Speaking of Easter....

Okay, maybe we're not speaking of Easter, but I was going through some files on my computer this morning and found this picture.

I think it was taken at Easter, just a few years ago. Okay, maybe it was actually taken in like 1982 or so, but the point is that I look a lot different now. So does my brother for that matter. I never realized he had such big ears. That's definitely thanks to my dad's side of the family.
I sure do think Asher looks like my brother - perhaps even more than he looks like Steve or myself.

There's nothing really significant about this picture,  I just thought my boy was being extra cute this week!

No time to blog lately. Here's what we've been up to.

- Went to my friend Diana's wedding last Saturday. Her son Rafael is just 2 days younger than Asher and they're best buds, so Diana wanted us to bring Asher to the wedding rather than get a babysitter. He was great, but stayed up till 10:30 that night partying at the reception and then at 2:30 am decided he was up for the day. How exhausting! The later this kid goes to bed, the earlier he gets up. It's so strange to me. Needless to say, we've already found a babysitter for Mike & Aleesha's wedding in a couple weeks.  We're not going through this again!

- I took Asher to the hospital for his swallow study on Wednesday. What an ordeal! I didn't really know what to expect as the only information I got was that the specialist was going to watch him eat. What they failed to tell me was that they were going to watch him eat while they took X-rays. For 2 hours.  I was not happy that they failed to mentioned about the x-rays. It was traumatizing for me and Asher. Because of pregnancy and the radiation from the x-rays, I couldn't stay with him and feed him myself as planned, so he had all these strangers in lab coats standing around him trying to get him to eat in a dark room and they wondered why he wouldn't cooperate.  I felt so bad for my little guy. It was horrible to not be able to be with him through all this and just hear him scream from down the hall. Needless to say, it was a giant waste of time as the results were inconclusive because he was so upset that he wouldn't really eat more than 2 bites and so they didn't get any good x-rays. It was a rough day for both of us.

- Today we get to go see this not so little baby growing in my tummy. I'm excited! Even with all the special targeted ultrasounds we had to have when I was pregnant with Asher, I don't believe any of them  happened when I was this far along with my pregnancy. This little guy is pretty much fully developed, so I'm excited to see him and anxious to hear if he's really as huge as the doctors seem to think he is. If so, it might make feel just a little bit better about having to have another c-section. Embracing that has been a struggle for me my entire pregnancy.

Along with all this hugeness, I've become rather creative with trying to entertain Asher. My latest invention is a modified form of peekaboo. All I have to do is slouch down on the couch and I can perfectly hide my head behind my belly to play some peek-a-boo with him. It works and he thinks it's hilarious that I can hide behind my tummy. Oh the joys of looking like a whale!

Weekend Update

The weekend was good around here! We started it off on Friday celebrating Steve's birthday with a beer float party. It was nice and low key with just a few of our closer friends. We spent Saturday running errands, but it was actually quite nice. Nothing real important on the agenda, I love those kinds of stress free days.

Saturday night we had another beer float party. Apparently Josh & Becca thought Steve's birthday party was on Saturday instead of Friday and showed up on our doorstep ready to party. Luckily we were home, so we all had a nice laugh over our beer floats and leftover birthday cake.

Sunday was a busy day, but not so busy that I got to take a 30 minute nap. Now that was nice! We ended the weekend by cooking dinner together and vegging in front of the tv. We also had a giggle fest with Asher. Who knew that saying "hi" could be so funny? The video seems to go on and on, and so did the laughter after I stopped recording. This kid is just so constantly happy it's unbelievable.

getting wiggy with it!

Steve got inspired to go through our "halloween box" the other day. I vaguely remember us getting these wigs on clearance from Target last year after halloween. The laughs we had trying on these wigs was well worth the $1.00 we spent on them!

Smoke Em' Buddy!

This last week has been a whirlwind with Sara and Amelia here. Lots of fun times and so refreshing for me to have my good friend here! More on that later though, just wanted to let the world know that I'm still alive.

I'll leave you with a picture of one of our weekend activities:

If the "Smoke Em Buddy" isn't clear enough, we stumbled upon a marijuana festival right downtown near the capitol. We heard some live music and saw some booths setup so wandered on over to see what was going on. We realized after we were the only people there with kids what kind of festival we were at! I was pretty surprised that such a festival wasn't illegal! Good thing I don't mind the smell of patchouli. Needless to say, we didn't stay long, but we did get a good laugh.

