Here she comes, Miss America 2011

I was so excited that I got to visit with Teresa Scanlan, Miss America 2011, yesterday.  She was in Michigan to discuss Constitution Week and I happen to be quite a fan of the constitution myself.  


It was also great to see a former pageant friend.  Kendra Nichols, Mrs. Michigan American Beauty, competed with me at Miss Michigan USA.

Side note - I spilled chili from my coney dog all over myself immediately after this photo was taken.

Congratulations Miss Angola!

Last night, Miss Angola won the title of Miss Universe.  My mom had her picked from the top 10, but I really thought Miss Philippines had a good chance.  Here are the top 5's questions:

  • Nude beaches are common in some parts of the world. Is public nudity appropriate or inappropriate and why?
  • If you could change one of your physical characteristics, which one would it be and why?
  • If you could trade lives with anyone in history, who would it be and why?
  • Would you change your religious beliefs to marry the person you love? Why and why not?
  • What would you do to avoid fighting a war that you did not agree with it?
It got me super excited for Miss Michigan coming up in just a few more weeks!

169
No, not the number of days until the pageant.  That is my total cholesterol level!  I have never gotten it checked before and the MI Pharmacists were offering free screenings.  So, I thought it would be nice to know how I'm doing. 


I knew that this would likely involve some blood being removed from my body and I thought I could handle that if I had a cookie and water on hand.  I was wrong.  Very very wrong.  I passed out and need 2 more cookies and one more bottle of water before I could go back to my office.  Embarrassing. 

I am glad, however, that I got it checked.  I know now that I am in the desirable cholesterol level range!  WooHoo!  Oh yeah, here is the pic of the nearly fatal wound...



Yes, embarrassing.
