Just add water...

And the people in the metro area forget about brakes, stop signs, turn signals, and traffic lights. But the good news is everyone was okay! I was rear-ended pretty hard on the way to work today about three miles from my house. It was quite a shock, I never even saw it coming, coins from my coin tray sprinkled all over me, my body is a little sore, my boots were covered in mud from talking to the police on the side of the road… what excitement!! The Camry doesn’t look so pretty, but nothing that my friends at the body shop can’t fix. Now I just have to remember to be careful in Mom’s driveway when I get it back!

Rocks, Foundue, and Octupi

Last Saturday, I spent a couple of hours at an indoor rock climbing facility. It was challenging – my arms definitely are not that strong – but a lot of fun. It was nice to do something a bit out of the ordinary, and I got a chance to meet more people. I joined an outdoor group that does a lot of activities in and around the city. I signed up for caving in a couple of weeks, so that is next!

Later in the weekend, I visited with mom’s visitor, see the pics on her page for all the good food we ate. In honor of JT, we had a choo-choo train at the sushi restaurant and then fondue at my house. Moxie enjoyed having people over just as much as me – and she was pretty well-behaved, too.

It is raining and cold here, so tonight Moxie and I had to forgo our walk and we played our favorite game: fetch with the orange rubber octopus! She seems pretty tired, but so am I!!

Disco Fever

So Saturday night I attended a charity function for C-ville Service League. The annual disco ball was quite a draw for some very interesting people. We had a blast and maybe even tried to dance the hustle!

Our costumes fit in very well with the rest of the crowd. Several people asked where I found my dress and I was proudly able to say it was an original!! Thanks Mom!

The go -go boots were a must - and actually pretty comfortable - although I did get some funny looks at the gas station on the way home!

I also made some new friends at the party!

It was fun to dress up and step out of my comfort zone and try something new. I wish the crowd had been slightly younger because I was looking to meet new people. Overall though, I have to say I am glad I was talked into going - we got to dance, eat some good food, act silly, and raise money for a good cause! Now what's next??
