We had a lovely night at the Heart Association awards party last night and got to meet the new child chair for the 2009 campaign.    Antonia is a lovely 14 year old girl who underwent a heart transplant when she was 4 days old.   Amazing story but after many set backs including a major stroke she is your everyday average 14 YO, arguing with her mom, worrying about her hair and crazy over the latest teen fads.   It was really kind of cute watching Ash giving her tips about being on TV and leading the heart walk.    Such a pro at the ripe old age of 6.   lol  <br /><br />The heart association presented Ash &amp; TJ with a trophy plaque thanking them for their help (where they spelled Ash&#39;s name wrong which was immediately pointed out to them by Ash.  &quot;This isn&#39;t for me, I don&#39;t spell my name like that.&quot;) and gave Deb &amp; Mike a huge  framed official HA portrait of the kids. -  It was absolutely beautiful and actually for the first time rendered Deb speechless.  <br /><br />Now it&#39;s time to switch into high gear for both the holidays and our cruise.  <br /><br />Jackie - how did the tax exam go yesterday?  How is your DD Candace feeling?  This will be a very exciting time for you and Tony.   Are they living near you at least?  <br /><br />Deb - venting is allowed and even encouraged here at CruiseCrazies.   If you have something bothering you it sometimes helps to get it off your chest.    I&#39;m sure you are very concerned about DH&#39;s job future with the way things are now.<br /><br />Ed, when you Joey and Steve become fat cats, can I have a job on your board of directors?   Don&#39;t forget your Crazie friends.  lol<br /><br />Cheryl - tomorrow you should have your adapter and can get back to normal.   Any new info on Greg&#39;s job?<br /><br />Time to get moving.   We will need to go down to NJ later today for a wake and then tomorrow for a funeral so I have to get things organized.    I had hoped to be able to stay over in NJ tonight but Deb wants to go to the funeral with us tomorrow and doesn&#39;t want to drive down by herself.    I&#39;ll be glad when tomorrow is over.      <br /><br />Make today special - I&#39;ll be back later on.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br />
