*Now this is where I need some help! Lane and Lucy answered most of these correctly. I want to be fair in this little game.
Lane got everything right except questions #5 (should I really make that 1/2 of a year count), #15 (technically if we are talking fast food, he got it right!), and #17 (no clue).
Lucy got everything right except questions #1 (my eyes are blue, but she might see blue-ish gray), #12 (she said that she cheated, should I let her off the hook because she admitted openly that she cheated?), and #13 (technically we did have a lay over in Las Vegas on our way to San Diego).
They both gave very detailed answers!
I need your help in judging. I could just post a tie breaker question, but I don't know what that would be. Also, I said that the first person to answer the most questions right would be the winner. I'm really torn here, so I need your help (I feel a little bit like Dora by saying that).

I just wnated to say that I second and third and fourth guessed myself about what part you sing...My first thought was soprano. The other Sunday at church, though, I looked over and thought for sure that you were singing the alto part of whatever song it was...So I tried to remember where you sit when you are on the praise team but it's been a VERY long time since I've been in there when you were...babble, babble, babble...The point is that I think I was wrong on that one but I went with Alto b/c of seeing you sing that part in church. So. There.
I just needed to explain and justify why I (think I) got that one wrong.
Stacy, you totally crack me up! You probably did see me singing alto the other day. I tend to sing alto when I am sick. It's the only time that I can actually hit the low notes! :)
just give them both 5.00 and be done with it!
Hehehe--I think a gift certificate wouldn't work for stores outside of the US--so you're off the hook. Lane can be the actual winner and I'll settle for some sort of honorary title! This was fun--I love you!
Lucy, you are great! How about we get together when you get back in the states and we can go catch up at Starbucks (of course, my treat)?
Lane, I will be getting you that card soon! Are you heading this way anytime soon? If not, I'll just drop it in the mail for you!
Thanks to everyone for playing along!
Cut the gift card in half! The true owner of the card will then say, "NO! Please, no!", revealing the true identity of the winner and the owner of the gift card.
So did i get #5 right or not? That's my question!
I'll be happy to accept your gift. Even though I get the white hot chocolate at Starbucks. Should I say that I've never had a cup of coffee in my life?
It took me 3 1/2 years! I started school in Aug. '96 and graduated in Dec. '99.
Starbucks has a really great new creamier Hot Chocolate!
