    Relay for Life

    On Friday, we attended the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life.   We did a luminaria for my dad who died from kidney cancer in June.  They lined the track with the lights and to encourage people to observe a moment of silence they had the girls dressed as Hush Angels.  Despite the fact that I spent most of the night choking back tears and dodging teenagers, it was a good experience.  I look forward to forming our own team next year.  So, get ready Team Schlitz!

    Here you go, Jenn...

    So, I have been tagged by Jenn The rules:
    A. Link to the tagger and post these rules on your blog.
    B. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some weird, some random.
    C. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs. Lastly, let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
    So, here goes: 
    1.  I secretly would love to be a lead singer in a rock band.  And through the greatness of Rockband (thanks to the  Miller Fam for inspiration, my husband is eternally grateful) I get a chance.  Although most of time I have to just be the guitar player because my six year old always wants to sing - but every so often I get my chance, baby!

    2.  I love to travel.  I backpacked across Europe for two months after college and I've been to Scotland/England (honeymoon) and Italy with my husband.  Can't wait to take the girls. 

    3.  I have to steal this one from Jenn - but I totally do the same thing - say things I shouldn't when the kids are in the other room.  I NEVER, EVER say it to their adorable little faces but there's just something about it that helps me get through the day!  Another call to CPS, go ahead. 

    4.  No murder trial but I did have to sue my wedding photographer in small claims court to get our pictures. 

    5.  I hate being late but I always am.

    6.  I watch The Daily Show with Jon Stewart every day - love it!

    7.  I'm really 5'2" but I always put 5'3" on my driver's license.  5'3" just sounds better plus if the law is ever after me, they will be looking for someone taller!

    Okay, there!  I have no one else to tag since you tagged all the bloggers I know!
