It's August 21...where the heck have I been.
Let's see...since June we had a flood in Des Moines, not really as bad as the floods of 1993, but still pretty bad. I'm still looking for a job, I've been freelancing for most of the summer so it's been nice getting some extra cash. I've even been saving money too...wow.
July... my cousin Larry got married, it was a great wedding. I haven't been to a wedding in a long time.
Now it's August and summer is almost over. I went to the Iowa State Fair four times - yes, four times. The first time I went was with a friend, Matt, and we participated in the Corn Dog Chomp which was trying to get 8000 people eating a corndogs at the same time for the Guinness Book of World Records. I don't know if it was a legit contest but I can say that I was there. I also went another day and participated in the "horseshoe pitching" contest. I didn't do so well but I got a yellow ribbon for participating - woo hoo!
The summer olympics are going on and the local girl, Shawn Johnson, won 3 silver medals and 1 gold. She doesn't live very far from me...my kind of claim to fame. Go Team USA.
Until next time...
