C4AC #2 – An Odd Year
It’s almost May so that means Comment for a Cause is drawing to a close in 8 days. Thanks to Lance for the last comment, which now brings c4ac’s total amount to $126 of my own money being donated to the MS Society. I would like to see if Comment for a Cause could reach 150 comments/dollars in its second year. The more you comment the more money I have to donate. 
Not sure about you, but on the way home from practice tonight. I just started thinking that in 1999, I got into a nasty car accident couldn’t paddle for a month, in 2005, the day before I was to head out to our regional time trials for nationals I get in a car accident (both cases they drive into me), in 2007 I had a kid, this year I had surgery. I’m starting to think whats going on…. and why is it happening only on the odd years? Sure now I’m curious to see if something does happen in 2011,2013 etc but I don’t want to think about it either. Okay, I blame myself for getting pregnant and eating crappy/mixed with family genes.
Tonight was a joke! everyone was heading into town for the Canucks game, thankfully I was going the other way. There was road work everywhere and I hit every red light from leaving my house to when I got down to practice (I was PISSED). At practice, people were shocked and surprised to see me come out. The coach and I went into the coach boat and noticed it was missing its boat plug so she found a pine cone that was in the boat and then noticed as we got out half way the motor was CRAP, it went from slow to slower.
So no videoing the two boats tonight 
. I got asked if I wanted to come out to Saturdays race, I said sure (thinking I was going to just watch) but nope they want me paddle on the 2nd boat. I was hoping a practice to get myself back into the swing of things not a 4 races in one day. 
I might be on this 2nd boat if the boat I want to be on is already full .. well roster wise but not everyone shows at a practice 
Which means instead of being in the top 10, I might be on a team ranked in the top 60′s out of 180 teams :angry:
I don’t want to have a chip on the shoulder but team politics just boggles my mind.

Hi, the name is Kimm, I'm a 30 year old Canadian who has been online since 1999. For the last 16 years my main passion has been dragon boating where I've eaten, slept and breathed it and raced all over North America. 
I had a Gramma and an Uncle die with MS. Now my Mom may be affected by MS. I have watched the degeneration of bodies, and it isn’t nice. But, my Gramma had a fighting spirit, and I always admired her courage, even when she got grumpy. So, I’m leaving a comment in support of MS research and cure.
Wow, 126?! You’ll reach 150, for sure.
I don’t pay attention to if everything bad happens to me on even or odd years, knowing me, it’d just be in the back of my mind all the time. Like “Oh, I’m due to have to get into a major accident soon” or something. I’m paranoid enough as it is! :P
Michelle’s last blog post..Just had to tell everyone:
Usually when bad things happen to me I think, “I probably deserved that.” or “Karma? what the hell did I do?” Every red light though? Damn :/ I hate that.
Are you sure you’re ready to go and all? Remember what I said earlier.. the last thing I want to read on your blog is that you pulled a Chris by doing something to yourself before being ready. I might have to come out there and knock some sense into ya! And you know how I’m good to my word and all.
That’s just how I roll.
