Ground Control to Major Tom....

Well, so I finally picked a costume!!  I have chosen to be a demented version of Alice in Wonderland.  For those of you who ever played the video game "Alice," it's kind of like that with my own little spin.  I'm very excited.  I haven't gotten to go out for good Halloween fun in several years.  Usually it is trick or treating with the kids and then home, but this year no.  It's on Friday and the next day is my birthday, thus I'm going full out!  Paul is going to be a demented version of the Mad Hatter.  I decided that would be appropriate given my Alice.  I will take the kids trick or treating and then my mom will babysit them for me as I go out and introduce the world to my own version of Alice! Hopefully the temperature cooperates. :) 

(Misguided) Pride of the South - The Sequel

Well I have an answer to my question posed in my previous blog found here.  Who would buy such a ring as this?  Well, so it seems I have had several hits on my page from people in Virginia and Florida who found my page by running a Google search for this ring.  I am honestly not trying to be offensive, but seriously, do they understand the symbolism of this ring?  Yes, yes.  I'm sitting in front of my computer shaking my head as I type....

Insert Comical Title Here ****An Update in the Life of Jennifer*****

Well hello there my Blogger friends.  It's been awhile since I gave an update on myself.   I'm sure you are all on the edge of your seats. :P  Apparently the humor has left me.  I can usually come up with at least some sort of humerous or at least midly humorous title to put on these things, but that's the best I've got for today.  I'm getting old apparently.  I guess it happens to all of us, but for some reason I'm just constantly exhausted and thus I feel like an old lady.  Sadly, though it's been awhile since I actually gave an update on myself, I have nothing very interesting to say.  I'm still trying to move out of the Voodoo House, though I promise that I will pick up the story where I left off and put out new material as soon as I have time.  It's very hard to write for pleasure when school is in session. :)  I have plenty of material from my time here, plus plenty of invented material that I should be able to put together a fairly entertaining story.  I need a new picture for my profile.  That one is so old and I am horrible in all photos.  Any ideas for interesting photos?  Lay 'em on me. 

I'm trying to decide what to be for Halloween.  Yes at 28 (29 in about 10 days) I still feel the need to dress up.  I think Halloween is just the best holiday of the year.  Dressing up and letting one of your alter egos loose for the night is always fun, well provided your alter ego isn't completely psycho.  I don't think any of mine are...well not yet anyhow lol.  I want to go out one night and hit several of the haunted houses around town.  I've been to some of them in years past.  I haven't been impressed by most of the ones I have been able to get to; however, I've seen a few that seemed promising.  Anyone else out there been to any here and been truly scared?

I'm finding it hard not to comment on politics here; however, I am trying to save all of that material strictly for my commentary blog.  It's hard to hold back though since it is just so easy to find material right now.  Must fight urge to type...Palin....moron...ok, it's out of my system...for now.

My Yoga class is good.  In about 11 days I'll be doing the Race for the Cure downtown.   I'm still begging for people to contribute to me (see previous blog), so if you can and/or want to, support finding the cure by being a donor for me!! 

That's it for now!  Pele out :P

Race for the Cure

I am going to participate in this year's 5K Race for the Cure that will benefit the Susan Komen Foundation. 

If at all possible, please go to this page and make a donation to support me in this race!  I'm going to have my daughter walk it with me (I am not competing in the timed race of course). 

Breast cancer is something that has always been there and always a concern to me, but it has become very personal with a friend's diagnosis at a young age with breast cancer.  Understand that breast cancer affects 1 in 7 women at some point in their life.  We tend to think of it as older women, but my friend is in her early 30s, which is becoming more and more common.  Your support is much appreciated!
