From (faithful and excellent reader) Chris in Virginia (which makes my blog sound like a call-in show):
(why am I using so many parentheses)
Hey Meg, My daughter (a junior at Radford University at Radford VA) loves getting your "choose" quizzes from me. She never has time to do much blog reading so I copy and paste them for her. She's an RA (resident advisor) and used one of your CHOOSE quizzes for a program. Everyone on the first floor of her dorm had to vote and then she made up this bulletin board -- complete with a credit line for YOU! (She added the "paper or plastic" item -- she spent four years working in a grocery store over the summers!) If these pictures don't come through -- let me know. Chris (in VA)

That is the most awesome thing EVER.
Wanna see the pictures? I know. I DID, TOO.

HOW FUN IS THAT? And check it out, I get a byline:

THAT, my friends, is better than a blogging award. That’s like a… a… DORM AWARD.
Thanks, Chris!
AND thank you to the choosy people of Radford University!

A great friend of mine is a professor at Radford, so I’m not surprised at the coolness of this!

That’s cool. How nice to be recognized.

That is pretty cute.
I am shocked, shocked at 50 percent mountain, 50 percent ocean though. I am just so in love with the beach that I can’t imagine how anyone would like the mountains more. Crazy!

Very cool!

I’m glad to see where everyone lands on Chappelle, though.

Hello all.
Just to clarify…I’m female and the Mother of the college student — not the father! Chris is short for Christy!
