Just A General Update

Well I haven't blogged in a bit so I will make this a quick update.
I was almost hit by a pick up truck a week ago Friday by a guy in such a rush, he couldn't wait to back out of his spot 
I went grocery shopping and had just loaded my groceries into the car, started to put my cart back, and well this idiot starts to back up as I'm crossing. I realize he isn't even looking and continues to back out almost hitting me 
, I had to jump out of the way and leave the cart which he bumps as I start yelling. My cell phone is in a holster and attached by the clip to my purse so of course I caught it so it hit the ground and ended up almost under his tire and popping out of the holster. As he realized I wasn't behind him now he proceeded and I yelled at him to stop and wait! My phone, so I pick it up and he starts rolling and I smack the back of his truck and yell wait and then proceed to pick up my holster for the phone, I swear some people! Some other guy who just parked comes running over towards me asking if I'm ok and I say yeah except this bastard is trying to run me over. So the guy driving finally gets to back out, rolls down his window and starts saying he's sorry but he didn't see me. My response was I'm almost 5'7 wearing almost 3 inch heels and dressed in bright hot pink, if you didn't see me you have a problem buddy and shouldn't be driving!
On a happier note:
This past Friday was my Lion's Club day to sponser Camp Open Arms. This is a 2 week day camp put on by Cancer action for children with cancer and their siblings. They rely totally on donations and their is no cost to the families who come to this camp. Our club funds and puts on a whole day of activities for them. We had reserved one park for the event but had received almost 4 inches of rain Wednesday causing the park's lodge we reserved to be under about 2 ft of water 
. So everything had to be redirected to another park which was about a 25 min drive for me. The worst part was calling everyone and making sure they knew we've changed locations. Friday was a wonderful but long day, very hot but very dry so it was comfortable. I had to pick up pizzas for lunch (which meant driving back to my house practically as the place is just down the road from where I live) then going across town to the other side of the city to pick up more ice, (thanks Doug ) Everything worked out well and we served up 5 lbs of tossed salad, 250 hot dogs and 6 huge sheet pizzas. In addition we served juice, bottled water, ice pops and tons of bags of potato chips, these were hungry kids and we served a total of about 150 individuals. Would you believe it if I told you I was exhausted by the time we were done cleaning up, lol.
