These are just a few photos taken at the Miller’s Pumpkin Extravaganza in Waupaca Wisconsin. More photos here. It’s a must see, especially the Election-themed pumpkins!
I’ll post a Halloween Update as soon as Dawson comes down from his Trick-or-Treat sugar high. He’s bouncing off the walls and he only had 3 pieces of candy!
I’m sick. Again. Honestly, this is ridiculous. I must have the worst immune system because every single time Dawson comes down with a bug, within days I’ve caught the same damn thing.
Just three weeks ago I had the world’s nastiest cold, another virus transferred from Dawson to me. That one lasted over ten days.
A week-and-a-half ago, Doug came down with a cold that Dawson brought home from daycare (or preschool) and I did everything in my power to stay away from the germ infested people I love. I refused to hug or kiss them and made Daddy take care of the Doodlebug because I declared I was NOT going to get sick.
Two days ago I woke up with a stuffy nose, sore throat and monster headache. I started to cry. Then I remembered that a very nice PR person sent me some samples of Emergen-C Super Energy Boosters. To be fair, before I received the samples, I was already a loyal Emergen-C customer. My co-worker introduced them to me a few months ago when I had one of my many illnesses.
I received a box of Emergen-C in Super Orange flavor and several samples of the Emergen-C Kidz supplements in a variety of flavors.
Emergen-C is packed with a whopping 1,000 milligrams of non-acidic Vitamin-C, as well as 32 minerals and electrolytes. Add vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6 and B`2 for energy and the result is a tasty little powder mixed with water for a non-caffeinated energy boost.
Now, I know it isn’t a miracle cure, but I really believe that all that Vitamin-C may just be what my immune system needs to recover from these nasty colds a little faster.
I’ve been drinking as many as 3 supplements for the past few days and while this cold is miserable, I noticed I’m not as cranky as I usually am when sick. Perhaps the Emergen-C is the boost I need to get through the day.
Dawson loved the Emergen-C Kidz. This complete Multi-Vitamin and Multi-Mineral supplement has 24 essential nutrients, 500 mg of Vitamin C and choline to support healthy brain function. Dawson just thinks it tastes like Kool-Aid.
I gave a sample to my co-worker for her kids to try and she told me they liked it so much she went to the store and bought a box to keep on hand.
Emergen-C comes in boxes of 36 packets in flavors such as Raspberry, Super Orange, Tangerine, Pink Lemonade and Strawberry and retails for around $8.99 to $10.00. You can find these energy boosters at Target, Wal-Mart, Trader Joe’s, Kroger’s, Fred Meyer and Walgreens and various super market chains and specialty stores. For a complete listing of retailers, visit the Emergen-C website.
So I just happened to be looking for another video and came across this one. NKOTB played Madison Square Garden in NYC tonight.
Looks like Jordan suffered a sprained ankle. Any bets as to how long before this video is removed from the NKOTB website? I sure hope Jordan is okay.
** Dude, this had to be a joke or a hoax or something, because friends in NYC went to the concert and said Jordan was dancing just fine. How strange. Although I’m glad to know the joker is okay.
Anyway, this is the video I was trying to find:
I’m feeling overwhelmed. I have so much to do and so little time to get everything done. I’m sure you’ve noticed. My blogging has been sporadic for so long. I’ve lost my blogging groove.
To be completely honest, I haven’t felt the desire to blog — not the way I once did. I mean, there are days that I have things to say and there are many days when I have no idea what to blog about.
I was reading Wired magazine the other day, and there was a little blurb about blogging and how it might be time to pull the plug because it’s just not what it used to be. It also mentioned Jason Calacanis and his decision to end his famous blog this past summer. (Truthfully, I think he quit blogging because the Queen of Spain intimidates him with her awesomeness.)
Anyway, for a split second I thought about quitting the blog. Then I realized how much I would miss it. I just need some motivation.
So, I signed up for NaNoBloMo again this year to get my rear end back into the blogging big time. But not only will I be posting daily, I will be commenting daily as well. My goal is to comment on ten new blogs (in addition to the ones I regularly comment on) every day. It’s time to spread the love and get back on top of the game.
And, I have a request from each of you. To inspire some writing on my end, I am opening up the comments as your forum to ask me anything. Is there something you want to know about me? Do you have questions about anything I’ve written before? Hit me with it.
I’ll do my best to post answers to your questions. Thank you in advance for your participation!