Taking Asher to a marijuana festival - definitely a first....and last! :)

Perhaps my smartest moment yet....

When I was still pregnant I had several friends recommend that I read "The Happiest Baby on the Block". This book was very helpful. Honestly, I don't think I ever finished it, but I got the most important part of the book - The five "S's". You can just google "the five s's" and get tons of links explaining what it is.

One of them though is shushing your baby. That's right, making a "shush" sound in their ear. We've found that Asher really likes this when he's upset. A lot of times this is the only thing that will really calm him down.

Sometimes it can get tiring though, so the other day I had the brilliant idea to record myself onto my phone while I was shushing Asher. Best thing I could have ever done! Now when he's upset I just pull out my phone and play the recording and it works like a charm! It also provides some comic relief, because when I was originally recording myself we were in the car with my dad and you can kind of hear the discussion that was going on between my dad and steve in the background. It goes something like this.

Steve: To your left is "visions". It's a strip club

Dad: Oh really

Steve: Yep, I've driven by it hundreds of times and never knew it was a strip club until one day Jenny told me. One of the girls Jenny used to work with actually quit her job caring for the elderly to go dance there.

Dad: Wow, that's quite a career change.

You want me to do what?!?!

I had the first "I'm the worst mom in the whole world" experience last night.

When Asher was first born and still in the hospital he got a little scratch on his cheek from his fingernails. I felt so bad and since then have tried to be very diligent about making sure his nails are filed down every other day. Steve and I often joke and call him "Wolverine" because it seems like this kids nails are constantly growing. I'm not sure if this is normal for newborns or not?

Anyway, so I filed down his nails on Saturday, but then yesterday afternoon Steve was feeding him and noticed something on his eyeball. After looking a little closer he realized that our son had a very small scratch on his eyeball and it looked like it had been bleeding. Naturally, we both freaked out. I felt so bad that our little boy had scratched his eyeball. He didn't seem like he was in pain and was happy as a clam, but still I felt so horrible. I cried for a good long while after telling Steve that we could never have any more kids because I had to be the world's worst mom.

I didn't sleep well last night because I kept thinking about the poor little guy's eyeball and wondering crazy things like if he was now blind (which it doesn't seem like he is). My mind ran wild.

He seems fine today - totally happy and not fussing at all, but I still feel bad. I called the doctor this morning to see what I should do and of all things she told me to spray a little breast milk in his eye. Not the answer I was expecting at all. Apparently it works like neosporin and is a natural antibiotic for babies with cuts and scrapes. I would have never known. She said he was probably fine and to bring him in if he seems like he's in pain or his eye gets swollen and pussy.

For now I'll try the breast milk trick. I am so amazed by God's intricate design that he truly thought of everything when he made us - even down the ingredients of the breast milk and all of the nutrition and healing properties that would come out of it. So amazing!

The Enchilada Diet....

I'm starting to think that Enchilada's may just be my lucky charm.

Let's go back to the day I went into labor..... It was a frustrating Saturday and all I wanted was to get our little guy out of me. I asked Steve to go to the grocery store and get some spicy food and make me some enchilada's for lunch, hoping that would speed things along a bit. Obviously, it did the trick when 15 minutes after finishing our meal my water broke.

Fast forward to yesterday....Annie was coming over for dinner and requested that Steve make some Enchiladas. This is the first time we've had enchiladas since the big water breaking experience. I jokingly told Annie that who knows what could happen after I fed Asher because it just seems like he might have a thing for enchiladas. It had been a frustrating last week because he's been going through some kind of growth spurt and has been waking up every hour to hour and a half to feed both night and day. Annie went home, I fed the baby and we all went to bed. Normally I just stay up till 12:30 or so when Asher wakes to feed and then go to bed after that until his next feeding. Last night I was so tired though and so when he fell asleep for his little catnap at 11:00 I decided I'd just go to bed to. Imagine my surprise when I woke to his little cries at 4:30.

I woke up Steve just to make sure that he hadn't woken up before and Steve had given him a bottle, but he said he hadn't. In my sleepy foggy state I almost wanted to do cartwheels when I had the realization - our boy had slept a full 5 1/2 hours!

No wonder I felt so good! That's the longest stretch of sleep I've had in months (even when I was pregnant I never slept that long due to my always full bladder, horrible heartburn and achy back).

