Topic: OT: Look Mommy, I made a water park!
If I had had the peace of mind to grab a camera, I would have, but at the time, I was sooooo pissed!
Many of you know that a couple of weeks ago, we took the kids to an indoor waterpark. Liv had a ball... She apparently wanted to recreate the experience tonight in the shower. Being that we don't have a tub and the computer is about 10 feet away, I often start the shower and let her play in there with some little toys and a small bucket while I check my email, etc...
She came out of the bathroom and said "Mommy, I made a water park and it's GIGANTIC!!!!" and I said, "Mmm hmm, that's good baby.' Two minutes later, I go in to check on her only to find 2 inches of water standing in my bathroom and the shower stall filled to overflowing with the bucket turned upside down over the drain.... I immediately shut the water off, remove said bucket, and start hollaring bloody murder... Yell outside for Aaron to come in to help and hear water in the basement. Send Aaron to the basement to check that out while I deal with the bathroom, at which point he lets loose a stream of expletives and promptly walks BACK outside, leaving me to clean up the mess...
Sigh...
I LOVE how kids have such GREAT ingenuity and imagination...
This waterpark is now closed until further notice. I'm removing ALL of her toys for a couple of weeks to teach her a lesson...
If it had happened to anyone else, or if I had caught it on video in order to get a chance to win $10,000, it'd be a WHOOOOOLLLLLLEEEEE lot funnier....

Topic: I Did It - The Breast Cancer 3-Day
As you may (or may not) know, I spent the summer training for the Breast Cancer 3-Day. Well, all that training paid off. Not only did I complete the three days, I did it with nary a blister.
A year ago I never would have even considered signing up. WLS has not only benefitted me, but the Susan G. Komen Foundation and my cousin Gretchen who walked with me.
If you have even just entertained the thought of doing this, I would strongly encourage you to do it. There is most likely one happening near you. You can start fundraising now if the thought of raising $2200 is holding you back. The dates for 2007 should be announced in September and I am already planning for it. If you can't walk, consider volunteering or working as a crew member. if you can't do that, donate to someone or come out and cheer during the event.
I met some amazing people, heard some inspiring stories and was overwhelmed by the gratitude of strangers who came out to cheer on the walkers, make signs, hand ou****er and frozen sponges.
If you want to see pictures, go to my album for the weekend.

Thank you to those of you who wished me well, donated money or just asked how it was going.
Take care,

PS Now that my Saturday mornings are open again, I will see you at Eagan coffee. If my calendar is correct, that's this Saturday (8/26).

Topic: Pictures?
It has never really occured to me until now but how do you guys get your pictures on here, or start a picture trail? I would love to show you pics of me. I have one on the day of surgery, 3mo out, 6 mo out, 9 mo out, and at a year out. I always figured it was really complicated as I am computer illiterate.
