IRONING + ASHLEY =BAD Back in NY! K Just got back from a big two weeks o' work. I had the BEST time at Wrestlemania! My first! It was awesome, one of my favorite parts was def the Hall of Fame Ceremony and the actual Wrestlemania show, even though there were a bunch of cool things in between that too. Kinda frustrating trying to get around and do everything on the crutches and on the wheels but still an amaaaazing time!! You are NEVER going to guess what I did...ok so, remember I told you guys about how I got this rad 50's dress for the Hall of Fame. Weeeeeellll, I had about 2 and a half hours to get ready after my signing so I decided to take my time chill out, throw on the old IPOD and leisurely get ready for the Ceremony, ya know, enjoy the time I had to kill. Well, my dress, that I carried on the plane as to not wrinkle or god forbid lose or something, was a wee bit wrinkled and I had it hanging in the shower but the material was too thick. So genius over here decides, hey...why don't I iron it...even though I haven't picked up an iron in like 5 years, if that. I don't mind my stuff wrinkly, either it looks ok with what I'm wearing or its tight enough you wouldn't notice it was wrinkled. Anyway, so I'm ironing and everythings going ok and I get to the other side of the dress press the iron on it and the dress comes up with the iron, completely melted on to it. :o( HUGE hole. Like unwearable huge hole... So I just stood there, my IPOD blasting, iron in hand, just sort of staring at it in disbelief. That lasted about 5 minutes probably and then panic set in. So, I started racing to the mall Matthew in tow, actually, pushing because we were using a wheelchair to save time. Ran through about 57 dresses before realizing that absolutely none fit and it jsut wasn't going to be my day. There was one point we were in the dressing room, and this woman is screaming he can't be in there and I'm like sweating getting all hot and worried that nothing was fitting and he's behind me trying to zip the dress over my boobs, which, just would not close, I wouldve looked like a sausage busting out of the top, anyway, hes trying so hard like Ash it's not going to fit, I can't zip it, and I'm like please just get it closed I'll wear it out of here! It was pretty comical looking back. At the time...nah. Haha. Thank god he was helping me, he was being real patient and levelheaded, totally couldn't have done it on my own, I prob ran him ragged that day. Anyway, that ended with me throwing the dress up in the air and watching it float down to the floor while I got in my wheelchair and we moved toward the exit. Oh thanks to the fans that helped me through the mall in the chair while Matty was parking the car. You guys rock. So, we went back to the hotel coming to the only conclusion. I would wear the dress with the huge gnarly hole, and keep something over my lap and stay in the wheelchair. That solution sucked though, then it hit me...I remembered one of the girls mentioning that she had an extra dress and she was going to return it. And I was lucky enough to borrow one from her, so, that is why, my friends, I did not have my 50's dress on at the ceremony like I said I would, now ya know the inside scoop. Ha. What a dork. Shoulda never tried to iron, I can cook, I'm a little domesticated. I'm definitely not the most neat person, but iron, forget it...I will never touch one again. I tried on the dress that she was so awesome for letting me use, and went to the Ceremony and all ended well. We had like 30 seconds to get ready after that ridiculous trip to the mall but oh well, it was an adventure. Alls well that ends well. Why do I always use corny sayings...like totally outdated. HA. Okay, thanks for listening to my rant, the rants of a mad woman. I'm getting a bunch more tapes to watch while I'm rehabbing this month from the office. When I come back you better believe I am coming back stronger than ever guys. My training will be more intense, my determination stronger and my motivation larger...due to the fact that that psycho has gotten her hands on the belt. And I wanna take it from her like you wouldn't believe. I only hope I get the chance but you better believe I'm going to be ready when I do. And I'm out kids, hitting the hay. Thanks for the sweet messages and welcome to all the new friends! Nice to have you guys here!! I'll post again tomorrow.

My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. " hehehe
