It's challenge day twenty-five! Can I manage to post twenty-six times in April? Can YOU answer the questions I ripped  gathered from my handy dandy, old-school, flip through paper pages encyclopedia?

Get them all (or a few) right and you could win the boobie prize!

  2. Hey, I was close today! (Always a great feeling :) ) I got #1 wrong, but therefore I knew the bonus. You could/should make a weekly post of trivia *hint* *hint*

    1. It has been fun! I'm definitely going to consider it an annual A-Z event!

      Maybe not weekly, but monthly would be fun! This blog needs a revamp anyhow!

    1. It's been a lot of fun Sheena-kay! I'm a little worn out...but that could be my junk food addiction and lack of exercise.

  4. Wow, I got four of them right. Though I should admit that some of them were guesses. This has been a fun A-Z
