# 15 There she is, Miss America...

Tonight was the Miss America Pageant and, more importantly, the Miss America Pageant Party at my house! We had a great time and lots of great good. My favorite part of the night is using ping pong balls to throw at the television when there is something we don't like or think is ridiculous. There was a lot of ping pong ball throwing tonight-- I'll be finding those things for months!

Miss Nebraska won and apparently, she is only 17 years old, which is pretty amazing. I personally really like Hawaii and a lot of people really liked Arkansas, despite her rather, um, unique talent of ventriloquism. However, as a friend of mine pointed out on facebook, most Southern girls know how to smile and mutter under their breath, so I guess its not that impressive.

Here is the winner:

And the top 5-- Hawaii is on the left and Arkansas is on the right.

Its been a long day of cooking and cleaning, so I'm finishing up this blog, getting into bed with my Parker and watching Stargate Atlantis. I'll leave you with some of my favorite introductions from tonight!

From the state that touches more than any others, but *never* inappropriately.
