Purple Stride 2012

I'm finally getting around to posting stuff from a few months ago! Feels good.

The littlest member of our team slept through the entire thing -- and looked adorable doing it.

Purple Stride is a fundraising event for pancreatic cancer research and awareness. My sister has chronic pancreatitis, so it's a cause that's close to our hearts. She goes all out for this thing! She absolutely ROCKED the purple wig, and she even provided me with a sweet hand tattoo. That's what I'm talkin' about.

I drove up to Seattle on one hour of sleep and two STRONG cups of coffee. I had played my first soccer match the night before, and I couldn't sleep because I was just too excited about playing a team sport. Lolz.

A nice view of the trail:

 What a great time! I was sad to take off my purple boa.

We took this picture before the walk started. We're smart like that.

Can't wait for next year!

Ummm, Okay

The other day, I got caught in a downpour. I had my trusty umbrella to protect me, so no big deal. I brought it inside to dry out a little and then went upstairs to take a shower. When I came back down, this is what I saw:

Ha! The kitty makes me laugh.

I'm not really sure what drew Linux to the umbrella. Maybe he thought it would protect him from something, or maybe he just loves things that are pink and cute. Either way, he is adorable.
