I read about this cool website in one of my trashy magazines and then read about it again on perezhilton.com.
I decided to check it out and it's so cool. For every vocabulary word that you get right, 20 grains of rice are donated through the UN World Food Program. It's to help end world hunger.
I'm not a charitable person. What I mean by that is that I don't have a lot of money to donate to charities. I try to donate in other ways. I give away toys, clothes, etc....to a nearby church that resells the items to raise money. I donate gently used towels, blankets, new food, new toys (from the dollar store) to animal shelters and I try to give money at Christmas to the Salvation Army. If I can find a way to help by doing nothing more than playing on a website at something I'm good at (that was my favorite thing in school....vocabulary), then I'm more than happy to play all day long. Well, not all day long since I do have to do some work.
Anyway, if you're a vocab geek like me or just want to try to help this program, check it out.

P.S. As of this morning, I've donated 6000 grains of rice. Yay me!
I have discovered a new website. http://www.disneyworldtrivia.com/
Well, it isn't new to the net and not really that new to me. I've seen it before and sort of skimmed through it but for some reason, recently, I decided to take a closer look.
This is a wickedly awesome website for any Disney fans out there.
I've become obsessed with the games on this site. The games I'm referring to are in the forums. One member post a game to start playing and all members can play. My favorite one is the hangman/wheel of fortune one. Someone puts dashes in place of the letters in a quote from Disney World.
So addicting. Also, Disney character quotes. It really tests your Disney trivia.
I've started listening to Lou Mongello's podcast. He talks about updates, new, rumors, etc....about Disney World. It seems to be updated about once a week. A lot of it's information for those who are going in the near future (refurbishments, closings, dates, etc....) but it's got a whole bunch of other info.
Lou also wrote a Disney Trivia book. I have the second one but not the first one yet.
As a Disney fanatic, I love this book. I bought it sometime last year before we went on our second trip.
Anyway, if you're a Disney fan, this is definitely a site to see.
Check it out.
