The Wedding, My Birthday and American Gladiators Tryouts

Here is a picture of the birthday cake the bride gave me.

And the Groom's cake

How Cool Are These?! They were Yummy!

American Gladiator tryouts were yesterday, and as you know, I'm on crutches. I'm not to put weight on my leg, but I couldn't let this opportunity pass....so I went to the try outs. I waited in line for hours, met some really great and fun (some crazy) people.

When I finally got inside, the physical tryout consisted of 30 sec of pull ups, 30 secs of squat thrusts, (for reps) the agility ladder and a shuttle run. My timer/evaluator asked if I could even do any of this, I said, "OF COURSE!!"and asked him to hold my crutches.

I did my pull ups. Then to the squat thrusts, which I did on 1 foot. I did the agility ladder (in a handstand) on my hands. (The crowd started cheering me on, it was so much fun.) He said I didn't have to do the shuttle run... then he escorted me to an interview with a producer. The producer said she had read my application and can definitly tell I'm dedicated and driven, and there was no doubt in her head that I would have made it this season!!....but... and it's a big but, I have a torn ACL and will be having surgery in a few days. So, I need to recover and she will personally hold my file because there will be a season 3! That was so exciting and heart breaking at the same time.

I'm very happy I went. At least now, I know what could have been. I wouldn't have known unless I tried. So, look out! Because when I recover I'm going to be a bad mama-jama!

I went off-roading today. It was a beautiful 77 degrees and sunny. Perfect day!
