YES that is me LUGING ... can you believe it? I was not really too nervous before I left home, but as I am driving I hear that the radio station I am listening to is at the track. One of the guys starts joking about how freaky it is and about how he hit his head. Then I was nervous. I called my girlfriend Janelle who arranged it and freaked out a little ... "turn off the radio Heather!" when she saw me she just started to laugh. We pretty much laughed our way through the experience. No joke though I found that announcer guy and gave him trouble for freaking me out. He felt bad I think and became our photographer (we got movie passes too!). I screamed ... like a scared girl ... and it was wonderful to be so scared ... and there was one moment where I realized I could look down while I was going around a turn (because I was on the side ... that is not normal you know!) ... I screamed louder!! Really though it was brilliant ... it felt amazing and I wanted to do it again as soon as I was finished. I got up to 56km and my time was 34 sec.!!!! That is FAST kids!! The joys that I have experienced this year continue to blow me away!
I have also been so spoiled the last couple of days. My friend Treesa made me a survival kit filled with wonderful heart warming things ... my favorite is the good-luck pig with three legs (from Cuba T?) ... really it could have been a cow with 6 eyes and it would not have been any less special to me because of the thought that she put into it ... into my heart! Then as I was running out of the house this morning I tripped over a beautiful gift bag ... my heart physically jumped. It was filled with wonderful candles and smellies, and chocolate of course ... but mostly it was filled with love. Kirst and Melissa you made my valentines! I was telling Kirst that I felt like a little kid who only cares about the box their gift came in because I think I was most enthralled with the pearl beaded handles ... I actually thought about if I could get them off to wear as bracelets!
My little Tayah bear is 2! Where the years have gone I can't grasp. Happy Birthday pumpkin!
So much more to share, but so many dreams to dream!
G'night.

You never cease to amaze me. You're constantly trying new things and setting off on new adventures and I'm so proud of you. I was watching the women's skeleton competition on TV earlier tonight and was thinking "there's no way I could ever do that, they go like 120 km/hr head first!!!!!!" and then I check your blog and what have you been up to this week but hurdling head first on a sled down a track of concrete and ice. You're sure this depression hasn't progressed to a death wish?
I love you tons and would like to see you again in one piece, OK?
