Guess how many jelly beans are in this box. The box is 4 inches square and there is about 1/2 inch at the bottom of plastic grass. The person that guesses the closest (you can go over--this isn't The Price is Right) wins a present from me. So, you want to know what you're playing for? Who cares? It's a prize! Actually, I haven't totally decided yet. I know it will include some of my favorite things...and it will be worth it! Put your best guess in the comments. You have until midnight (Central time) tonight (April 11th). Good luck!
Autism Awareness Month continues!
Yesterday I signed up at the Interactive Autism Network. Basically it is a site where we fill out some questionnaires and our information is provided to researchers. From their website:
IAN will provide tools that help you monitor your child's progress over time and explore how your child is similar to (or different than) other children affected by this disorder.
Ok, I'll only guess if you promise not to send it in that OU box! (Oops, BAD Nebraskan, BAD Nebraskan). Sorry, I couldn't help it. . .
ReplyDeleteIf you're still letting me guess I pick 212.
Happy, Happy Birthday, Christy Dear!
I would NEVER, EVER part with my OU Box! I made it myself! ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd, now you know that I really posted this on April 10th so I could sleep in on my birthday and not have to worry about posting on my blog.

ReplyDeleteFeliz Cumpleanos, Christy! I hope you are doing something fun. It look like you made the day fun for the rest of us anyway judging by the whoppin' 54 comments. :) Everyone likes to try to win something! You know how to have fun. I need to take some lessons from you. :)
ReplyDeleteMY GUESS: 132 jellybeans (since you're 32, but there's got to be more than 32 in there, so that's my guess.) :)

ReplyDeleteHappy happy birthday!
Happy Birthday to You! Happy Birthday to You! And my guess is 187!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Christy. I want to guess 185 even though there is already a cluster of guesses close by. I made a point to calculate my guess before looking at the others. Oh, well....
ReplyDeleteMy guess is 148.... it started with 150 then Caleb ate at least two before getting caught :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I'll guess 157.
ReplyDelete50 or 75.
ReplyDeleteI'm not 31 I'm 29. That is my answer for the next 5 years.
Happy Birthday Christy! I hope you had a wonderful day. I imagine since you are 2 hrs ahead of me you've headed off to bed... but I hope that your day and evening were enjoyable!
ReplyDeleteHappy Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday!! I left you a message on my blog. I think all the good guesses have already been made, but I'll go with 208 because I'm already here and if all the cool people are guessing, maybe I should too. (Not that it will make me cool, I know.)
