Wanted to go to the Elks meeting, but we ended up in the ER instead. Ron had gone to his doctor's office, and they were worried he had pneumonia, so they sent him to the ER. Thankfully, it was determined it was bronchitis. Hopefully, he'll feel better soon!
Tonight is the first Elks meeting that Ron and I will attend as members! :-)
I'm very excited, especially since this will be a meeting to bring in some more people, so we get to see the ceremony that we had to participate in from the outside. I'm really looking forward to getting involved. Just have to be careful of making too many time commitments!
Saturday was the Clifton DCA show, and it was extremely fun. Really enjoyed seeing the people that I used to march with. Singing the National Anthem with the chorus was nice, though too quick!
There is definitely a special bond that forms between you and the people you have marched with.
Also had the company picnic that day. That was fun, too, but I had to leave early. Am glad that I went to both events.
Had a great time at the Regis and Kelly high heel-a-thon. I didn't win or make it on tv, but it was a lot of fun, and my aunt and cousin enjoyed it, too. I was slow and steady and not last. :-)
I'm number one (hundred and ninety)!
I am in this clip somewhere - I came in around when the clock above the finish line was in the 40's, and when I cross the finish line, I raise my arms above my head. I'm in a white t-shirt towards the right of the screen!
Another cool thing is that we will be in the Guinness Book of World Records for participating in the largest high heel race!
Go Team Faith!
Okay - I think I'm set! I have my new pink heels, homemade Team Faith shirt and shorts ready! I will be sure to post plenty of pictures.
This is a good thing. Everyone is using it - it might as well gain an extra measure of legitimacy.

The funniest thing happened. I was looking for ways to help Faith, and I came across this website while on the March of Dimes website:
http://bventertainment.go.com/tv/buenavista/regisandkelly/special/highheel/index.html
It's a High Heel-a-thon sponsored by Regis and Kelly - proceeds of registration going to the March of Dimes. I applied through a lottery system, never expecting to actually get picked, and I found out that I am registered to participate! I believe I'm one of about 400 women participating. It would be unliekly, but if I were to win, the $25,000 would be enough to pay for all of the surgeries my niece will have to endure by the time she is two years old. If nothing else, I would get to be on TV, get noticed and possibly meet Regis and Kelly!
I actually took care of a birthday lunch today for two of my coworkers. I bought cards, made lunch reservations, got the cards signed and bought a cake. So far so good. I didn't leave anything home or mix up the cards or anything else crazy that could have happened. :-)
Is it wrong for me to think this is awesome?

If this is true in humans as well as mice, this is quite a breakthrough!

I remember turning 30 in April and being so happy that I had finally (sort of) figured things out. Now between losing the cat, finding out about Faith, having a new puppy and various other things that are going on in my life right now, I can honestly and truly say that I don't know anything. I guess that's okay, though because it's quite possible that nobody else really does either. We all just go around acting like we do. I guess it's a human thing.
Ron and I were initiated into the Elks last night. Yay!
"The faults of our members we write on the sand, their virtues upon the Tablets of Love and Memory."
Powerful stuff...
I've been taking the train and Vonage shuttle to work this week because my car is in the shop and my mechanic can't figure out what the heck the noise it's making is from. (Hey, if he's ruled out all the major stuff, I'm willing to live with the noise.)
The thing is this... I like to get to the train station early because I'm paranoid. So, I'm generally hanging out for a half an hour to get on the 8:42 train. The only thing to look at is Henry St.
Once I get to Hazlet, I need to wait 20 minutes for the shuttle. There is nothing but parking lot.
Beautiful day like today... Out in the fresh air... No scenery.
Seems wrong, no?
I am having the worst case of Friday-itis I've had in a long time... Too bad it's Wednesday. :-(
Pumpkin died this morning, June 8th, 2008. I know a lot of people say this about their pets, but he was an incredible cat. He used to demand attention by crawling on Ron's back while he was on the computer, jumping into our laps, or laying on my books as I was studying for my master's degree. He would visit us at night, lay on my hair and spend hours purring while we were trying to sleep.
Pumpkin taught me what it is to really have a pet and not have your parents do all the work for you like my previous pets.
From Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem In Memoriam:27, 1850:
I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.
I think Pumpkin is dying... He now outright refuses to eat, he cries when he tries to walk. He pees all over the floor even though Ron got him a litter box for the basement.... He sleeps face down with his nose touching the floor.... :-(
Skippy pees on the floor.
Pumpkin is still extremely fussy about eating.
Helmut will wait until you take him out alone to do his business (or even walk more than 3ft away from the house!)
Had a cold. Gave it to Ron. Had an eye infection.
Getting new sunglasses tomorrow.
Work is busy.
I've lost 5 pounds since starting Wii Fit and that's with not using it every day.
