For Elise....

     Today's edition of Pineapple Explosion is brought to you by Elise ________ (_'s for security/identity reasons). She specifiaclly requested my post "with a bit of additional comedy" so that's what will be done! Let the post commence.

    We put up our Christmas tree today! Ally has already taken up her post beneath the tree ready to defend helpless presents from ruthless present ninjas. I knew we kept her around for a reason. Anyways, its so nice to have our living room once more illuminated by unnatural, multi-colored lights. This is why we love the Christmas season!

    Yesterday morning I got to help out with this awesome orginization Theraputic Horsemanship and their charity 5k/fun run thingy they did. There was a great turn-out. However, I had to get up at 6:40 on a Saturday to help and had to stand outside for an hour in the 30 degree whether. Fun, right. My mother and I were pu lling tabs off of sweaty runners to keep track of who came in what place when. You get the picture. I'll let you know that I finished 96th out of 110. How did I do that? A rogue tab decided to catch the wind when I was trying to shove it onto this thing we were collecting them on with my cold, numb fingers. To catch the stupid thing I had to cross the finish line. Needless to say the man pressing the button as the runners finished pressed it as I ran across. Not bad for not running what so ever that day.

    My mother and sister are presently talking in the dark so I'm going to go join them! Look for a picture of my Christmas tree coming up. And if you have the ambition, send me a picture of your awesome Christmas tree for me to post on here! I'll even decide on a winner if anyone sends one in. A prize will be later determined. Adios!
