I just realized I went to my first SCA event in February 1998.

I was 22.
I turn 34 in 3 months.

Haven't done much in that 12 years.

I certainly would!
I don't get the daily suggested amount of exercise in a MONTH! LOL - to be able to take a pill and have it done... that would rock! Especially if insurance covered the cost of the pill.

Why does LJ offer writers' block questions?

You have to listen to this, no instruments.  The rain storm at the beginning is done by the group and watch the guy in the lower right hand corner, he's making the drum sounds while he's playing the 'Air drums!'

Have a great and very safe holiday, if you're shooting your own fireworks, be careful, if you're drinking, be aware of how much if you plan to drive, and if you aren't careful of how much, don't drive (your mates won't mind you sleeping at their house (couch, floor, driveway in your car, whatever).

Keep the kids safe, and teach them good habits!

I just gave the boy a breakfast bar for breakfast, cause I forgot to bring our oatmeal down to the beachhouse...

He ate 4.

??

He's 2.

Sigh. I did one of those web page guestimations about how tall he's going to be when I put in his current height, weight and age, with Chris and my height... It said 6'2" by 18.

Keeps eating this way and he'll be 6' wide too... LOL!

Thank you so much for your help!

Hi! I'm on a team for the Relay for Life, sponsored by the American Cancer Society, which is being held on Friday June 12, into Saturday June 13. I was on the team last year and it was fun.

My grandfather died of cancer when I was 8 years old, and my husband's uncle has a recurrence of cancer. Last year, one of my teammates watched a one year old baby die of Cancer.

This year, hundreds of thousands of people will hear the words "You have cancer", and there's a good chance that some of them will be people we know and love. We have all been touched by cancer in some way ... and we all have the power to make a difference. That's why I have chosen to fight back right here in my own community by participating in the American Cancer Society Relay For Life®.

I want to invite you to join me in the fight against cancer by making a donation in support of my efforts. Further down in this message is a link to my personal Relay For Life® web page where you can make an online contribution. You can make a one time gift or increase your impact by donating monthly. Every amount, no matter how small, makes a difference and provides hope.

Relay For Life® brings more than 3.5 million people from across the country together each year to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that takes too much.

Thank you in advance for your support. Together, we will celebrate, remember, and fight back.

This is a link to my participant page.

When you see this, post in your own journal with your favorite quote from The Princess Bride. Preferably not "As You Wish" or the Inigo Montoya speech.

INCONCEIVABLE.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

EVERYONE else did it, and I got too curious:

Yesterday was Christopher's first birthday. We went to IHOP for dinner, and they gave him a free ice cream and sang him Happy Birthday :) It was cute. He got to stay up past his bedtime - not much past, but a little bit.
Today we're having a small party for him.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAUREN!

<3

Miss you!

To the EVIL TWIN and the SLIGHTLY MORE EVIL TWIN!


You know who you are... and you know which one is which :)

He's 11 months and 1 week. He's walking - only short bursts at a time, but he's walking! :) Yay!
Also, he's started throwing tantrums. haha - they're funny!

Weight
On December 26 when I got my new-fangled scale, I weighed 167.4, with a 28.5 BMI. Today I weighed 150.0. I'm learning how to eat properly, and in the appropriate portions. Doing well.