I just couldn't believe it and thought maybe there was something to the enchiladas after all. Really, I know it's just a coincidence, but let me tell you, if there was even a chance that enchiladas would help get this kid to sleep through the night, I would be completely on board going with an all enchilada diet!

Here's to a great day after a good night's sleep!

Babies and Bargains

Here I am on a Saturday morning at 6:30 am. Why can't I ever get this sleeping in thing down? I even stayed up past 1:00 last night (a rarity for me) and still could only sleep an extra half hour this morning.
Hopefully I won't be paying for it later.
The only thing on earth that could make me stay up so late was that we were hanging out with the cutest thing EVER last night.....
I guess her parents are okay to, but she was by far the cutest entertainment of the evening.

Back to my not sleeping in. I woke up at 6:15 and couldn't stop thinking of all the things I needed to do this morning. One of them was updating "the list." If you somehow think I might be a cool person that is completely not a geek when it comes to planning or that I am not psychotically way to over-detailed, stop reading now. I wouldn't want to ruin your perfect image of me as a normal human being.

Back to "the list"....I created this spreadsheet a few weeks ago, back when I was at home sick and miserable for a few days. One column is full of things that we already have for the baby and the other column is filled with things I could think of off the top of my head that we need for the baby. Obviously the "need" side of the spreadsheet is WAY bigger than the "have" side.
So, I've been finding these great bargains lately and have been THRILLED that I can start editing my list by moving items from the "need" to "have" category. All of the above is why I could not allow myself to sleep in this morning, since my list was so out of date and every item was not in the correct column.
Wanna see what I was losing sleep over?
Three - count them, three items! Yes, I am a nerd. I was so excited about my purchases though, that I just couldn't wait to "log" them. Wanna guess how much I spent total on all of this stuff? $15!!! Amazing, eh? The best looking part of these items is the pretty little read clearance tag on the corner!

Of course, you can guess the items were purchased at my favorite place to shop....Target! I have this little routine down - on Tuesday and Fridays I work in my Fitchburg office, which is conveniently located down the street from Super Target, so I always stop in there to check out the deals. Friday is usually my "jackpot" day because I've learned they that they do new mark-downs on their current clearance items on Friday morning. Yep, the geek is truly coming out, because I am SO excited just thinking about this! I just love a good bargain!

So, all in all, I got a crib bumper, sleep positioner and a vibrating chair thing (I really don't know what it's called) for a total of $15. The vibrating chair was the big ticket item, ringing in at a whopping $9.00!

Anyway, now that my list is up to date and my life is no longer coming to an end, maybe I'll relax for a few hours until my lovely husband wakes up.
Hope you're all having a great weekend!

A little bit of randomness....

It's a good day for randomness. So far the happenings of my day include the following:

Back on the Bean - Yep, I'm drinking coffee again, but only in small amounts. I had completely given it up with pregnancy, but I've been having insanely horrible headaches these past few days and thought that maybe just a little bit of caffeine might help, so I've been indulging in a cup these last two days.

A Leprechaun Eyebrow - Remember my story about Annette and the Sharpie? The Sharpie has struck again. This morning Annette showed up in my office with green eyebrows. When I let her know she was looking a little greenish she muttered something to me about "I must have grabbed the wrong Sharpie out of my purse while I was driving." She never ceases to amaze me. Did I mention that she also gave me a very large green faux fur coat this week? She said she thought it would look beautiful on me and my bring out my gorgeous green eyes. I didn't even bother letting her know that my eyes were blue. Know of anyone that wants a green faux fur coat?

LOST - The excitement is building! I cannot wait for the final season of Lost to return next month. To further excite me, my friend Leslie is on vacation in Hawaii this week and yesterday laid out on the beach right next to where they were filming. I was SO jealous...not sure if I was more jealous about her being in Hawaii or watching Lost get filmed.

And that's all I got for today! Happy Hump Day!

Just a little mix up....

My mom is excited (to say the least) that she is going to be a grandmother.
When she asked me what we wanted for Christmas this year, I told her baby stuff - and stuff that was practical, not just like cute teddy bears or things like that.

So, the other day I got a box in the mail from Target. There was a gift nicely wrapped with a little card that had a printed message from my mom on it. Imagine my surprise when I opened it up and it was a handheld Tetris game. Wow. At first I thought my mother had gone off the deep end, until I looked at the packing slip and saw that it was actually supposed to be accessories for a breast pump.

