I Know I'm Crazy, It's Okay...

How many of you know that first Saturday in May is Free Comic Book Day?  Don't feel bad if you don't because I didn't know for years.  Then when my son was about 5 we went for the first time and it was a blast.  I had no idea what to expect.  They had charcters there.  Darth Vader, Storm Troopers, Spider-Man, Robin, just to name a few.  Plus the pizza place next door was really smart and did a special offer that day for the patron's of the comic book store.  Then, the next year we went again and it was more fun.  Well last year, started a new tradition with Kristin cosplaying as The Joker.  (Heath Ledger's).

You can guess which one is her.

She was a major hit last year.  She even got a pic with Batman.  This was like a dream come true for her.  Then it got ten times better when Batman asked if she would pose with his daughter who was dressed up like Batgirl!  

So this year she did it again, and so did Emily...and so did I!  Yup.  Me.    

Kristin and Emily were Jack Frost(Rise of the Guardians--if you haven't seen it please do!) and Elsa (Frozen---if you haven't seen it I can't talk to you anymore!)  They both got asked for pictures and hugs!

Costumes are homemade...wigs are bought.  (it was HOT!)

Elsa

But I said I did it too...

No, I wasn't a missionary!  You sillies!  But they were there!  Oh I had a good time pretending...but even more fun here....
At the Relay for Life in the fight against cancer, because folks even LOKI hates cancer!!  And let's face it, FIREMEN!  Hello!  Kristin posed with them as Jack but alas, I do not have that one.  Howver...we went home for a bit...changed and came back since it was a 24 hour event and posed with the same firemen! 
Oh darn, those firemen didn't recognize us!

My mom was there for this round.  She walked a 5K thank you very much!

Me and my fierce WW Leader and Team Leader for Relay for Life!  You Go Kimmy!

Oh and how much did I walk?  Well....
the 5K charm marks the point when I completed a 5K.  I walked a 10K.  Not to shabby.  I was sore the next day.

Woohoo! Great job girl! So awesome you walked 10K. Sounds like such a fun day and love that you all get into the comic day and dress up.

Always fun to pose with fireman :)

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

Image
That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters. Why do they give such ch
