Negativity Storm not to be taken seriously

And this is why I won’t be taking Chantix again… The combination of nicotine withdrawal, chantix prescription medication, and the increased attention I’m spending to my own state of consciousness is all creating very strange thought-storms.

Such a Girly Throw

Such a Girly Throw

My cousin Kim sent me the very short video of my football “girly throw” during the contest in Colorado. I would have gotten more distance if I’d just given up and thrown it underhand. Next year, watch out! Jillian, I’m coming after you!
