Getting back to normal...

I'm better for the most part...thank god! Still have a lingering cough and my energy is slowly coming back, but almost 100%. Poor Rebecca has been on her own mostly all last week. She was so good, just playing in her room, watching A LOT of movies and being very helpful.
So on Friday, I felt pretty good that she and I went bowling. We met up with a friend of mine and her best friend and had a good time. We went bowling again today, but man I was sore from bowling on Friday. Who would've thought bowling would make you sore? I am! I didn't even break 100 and Rebecca almost beat me! There is a NASCAR league starting up on Feb. 6th that me and my friend Cheryl are going to go to and Rebecca is going to go to a Barbie league on Wednesdays starting the 4th. After 18 weeks, Cheryl and I will get a leather jacket for our choice of driver (me...Jeff Gordon...who else?). And Rebecca will get a Barbie bowling ball and bag after 16 weeks. We're all excited. Fun times ahead. Joe didnt' want to join, it makes him way too sore. He's good though so that's a loss for us. But we'll turn it into a girls night out on Monday evenings. I'm going to go in tomorrow and buy my own bowling ball. Hey I gotta look like I know what I'm doing at least! ha!
Relay is only 60 days out! I'm ready for it to get here. All this work, I'm ready to see how it's all going to go. We've got a celebrity coming out to play an acoustic set for us. Frank Wright. He was the orginal guitarist for 'Chicago' and for 'Sonny & Cher'. He's Joe's record producer. We're starting to advertise him coming and the community seems to be excited. I hope it brings in a bunch of people who will donate a few bucks for the cause. I don't think we'll raise the $90,000 I was hopeing for. I was wanting to get 60 teams signed up, but we're just under 30...with only 2 months left to go, don't think we'll get it. But it'll be fun anyway. We've already got more teams than last year. It's progress non the less. Ready for it to get here and be over with. It's been a long 9 months so far since the end of our last Relay. It's been a great experience, glad I did it, but not sure I'll do it again...in this capacity. It's way too stressful.

I've got Bronchitis!!!

Good times!!! I feel like %&@$!!! I can't say 2 words with out coughing up a lung and my throat is so raw that it's bleeding. I can honestly say I have never been this sick in my entire life...as far as I can remember. I think I'd rather have broken bones and food poisoning at the same time, than to have this. The antibiotics and cough medicine really isn't helping too much yet. But I've only been on them 1 full day. I'm missing some fun today too: lunch with the girls and scrapbooking with the girls. Whaaaa!!!!

Guess What?????

Joe and I are so going to get to meet Jeff Gordon next month!!!!!! Everyone knows I loooovvveee my Jeff Gordon and that I'm a NASCAR freak. So I signed up for this thing on his fan club site (yep, I'm a fan member/stalker), and they put your name in a lottery type thing and pick names. Ours were selected!!! I'm so friggin' happy!! About 150 people from all over get selected, so it's pure luck, but I'll take it. I think Roz may have had something to do with this... you think?

Rest in Peace Roz.

Here's a picture of Roz and Rebecca in June '06.

She passed away from cancer early this morning. I will miss her dearly. She has been such a huge part of my life and it will never be the same without her, but it would'nt have been the same without her in it either.

I can't believe she's gone. I love you Roz.
