Help Wanted--PLEASE!

This coming weekend, we are having our annual Open Invitational Karate Tournament at our dojo. Parents and students have been helping us all week to prepare the dojo and do some repainting and repairs. For the past couple of nights, Kevin and I haven't been getting home until past midnight. Then, we barely have enough energy to make it into the showers, and collpase into bed exhausted. I think that I need to start making a monthly cleaning day for all students and parents to volunteer their time. This is a tremendous amount of work to tackle.

No Boogie For You!

Kevin and Kai accompanied me to Chester, SC this weekend to attend another boogie. This time there was a CASA holding about 35 jumpers, who get to run out of the opening tail of the plane. Also, hot air balloons and helicopters were present to jump from. Once again however, poor weather dampened my jumping plans, but not the spirits of other fellow jumpers lingering around and socializing. After 5 hours of praying for clouds to pass, we decided to head on to Charlotte, about 30 minutes away.

For Halloween, Carowinds closes its doors for an hour and reopens 7 pm-midnight for a Halloween themed "Scarowinds." Normally smiling bubblegum cartoon characters suddenly become bloody axe murderers, hiding in thick fog, waiting to lash at their next victim. Although there were not many rides to go on, I still enjoyed the park better, with its cooler weather and shorter lines. Also, the haunts were a nice touch. We called it a night afterwards and headed home this morning.

I considered stopping at Chester in hopes of perhaps clearer weather today for a jump, but alas...I had hoped for too much. That is, until we got all the way back home. Hmph, go figure...

Oh, By the Way...

Here's the link to my old journal, in case you're interested. I can't bear to think of forever losing this first journal, as it contains my very first year of marriage in it. Also, the beginnings of finding my wings!

I think I'll be using my new blog site from now on, even though I still can't figure out how to put working pictures on here. I mean, I hardly even put pics up anyway... As my adventure continues...

Just Call Me Angel

I am loving this cable modem! I'm having a ball downloading music, and found my favorite song from kindergarten!

Angel of the Morning

There'll be no strings to bind your hands
Not if my love can find your heart
And there's no need to take a stand
For it was I who chose to start
I see no need to take me home
I'm old enough to face the dawn

Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Then slowly turn away from me

Maybe the sun's light will be dim
It won't matter anyhow
If morning's echo says we've sinned
Well, it was what I wanted now
And if we're victims of the night
I won't be blinded by the light

Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Then slowly turn away from me

I won't beg you to stay with me
Through the tears of the day
Of the years, baby

Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Then slowly turn away from me
Oh baby, I love you baby, oh baby

It's All About Me...Deal With It

Well, looky looky what we've got here! I can't believe I've somehow managed to put a picture on here! Still trying to figure out how to get my pic on the front page....Just bear with me...

Hi, I'm An Idiot

It's cold and empty here. What the hell is going on?? How in the world do you post pictures on this thing?
