Curious minds want to know!!!

I know everybody has been wanting to how the diabetes walk went. And It did! AHHH Saturday started out so early at 7 AM, and guess who decided that would be the perfect day to sleep in?? SON! He never does, and I got ready and still had to wake him up... But we did manage to leave the house on time, only 10 mins after we said we would! The walk venue was an hour away from house and 5 mins before we got there guess who threw up all over the back seat and in his car seat and on his clothes... YEP. Guess who is awesome and brought a change of clothes for him, ME! I got lucky on that! We decide to go ahead and go because we are almost there and if he does throw up again we would just go home....

We get there and register and there are a LOT of people there A LOT, several thousand actually... who knew?? So there was a lot of waiting. A LOT! And being so awesome I did not bring water for me and hub, because I thought we would be at the zoo and I would just refill our Zoo cups we brought there for $5 for a $1 and we did just half way through the event... good thing they had the worse water ever available to all the walkers. And it is starting to get HOT like really really hot.... But we made it and we did the walk despite all the people that came. We did have decent time and we might go back and do it again MAYBE. But I am fine donating money and not walking... I don't think me walking and being unhappy is really going to save lives... In fact it might harm some... I think the diabetics would rather have my money anyways..

The best part about the whole walk was that it was at the zoo! That is always fun but after walking in the HOT, HOT sun and sitting through the birds of prey show with a 2 year old I was ready to go.... Remind me not to show the movie "The Birds" to my son, or go feed bread or seeds to birds with him.. Can you guess he did not care for the Birds of prey show..... It was a touch scary... I do not want to be pecked to death by birds either.... So that was my first walk for Charity... I give it a C+ only because of such poor crowd control... And the heat and the throw up but the ADA had no control over that.

On a totally unrelated note.... I got caught up on Mad Men... I know I was 2 shows behind... So a lesson from the show: John Deere Lawnmower + liquor + being at work = BAD.... Like that would ever happen now a days... But I guess in the 60s it did all the time... Why aren't you watching that show!?!?!!?

Wacky Wednesday....

So still a lot going on in my life.....

1. I finally WON something!!! A blog make over... (i almost typed blog make-out) hmmmm Any way I won a fabulous prize from a fabulous person... I think Kristina picked me on purpose for a few reason... 1. I attacked her with a baby stroller when I first met her... 2. I am a touch crazy. 3. I am awesome. 4. She did not want to read the blog I would have wrote if I had not won. Not to hate on the calendar... I really would have liked it! I was already thinking about the hand written Thank you note, I was going to send to the gal that was giving them away.. But I am very humbled and grateful for the victory. So Look for the new blog background coming soon! It was good I won, I was seriously thinking Kanye and Jon Gosselin were doing better in life then I was.............

2. Going to see the Wizard of Oz tonight... SOOOO AWESOME..... Awhile ago Hub told me about this crazy Wizard of Oz movie he use to watch when he was little and how scary and messed up it was and about the nightmares it gave him. He could never find the movie and I thought he was crazy and dismissed it... UNTIL LAST NIGHT and heard this... "Leah I found the movie and I am acquiring it as we speak... And its called 'The Return to OZ" and its all about Dorothy when she gets back and all the awful things that happen to her... I AM LIKE WHAT!?!? I DON'T WANT TO WATCH THAT!?!? AND WHY DID YOUR MOM LET YOU WATCH THAT WHEN YOU WERE LITTLE.... Because it came out in 1985 and it was made by Walt Disney... I will probably do another Wizard of Oz blog soonish.

3. Don't forget about the Diabetes Walk on Saturday..... And I am still taking sponsorship money for that. Please email if you have questions.

4. Its Autumn here now. Cold in the morning and Warm in the Afternoon ...... Its lovely.

5. I know someone that lives of the grid.... ??????? Yeah you know those people that live out in the middle of no where with No Utilities, Lots of Guns.... My BFF was telling me about how her Sister and family just did that.... WOW I am still in shock... There is more to the story... But the point is that I am shock that people live off the grid.... I like power, water, sewer systems, fast food, diet coke.... You know the basic.... I can live with out my computer and the internet, I could but I don't want to. I should probably do a no computer day but my crops and people would die in my games..... And I can't have that happen...

I was thinking about having a Life Letters Group on Facebook I am going to think about it. You know I love the Facebook... then I worried about what If people that joined wanted to be friends on their and they saw all my pictures and info and that I was on there all the time... I will toy with the idea some more and would like your input....

xoxoxo
