Get Your Crazi-Plunge Results Here

Yesterday was the Big Day. The day I got to follow through on my crazi-plunge!

Yes, I went into the Atlantic Ocean in FEBRUARY!  And it was a blast!


There's about 10 minutes before they allow us to go in.  Time to strip!

On the beach it was 35 degrees with a little breeze blowing.  After I stripped, I hid behind AZ for protection.


Me and Neicy Before the Plunge

The Sand was COLD and icy on the bare toes.  And then they blew the whistle!



Woo ho!  Get me OUTTA HERE!


The water was 38 degrees.  Warmer than the air but still numbing.  If you enlarge the picture above, you will see the safety divers.  I went out and said "hi" to him.  Then a wave came and washed over "The Girls".  brrrrrrr



Legs?  Who needs them!  Wait... are they still there?

AZ was waiting at the waters edge with my towel!  HEAVEN! 


All done! 

Once again, it was a LOAD of fun!  Around 9 pm last night I told AZ I was finally warm again.


There were over 3,500 nuts wonderful people on the beach with me and Neicy yesterday and together we raised over $650,000 for Special Olympics DE.  Imagine the wonderful things they can do for all the special kids in DE!  It warms my heart to imagine it!

Tuesday Thoughts

Who ordered the snow?  And the Uber Cold Weather?  YUCK to both!  There was probably an inch of snow last night but since it was also SO cold, it stuck.  I had to scrape my car off this morning. I can probably count on one hand how many times I've had to scrape my car this winter. Its predicted to stay in the 20's for the rest of the week!  YIKES!


But it looks like it will warm up in time for me to go swimming on SuperBowl Sunday!  Yes, Neicy and I are doing the Polar Bear Plunge again this year!  We've always had wonderful weather and such a great time!  Our crazi-plunge benefits the Special Olympics of DE and I am taking donations!  I have a website where you can securely donate.  Help make my Craziness Profitable for this wonderful Non-Profit!


Neicy, Jakes and me in 2010.


Jakes turns 14 this coming weekend! He's put in his request for dinner and he wants Mom's Homemade Meatloaf.  YUM!  I guess we will be having a full house again this weekend.  We are going to make cupcakes to take to the horse farm this weekend.  Its going to be a busy weekend!



AZ has been fighting with his BP again.  There is no reason for the meds to not work!  They are the same meds he's been taking for years.  Every once in a while, he gets this break through high BP that is scary!  We've spent some time in the ER this weekend.  He's going to his Dr tomorrow.  Hopefully, they can figure something out to keep this from happening.


With all the waiting time I've had this weekend, I've gotten a BUNCH of reading done!  Since I had four library books come available at the same time, I've had to keep my nose in the iPad.  lol  I am done two of the books and am working my way through the third.



Tonight we go back to SINGING!  I'm so excited!  We are going to be singing Spring-type songs!  I've missed seeing these people each week.




Jakes has joined Google+ and friended me.  I don't use Google+ very much but he refuses to sign up for Facebook.  But I don't know that I would friend him on facebook either.  There might be things on there I post that he doesn't need to see.  So far, I don't have to worry about it.  Maybe someday, he'll want to join the masses.