Steve and I had a good laugh when we realized that some little boy somewhere was going to open his box, find MY breast pump accessories and think that Santa thought he must have been a naughty boy this year in order to receive something that must seem so repulsive to a 9 year old boy!

Needless to say, the Tetris game is getting returned.

Crickets In My Coffee...

Sounds gross, huh? I remember when I first moved to Texas 11 years ago the crickets are what I immediately hated the most about the state. Ok, maybe it wasn't crickets actually IN my coffee, but I remember that there were crickets everywhere and it absolutely disgusted me.

Steve and I decided to spice things up a bit the other night with some studying and planning, so instead of sitting at home took our projects to one of our favorite little cafe's near our house..

I was sitting there minding my own business on my laptop when I thought that I saw a cricket out of the corner of my eye. Just like that the little guy disappeared and I then concluded that I was just crazy and seeing things. A few minutes later the Barista came over looking like he was ready to slug at my head with a broom for some batting practice. It was then that I realized the there indeed must be a cricket and he was undoubtedly very near to me. The barista pointed out the little (or not so much) guy down near my feet and it was all I could do to not let out a girlish scream. Instead, I composed myself and promptly told the Barista that had he not made his way over to warn me of the impending cricket danger I would have pooped my pants right there on his fancy cafe chairs. He must have beat the cricket to it's death (and beyond) for a good 45 seconds....I'm still not sure if he shared my fear of crickets or he was just afraid of me adding some spice to his fancy chairs due to my previous threat. I do believe, however, that I saw a little bit of cricket fear in his eyes and I also felt the mutual bond over such a hatred for something as he apologized profusely for almost literally scaring the SH!# out of me.

It all took me back to Texas. I truly love the great state, but I absolutely loathe some of the things the the state has to offer - crickets, humidity and really huge spiders to name a few. Steve and are both convinced that someday we really want to move to Austin, but all I needed this evening was a friendly reminder of some of the glories of the Lone Star State that I'm definitely not missing. It was then that I promptly decided that I'm perfectly content with being a Wisconsin Cheese Head if it means I can escape those dangerous crickets that will most likely give me nightmares this evening.

The things we do....

Last night I went out with some ladies for work for dinner and drinks and somehow we got on the topic of the movie "My Big Fat Greek" wedding where Windex was used to solve all of lifes problems.

We started talking about the different products that we use that seem crazy to everyone else. I for example all keep some natural "Clean Well" hand sanitizer spray in my purse and found that it's great to use if I get a stain on my clothes while I'm out and about and it also eliminates my need for a Tide Stick (which don't work very good anyway, by the way).

And then Annette pipes in. To give you a little bit of background on Annette, the best way to describe her is crazy! She is a freelance interior designer. My company contracts her out quite frequently, so I work with her on an almost daily basis in some form or fashion. Annette is very well known in the community and lives in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in Madison, just down the street from the governor. You would never guess if it you met her though. She has a zany personaltiy and is at least 30 minutes late to every appointment and recently go pulled over and mistaken for a drunk driver by the officer - even though she was completely sober and hadn't had a drink for days. I can kind of understand why he might think that though, because if you didn't know her well you would really think that she might be on a mind-altering substance upon your first impression of her. That being said she has such a kind, caring and compassionate heart to help others and give back to the community and is a wonderful person that I am proud to know.

Anyway, back to our topic of conversation. Annette is known for putting her makeup on in the car, after all she lives pretty haphazardly. On a lucky day she'll get her eye makeup on while stopped at a red light, but many times she takes her chances and has streaks across her face from trying to put on "her eyes" while she's zooming down the belt-line. I've always wondered why she doesn't clean the makeup off when such "streaking" incidents occur and so one time I asked her about it. Her response was "well it's too late now, it's already stuck on my skin." Knowing Annette as I do, I figured I'd let it be at that. As we were talking about multi-purposing household items last night I began to understand what she means. You see, Annette uses a Sharpie Marker as an eye-liner pencil. Yes, a SHARPIE is what her makeup collection consists of. Even knowing Annette as I do, I was shocked and couldn't help to laugh until it brought tears to my eyes.

