Her race was BRILLIANT

Taking a little break to update....
I always think pictures speak louder than words...
So...

The hardest thing for me
was that a part of me still expected to see Alex come around the bend....

I do know that she was proud of us that day...
Thank you all for your support. xe

***ETA---I should have said earlier, I did not make this amazing video. It was passed on to me by a dear friend, who when she noticed that Alex was in it thought I might like to see.

Leaving on a jet plane

Tomorrow.

We leave tomorrow.
I can't believe it's already time for the race...

So tomorrow we will be flying...
I'm terrified of flying..
I'm so excited.
I may throw up....
I can't wait.
I will cry...
It's going to be great.
I may in fact have a nervous breakdown...

and...
The race is on Saturday.
I'm praying it all comes together and everything goes smoothly...
It's amazing to me, that it's time....

Oh...

I mentioned not being overly fond of the black tshirts...
but,
I had to get Jared a new one because the printing was crooked,
and the new one,
well, I love it.
The reason I didn't like the first,
was that there was a "box" around the winged"A"...
well,
low and behold,
there isn't suppose to be a box.
Much better when you have the right shirt.
So, I take back the earlier dis on the black shirt.
and...
if yours has a "box" around it...
ask for a new one..
they'll fix it.

After the race,
we're heading to the lake for a little r&r...
when I return...
tons of photos.

ps.
thankyou ALL for your support.

Well said.....

The Good, the BAD, and the Ugly...

Heeeheee....
Thanks to Jen, I got to do a little self reflection...
her CJ theme is based on a blog entry Meg wrote,
about her personality traits, the good, and the not-so-good.
WELL, wouldn't you know...
I'm mostly bad.
Sort of like Stitch.
My bad-level is unusually high....
It is sort of pathetic when the list of "bads" doubles the list of "goods"...
yeah,...

So, I had this concept in my head back when she first said what her theme would be,
of basing the pages on my scorpio "traits"...
because I'm pretty true to my sign.
I had in my head angel wings, and a badass scorpio....
and when I couldn't find what I wanted online,
I was forced to draw.
You can ask Gab...you just can't sway me once the image is set in my head.
BUT
I'm a lazy artist,
I drew one wing,
scanned it
and printed the mirror image...
whoa...
Bad e.
I'm a little stressed though,
and cross-hatching is sort of cathartic for me..
so it was all good.
Hope you like this CRAZY entry Jen...

And if you're meeting me next week for the first time...
I'm really not all that BAD! :)

*Jack said he'd like the wings much better if I would have colored them,
"like a blue jay maybe"....

HAPPY Birthday to YOU!!!!

HAPPY Birthday dear SUPER SPICY spazmafraz....Happy BIRTHDAY to you....
I LOVE YOU. xxxxe
