THINK PINK

Thank you. We did it! WOW!(July 29 & 30, 2006) Thanks to 2,140 participants and the generous support of donors like you, the 2006 Weekend to End Breast Cancer™ in Calgary was a huge success. Together we raised 6,000,000 dollars to make a difference in the fight to end this disease, so we thank you 6,000,000 times. Proceeds from The Weekend will help the Alberta Cancer Foundation fund critical research, screening programs and patient programs. So, on behalf of our researchers, medical specialists, patients and families at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre and throughout Alberta, thank YOU for making The Weekend such a spectacular success. Because you stepped up to help, thousands of Albertans will benefit and generations to come will know a cancer-free future.
Of course, our fight to end breast cancer does not end here. The Alberta Cancer Foundation has long term goals that require long term funding so we'll be back in 2007!
Why not consider joining us next year as a Walker! You already know about The Weekend and what an incredible impact it makes, so why not walk the walk yourself? (From the Alberta Cancer Board Press Release, July 31, 2006).

I went for my mammogram this month and got good news.........no tumors, lumps or bumps. Almost 3 years in remission. October 14th I will be having a HUGE celebration as that is the day the cancer was removed from my body for ever!!! Ladies "A Must Do"....monthly self exam.

WEST EDMONTON GRAND PRIX RACING

What a weekend!!!!!!!!!! I got to spend my whole weekend with my two favorite guys in the world. What more can a girl want???

It was in the plus 30's all weekend long. I've got a red glow to me still. Maybe the glow is from having Da Prince to myself for 4 days and meeting Paul Tracy and getting his autograph and getting my picture with the gorgeous car race driver???

WHAT A WEEK.......LOTS OF SUN AND FUN

Hello...did you miss me? I had an amazing week!!!

First of all, I headed out to Sylvan Lake to meet my best friend for days of relaxing and fun. The weather was sucky...........so we didn't get to lay out on the beach. We did get to go for a walk on the beach in the evening......that was relaxing. So instead of being beach bums, we enjoyed our time of visiting and of course shopping. We went to a good movie.............You & Me & Dupre..........funny movie. We went cruising in my friend's Mustang Convertible...........I want one now!!!! The visit was way too short.

After Sylvan Lake, I headed over to Edmonton.........I had the "NEED FOR SPEED". To be continued Monday.........West Edmonton Grand Prix.

P.S. I finally got to meet my other man in person..........The One and Only Paul Tracy..........got pictures to prove it.

LEAVING COWTOWN

I will miss you blogger fans. I am running away for a week. I leave Monday, July 17th for 4 days of sun and fun with my bestfriend @ Sylvan Lake. Then on the afternoon of July 20th, Da Prince is picking me up at the motel in Sylvan Lake to head to Edmonton for 4 days.

In Edmonton we are going to be race car groupies. Thursday 20th, I will go get autographs from my other man, Paul Tracy and his teammate A.J. Allmendinger.Friday 21st and Saturday 22nd, we will go watch the practice rounds and qualifying sessions. Maybe go shopping at West Edmonton Mall? Sunday the 23rd.....RACE DAY!!! I am so excited!!

She was born July 2, 2006. Her birth place is Aldersgrove, B.C. She will be ready to join our family August 16, 2006. When we get her home, I will post new pictures of her for you. She will steal your heart cuz she is sooooo cute. Her name will be Skye Blue.

(Photos taken by Da Prince) Thank you Da Prince....nice baby pics.

I'M BORED

I'm bored.. is a "dangerous" thing for me to say. I seem to get into trouble when I am bored. What to do in a time of boredom? Start a new hobby.

I learned to make stepping stones this week.

Frog

Duck

Tropical

Flowers

As you can tell, the tops of the stepping stones are still damp. They will look better in a day or two.

The fun part was smashing the glass for the stones. I went to a second hand store and bought plates, and glasses. I took them home and beat up the plates and glasses with a hammer inside a pail. Good way to get rid of pent up frustrations.

I also learned a trick for the next round of stepping stones. If you use a spring form cake pan, you can make smoother and better finished stepping stones.

Since I bought a 50 pound bag of cement, I think I will be kept busy for awhile. Boredom shouldn't be an issue this week. (Da Prince..........I need you to come here asap. I can't lift the bag of cement out of my jeep, so I have to make many trips to the jeep and fill a small bowl with cement and then come and mix and pour it into the molds. Then go back down two flights of stairs to the jeep again and again. I am gonna get in shape at this rate).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIL' SISTER SHARON!!!HOPE YOU HAVE FUN TODAY!!!
