Also, for all your Conservatives out there, a new site has launched. Its GippersList.com. Its like Craigslist for the GOP! Though, I'm sure others can use it too! Head on over and check it out!
Okay, I told you all I had a little adventure last Sunday, July 5th. Here are the pictures:
The gray haired guy is Bernie! He is so cool!
I did not actually jump! I was observing from the plane! I went with my neighbor who is in the film industry. He is filming an opening for a talk show that will involve people jumping from a plane. We headed up north a bit (about an hour and a half) and he practiced filming Bernie and some others. I had the opportunity to go up in this teeny tiny plane and watch Bernie jump! He also taught me to "pack" the parachute! It was a great learning experience. Bernie also gave me a tee shirt from his Jumping School that says "Adrenaline Junkie" on the front and has a cool picture on the back with the phrase "Weekend with Bernie". Bernie is planning a stunt with this motorcycle:
He is going to hang it off the bottom of a hot air balloon and parachute to the ground while on the motorcycle! Bernie is 65 and he is one of the coolest and kindest men I've ever met!
Here is the plane that we used:
A door under the wing opens up and the that is where the skydivers jump out. I stayed strapped in! I'm not sure I could ever sky dive, but I sure did have a fun day with John, my neighbor and Bernie!

Very cool pictures. And I absolutely love, love, love Sonic's drinks. Especially the ice! So amazing.
Boy, I can barely get into an airplane, much less jump out of one...
Oh, wow! You are a courageous girl for even going up. Looks like a great time though, I'm sure the views were unbelievable!
The Chick-Fil-A chicken biscuits are delicious! Your adventure looks like fun... though I am guessing I would have freaked out :)
Crazy stuff! Sounds like a lot of fun :)
What an adventure! I went up in a 4seater airplane with friends, (of course one being a pilot). After 15-20 minutes in the air, I became so dizzy and sick. They had to turn back and drop me off! A very funny story they never forget to remind me!
How cool. Love the "free-spirited" Bernie. Wish I could be more like that.
You look "hot" on that cycle. What does "B" think.
Thanks for the GippersList shout out. We'll see what happens.
Another one of my new mottos...

Oh, LOVE limeade.
Off to read my new book. :)
What awesome pictures!! You are so darn brave ;-) I would be afraid to even be in that small plane!! xoxo
Wow! That's pretty intense! I love Chick-fil-a Chicken Biscuits too! My favorite!! And next time, you'll have to jump while you are up there! :)
What a fun experience. I don't think I would have been a jumper either !
That looks like so much fun! I would not have been a jumper either!
The lemonade & sweet tea from Chick-Fil-A is really good!!! The chicken minis for breakfast are also awesome! :) * Just in case you didnt know, it is closed on Sundays. I always wind up wanting it on Sundays and then get let down when I remember theyre closed ;)

Found your site while looking up "skydiving" (since I'm getting ready to go!)
Thanks for the Gipperslist link, hadn't heard of them!
I'm a 20 something, frecklefaced redhead too! (and I can't seem to get away from libraries!) Fun to stumble onto your blog!
Great shades and the whole collage is very Charlie's Angels (which is a movie i LOVE.
I LOVE your makeover! And skydiving- you are crazy just to be in the plane! But what an adventure.
Cool pics!! You are so brave. P.S. I tagged you!
I vote for going skydiving...Mr. Lipstick and I did it a few years ago and it was *awesome*!!!
Many, many thanks for your comment on my "man post"!
Naples? Naples?...my Inlaws just bought a 2nd home there. I can't wait to visit.
