Miss America 2008

First and foremost, congratulations Miss Michigan! I am proud to have her as our Miss America, although Miss CA and Miss IN were both up there too. Last night I decided to watch the Miss America show with Makena. After B went to bed, M and I painted our nails, in bright purple, let them dry, grabbed some snacks, made a little comfy spot on the floor and settled down to watch the show. We were having girls nite. Now, I have always been a HUGE fan of the Miss America pagent; I can remember watching it ever since I was a little girl. I have to admit that there have been times when I felt it was a little outdated so imagine my suprise when I discovered that they were revamping Miss America on TLC. (Miss America Reality Check) Yes, I faithfully DVR'd those shows and watched them. (By myself as Ryan would just make fun of me. He obviously did not watch the pagents as a child. :) )Well, I found that show to kind of be a joke. I was disappointed in the tasks that they did but figured that the real contest would be better. Well, it was! I liked they way the introuced themselves in the beginning but thought that the host was....hmmmm..well, he needed to learn to read and remember names better. Anyway, there is a point to this whole thing... So back to M and me watching it. We watched it for a bit and made it to the evening wear. The dresses were so pretty. M said, "Look, a wedding girl." That was the MA of 2007 in a white dress. Then M asked me the name of a contestent. I said,"Miss Georgia." M quietly stated,"Miss Curious Georgia." Then she said,"What is that one named?" I replied,"Miss Washington." M instantly whispered,"Miss Washing Machine-ton." I burst out laughing! I couldn't help it! She literally thought of those word associations instantly and said it so matter of fact! Once I started laughing she started being silly and just saying random things but those first two were hilarious. I had to put her to bed so I finished watching it myself. I thought all of the girls were just so poised and talented! Miss America will always be a favorite of mine.
