I am sooooooo excited!!!  Fashion to the Rescue is coming up and once again this year, I get to be one of the models!  This is such a fun event and it is for a very good cause.  What can I say, it's fashion and firefighters! Proceeds benefit the Womens Resource Agency.  They empower girls and women to attain and maintain personal self-sufficiency and economic independence. For nearly 40 years, the Women’s Resource Agency has been supporting women of the Pikes Peak region by providing the tools necessary for them to succeed in the workplace and in their personal development.  it's an organization I truly believe in and have been involved with for a few years now.  For more details and to get your tickets for Fashion to the Rescue  Click Here!!  I sure hope you can join me!

We learned from our brainbuster this morning that a majority of Americans own a piano but only 20% ever use it.  We had an organ growing up.  I loved that thing!  I still have it, but it has a pedal that's stuck so it's just sitting in my basement now.  :(   I need to see about getting it fixed.  Here's a pic of me with the organ.  Yep...I started playing early! 

So, I got a Chia pet for Christmas.  Always wanted one just for fun.  :)   The first time I tried it...no results at all.  So, I started over.  Here's my results from the second round.  After the first week, I got some sprouts (the first picture)  but it came in splotchy!  I figured it would fill out... not the case... here's week 3 (second photo)  still splotchy...just longer sprouts ha ha!   I guess I don't have a green thumb.  Anyone ever try the Chia??  Did you get it to work and get it to look like it does on the commercial??  PS...did you know that Chia seeds are now used for health and Weight loss?  Not sure I'm up for trying that yet.  LOL!

Had a wonderful time at the Heart Ball this weekend at the Broadmoor!  Such a great event.  Thank you so much to everyone who came out and showed their support.  The auction items were great, the dance routines were awesome, the food was wonderful and the band was incredible!  Plus, we all had the chance to dress up :)   Hope to see you at next years Heart Ball!

Overall i thought the commercials this year were pretty good.  Some were stinkers... I didn't like the Coke Polar Bears spots (which surprises me) nor did I like the one where the kid peed in the pool. yuck.   My two top faves were the M&M's and Etrade Baby Speed dating (See below)  

I also liked the Doritos one where to dog buries the cat, the Hyundai Vampire commercial and of course the Volkswagon Dog commercial.  So cute!

We bought my nephew, Ian, a new wagon so that we could take him to the park when the weather is nice.  My dog Bella decided she needed to take the first ride LOL!   Ian woke up from his nap and joined her later.  They love it!  So cute :)  Now if only the weather was nice so we could take it outside ha ha!  Be safe in the snow today!

This adorable two year old miniature poodle needs a forever home! He's a stray, and when they picked him up his fur was really matted and dirty.  That's why he's got the shaved haircut right now :)  Still a little cutie-pa-tootie tho!   I've had poodles growing up and I have to say, they are the best dogs!!!  Snoop dog would be a great addition to your family.  :)   If you'd like to adopt him, contact the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region.  473-1741
