But anyways, I am working on it and was hoping I could get some feedback on the design. Hardly anything is functioning yet so don't get too excited, but you can poke around and see for yourself.
Thanks guys. -- Click the pic to get there :)

Ontonagon County Animal Protection
Way back when Adam got Zoey, I told OCAP that I would be interested in creating a web site for them, if they were interested as well. They were! And since I'm slower than molasses, I'm just now getting around to it.

passing out is WAY cool!
So yesterday after my modeling debut -- i had to wear pink (UCK!) I saw this sign advertising a blood drive. Normally I donate whenever I can, but today I didn't really want to UNTIL I saw that they had SUBS listed under refreshments! Well yeah, free food will get me to do just about anything. So I went.
I filled out my paperwork and they got me in the chair and the nurse stuck me with the needle, but the vein just wouldn't have it... so after she dug around in my arm for awhile, she asked me if i wanted to try the other arm instead. Since I was bound and determined to get a sub, I said sure. My stomach was a little queasy from her playing hide and go seek with my vein, so I grabbed a scrumptious looking brownie and it was yummy.
Since my faith in this nurse had been tested, I snuck over to another chair w/a new nurse. She got me with the needle, found the vein and I was happily half way through my pint of blood. Then my friend Shawna came over. She told me she was very afraid of needles so I was talking her through the whole thing, and watching her get poked. As all of this was going on and I neared the end of my pint, I started to not feel so good. It was kind of warm in the room we were in and watching Shawna probably wasn't the best idea. So after my pint was over, I told the nurse I wasn't feeling awesome and she made me comfortable while keeping me in the chair. I felt hot, dizzy, and not too good, AND i had to go to the bathroom.
The nurse sent me to the bathroom with a volunteer who was very nice and told me to tell her if I felt any different. As soon as she finished the sentence, I told her I felt different and went down right in the doorway of the bathroom. As the volunteer held the door open so I wouldn't get stuck and people were freaking out, i came to. I stood up and made it into the stall and as I was taking care of business my body told me it wanted to throw up. There I met that yummy brownie all over again. Such excitement for the bathroom.
After all that Ingrid (the volunteer) and I made it back to the room where the blood drive was and I was feeling much better. They advised me not to drive home, so I called Adam and he came and picked me up.
Fortunately, they sent me home with three sandwiches. In hindsight, that was the worst cost-benefit analysis I've ever done.
Mallery will be so proud...

I'm quitting school to become a model...
Today I got a call from Amber, one of the girls from downwind, asking me if I wanted to help out w/the Univeristy Catalog. I don't have anything goin on tomorrow, so I decided to do it! YAY! It sounds like we'll be parading around in university clothing for pictures on campus.. here's to my new profession!!

I'm a Copperman!!
and so is Mari!
As we took our places to start the race, Mari and I noticed this little twig of a girl standing in front of us in a floral bikini, with the number 13 (her age) on the back of her leg. Figuring that she felt out of place and had more goosebumps on her body than I count, I said hi and gave her a friendly warning to watch out for other people kicking and splashing in the beginning. She politely informed me that she knew, since she had done this before and went on to WHOMP on my butt all the way through the stupid race. Geez, how was I supposed to know.. I should have been asking for pointers.
Luckily I survived the swim through mutant algae and scary seaweed (it was so gross) and met Mari who finished a little ahead of me as we mounted our bikes. I was excited to know that the GUY who was set up in the transition area between Mari and I had not yet gotten onto his bike.. But it was short lived, as he past me a mile into the biking portion. The bike went well, didn't see any bears and not a ton of hills.
It was cool because I got to see everyone on the way out (even if they were coming back) it was nice to have something to do. lol. As I luckily passed a 10 yr old before the bike finish, I met up with Mari again for the run and managed to stay ahead of her for about 40 ft. and then WHEW -- she was gone...
But it was ok because I ended up running with this super cool girl named Abigail. We talked, walked and ran the whole 5 miles. Without Abigail my finishing probably would have been questionable, at least in under 3 hrs.
Believe it or not, I think Mari and I will definitely be participating in more triathlons. Maybe even more than one per year!! Imagine that. There was quite a turn out with Greg, Adam and all three of the dogs. Moral support is definitely a plus :) (thx guys)
Mari finished with the unofficial time of 2h 29 mins, and I was 10 mins behind her with 2h 39 mins.
As always you can find more pics at my gallery.