I was then reminded that maybe I'm just a little bit more normal then I give myself credit for. ;)

Motivation for Exercise: Beer

Steve & I have started frequenting Dexter's, local pub not to far from our house. It's only about a mile away so we walk there once or twice a week to get beer. The bartenders are really nice and there's a lot of folks from our neighborhood that hang out there as well.

Anyway...since last night was our first night without rain all week we decided we'd head over there after dinner and get a brew. We sat at the bar and struck up a conversation with the bartender and the folks sitting beside us and then found out that there would be a special beer tasting going on a little later that evening that we decided to hang around for.

We had good time drinking our Bud Lights (cause that's what you drink when you're on a budget) and then sampled the other 5 beers they were tasting that night.
Beer goes through me like nothing, but if you know me well you know that I absolutely HATE using public restrooms. Clean or not they gross me out. If we're out and I know we're going to be home within 2 hours and I have to use the restroom I'll almost always opt to hold it.

Anyway, so we started walking home and got barely a block away when both Steve & I realized that we REALLY had to get that beer out of our system. We decided to pick up our walking pace and looked like the speed walkers that I so enjoy making fun of (seriously, I think speed walkers look so funny and I can't help but laugh every time I see one of them out and about).

We passed another few blocks and decided to start jogging and then by the time we were 3 blocks away from our house we were in a full on sprint.
I'm sure we looked like complete idiots out running in our jeans and sweaters, but we didn't really care. The important fact is that we made it home just in time - sweaty, out of breath and with full bladders! We not only got a good workout in a but after we were safely home and had used the restroom we got a good laugh about it too!
Oh the things we'll do to avoid the things we hate!

The adventures of Batman & Jenny

Yes, what you are seeing in the little cage is a bat!
This thing tried to attack me this morning while I was minding my own business in my office. My maintenance guys must have thought I was crazy as I was yelling hysterically to them over the radios to book it to my office.
The little bugger wouldn’t give up either. It took Jeff coming down and slugging at him with a broom and hitting him across room (and breaking his wing in the process) to get him to settle down. I now have a new found respect for Jeff’s batting skills in the process.
We (mostly Jeff - I just sat there and screamed) then caged our friend “Mr. Bat” up and send him out into the cold.
Never a dull moment here!

It's gonna be a bright sun shiny day!

The beautifu view of the lake on my way to work this morning. (Don't worry, I was stopped at a red light when I took this picture)
I'm extremely excited to report that the sun is shining so much that I actually saw some grass pop out in our front yard underneath the melting snow this morning! It brought joy to my heart - so much joy in fact that I didn't even mind wading through a river of water from the melted snow to get from the back door to the garage.

Is it just wishful thinking to hope that spring is on the way?

On to other bizarre news, this morning as I exited the beltline and stopped at a light I was amazed to see hundreds (I promise I'm not exaggerating) of cigarette butts all over the side of the road as well as there was an unusually large amount of trash littering the roadway as well. Just a few feet away a saw a sign that read "Welcome to Fitchburg, Wisconsin's leader in recycling." I thought it was pretty funny to boast in the recyling when half the crap on the side of the road (soad bottles and such) should have been recycled. Oh Wisconsin!

dreaming of scientology....

Last night I had a dream that I was at a party and stumbled upon Suri Cruise (Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes daugher for those of you that don't read Perez). Anyway, it was such a weird dream, she was scared because she lost her parents, so I was carrying her all over town trying to find Tom & Katie for her, I even stole someone's moped and drove it around with her looking for her crazy parents.

Anyway..the dream was very weird and very random and I had to chuckle at myself a little bit once I woke up.
I don't dream very often, so when I do and it's so random and crazy like this I just have to wonder where that could have come from. HaHa!

Weekend Getaway

Now that the weekend is halfway here I figured I'd write about last weekend! Steve & I had a great time getting away for a few days. We decided to go camping!

We left Friday afternoon, got to our campsite, set up our tent and everything else and were just in the middle of grilling up some steaks when we heard the sound of rain. It came VERY quickly....along with lots of lightening and thunder. We rushed back to the car. Luckily we had brought our outback rather than the accord so we put the seats down, ate our half raw steaks and spent the next 2 hours watching the rain come down from the back of our car with a bottle of wine. Fun times!

Once the rain finally stopped we decided that maybe we should just call it a night and scampered back to our tents to spend the rest of the evening trying to sleep enough though it was still raining a bit and we were freezing!

