Ego shmeego!

The arthritis walk was this morning. I was thrilled the past few months to see that I was still the top fundraiser with $615, but of course my bubble burst. I saw that yesterday a little girl named Hailey (11 years old and has rheumatoid arthritis) stole my thunder and won top billing with well over $1000 in donations. You all know I like to win everything, so this was devestating for me. Then this morning I met her. It turns out this whole walk was in her honor. (Head hanging low). I gave myself a good slap in the face and remembered that I was doing this for Jill to begin with and it doesn't matter if I "win" or not, because I still have painfree full use of all my joints. So I'm considering myself - and everyone else who donated - winners because we raised a lot of money for a fabulous person. AND I GOT A T-SHIRT!!!
We had great weather for the walk. Danica had a blast running around and eating brownies - yum, yum! And of course I forgot my camera. Duane did get a couple pictures on his phone so we can show Jill the turnout. Great time had by all!

Dani and I went garage sale shopping yesterday and hit the mother-load! We got a "little tykes" kitchen set for her. It's HUGE and too cute with lots and lots of dishes and such. She's absolutely loving it. She hasn't played with anything else since we set it up. We also got her a shopping cart (to teach her the importance of a good sale at an early age), and a jeep. It's the kind that goes with the push of a peddle, but it needs new batteries. The jeep was $10 and the batteries will cost us about $50... typical!!
