scariest movie EVER

Thanks to Jaws, I am terrified of sharks attacking me. Thanks to this movie, I do not like masks. I remember watching this and how terrified I was. It's always raining, there are creepy twin girls and that church "aaaah ahhh aaah" music in the backround. When I attended my sister's first communion, I was watching my back. My children are mad at me for not letting them roam the neighborhood in masks. Well, I won't let them swim nude in the ocean at night either.
I love horror movies but this one scares the willies out of me.

MY Team in Training Training...is that redundant?
Training has been...well, difficult. Kate is a great motivator because I hate to run. But let me tell you, this little girl has a lot of fight and hope in her. She is kicking this Leukemia thing's behind with a bog ol smile on her dimpled little face. Yesterday she began the maintenance phase of her journey. Can I get an AMEN?

I have a great mentor with TNT. Thank you Joanna for all your spirit, advise and pep talks. I have a great running buddy, Whitney, who I adore (with or without underwear). She keeps an eye out when I need to pee in the woods. Super friend.

Here is my own motivational quote to myself when I doubt how I will ever do this:

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end; then stop."
-Lewis Carroll, from Alice in Wonderland

for Crystal with love

Say it with me Frankfurter Spectacular!
I just don't have words but I feel the need to share the love. I so want to have a dinner party. now. Something is inspiring me.

Halloweenie

I looooooove halloween.

I waited too long to start the costume planning and I am bummed. This is truly what I would like us to be but I can't whip this up in a few days and I can't order from this company in China for 2 reasons:

1) would take too long to get here

2) this is on the order form--"open eye/mouth/ hood seperated/ add crotch zipper/ bra zipper/add penis pocket /is free . VERY IMPORTANT After pay please give me your Height and Weight and Request"

methinks this is not intended for costume but for some kind of fetish and I don't want them to have my address. But I reallllly want to activate my wondertwin powers.

while I am on the subject of Halloween...... why oh why is the women's section in the costume store the "slut section?" Marc and I were perusing and trying to come up with a cute couples thing (not one of those gross plug & outlet duos). We found speedracer for him (so cool), raced (like that?) over to the girls side to find slutty pit girl. He found a monk robe and I found slutty nun. SLUTTY NUN! cmon. I ordered online and we are going to be pirates. Mine comes with fishnet stockings!

Art for bibliophiles and those like me obsessed with paper.Check out this artist's website http://www.sublackwell.co.uk/ Beth could probably do this just as she created the amazing paper star from last year's gift swap. memories...... Inspired by a book (now a doodled-on masterpiece handed down though friends) we each brought silly gifts to exchange. I left with world's tiniest diamond earrings. Cameron took home my freudian slip (negligee with Sigmund's face) and Heidi got the added bonus can of spotted dick (who knew it was dessert?). My best guess has that can in someone's possesion only temporarily before it is gag-gifted again. What will we come up with this year?

Nine years ago today I gave birth to this beautiful boy. There is not a kid out there like him. Love him so!

Fall Festival

What fun! What a team! Angela and Carolyn need a standing ovation for all their effort and creative ideas for a super fun day for the entire community. I enjoyed the zip line the best. Was that supposed to be for the kids? :)
Carolyn is so full of goodness. She is standing there smiling and making the day fun for all our families while her sweet Kate is at home in pain. She is the embodiment of grace.
Whitney is my other husband currently as we spend as much time together or on than phone as we do with our spouses. Love her! Love working with her. As much heartache as we get, we are working for the greater good and making things happen at our little school.