We woke the next morning to none other than the boy scouts......lots of them! Apparently it was the weekend for their camping outing and unfortunately for us they decided to set up camp not too far from where we were camping. After having our yummy percolated coffee and a nutra grain bar we decided it was time to do some hiking.

We hiked up and across pickle creek and down around whistling pines trail. It was a perfect day and a beautiful hike! We had such a great time! Growing up in Montana I spent a lot of time in the outdoors, my californian husband didn't so much though so this was actually his first hike. I decided to mess with him a bit and warned him of all the bears that could be there (even though I don't think there's really any bears in Missouri, that's okay). I tried to scare him but for some reason he didn't buy my whole bear routine.
My best bear impression

After we got back from our hike we had some lunch and decided we'd check out some of the local wineries that were in the area. We cleaned up (as much as you could for camping) and headed off.
I'm a planner....I like to know what I'm doing, where I'm going and for the most part am very organized. Because of that I not only rely on our GPS but many times print off directions from google maps as well...you know, just for a back up.
We decided to start out with the Chaumette Winery. We closely followed our little google map as well as our GPS for about 5 miles down a dirt road. I thought it was kind of odd that a winery would be located down a dirt, but then again I've never been to any of the wineries in St. Genevieve, so I thought maybe they just did things a little differently out there. We came upon a dead end sign and some guys on 4 wheelers who looked a little ticked that we obviously were trespassing on their property. Once we told them we were looking for the winery and got directions from our GPS they simply rolled their eyes and and told us which road to follow.
We headed back and Kelly (that's what we named our GPS, long story, but Steve likes that name and wanted to name our first daughter Kelly, so I figured my best compromise was to let him name the lady that shouts out directions to us in the car Kelly) started recalculating some new directions. We still weren't too far off from the google map either. We drove about 15 minutes and found ourselves on another dirt road. It was beautiful, but it sure did seem like we were in the middle of nowhere! We actually crossed a road that had a creek running over it if that tells you how far out we were.

We were frustrated and finally decided we'd try to just get back to our camp when we stumbled upon a man in a truck. He had that same "your trespassing on my property" look and got our to talk to us. He laughed pretty hard when we told him where we were trying to go. He told us to follow him and got back in his truck. After making lots of turns on dirt roads we ended up at a gate (obviously the entrance to his private property). It was there that we saw the signs for Crown Farms. Apparently the directions we had were right, only the roads had been shut down for over 5 years. He was very nice and told us the best winery that we should be checking out...of course it was none other than the Crown Valley Winery. We were planning on going there second anyway, but figured since we were trespassing on the winery's personal property we might as well just forgo the other places. He gave us directions and off we headed.
Five minutes later we were lost.....again! Apparently our friend figured out we'd be lost and came to find us and told us to follow him once again. Like before, he took us through lots of winding back roads, but it was gorgeous! We actually got our personal tour through the entire winery grounds. As it turns out this nice man owns the crown valley winery and his lived in the area for over 20 years! After driving through rows of grapes we got to our destination! We never got the name of the very nice (and probably very rich) man that helped us out, but we are very grateful for his kindness and have to look back on the situation and laugh now.
We had such a great time at Crown Valley and were glad to give them our business after how nice this man was to us.

I'm not usually one for sweet wines, but the Sweet Redbird they make is probably my new favorite wine! If you go there check it out!

After listening to some good music and enjoying the beautiful country side, we decided it was time to head back and hang out with the boy scouts.
It was a miracle, but we actually easily found our way back to our campsite and it didn't even take driving on any dirt roads!
We made our little campfire and had a nice evening relaxing!

Drinkin & Driving

Last night we went with Dale & Missy to the Missouri Botanical Gardens to listen to some live music and have a little picnic.
It was pretty packed out.
Anyway....what was interesting is when we were walking in we saw a young shirtless guy roll up on his bike. Instead of grabbing some water from the water bottle holder that was attached to his bike he reached down and pulled out a Colt 45 instead!

Talk about drinking and driving.....better yet drinking BAD and driving! :)

Woman takes potty break, falls in lake

I had to laugh when I read this story because it reminds me of something that would happen to me......or Nadia.

Check it out on Yahoo.

Why is it that bad luck just seems to follow some people? Better yet.....why pee standing right next to a freezing lake? At least hit the bushes! :)
