This weekend I hung out with Nolan Ryan and also got a disease on my forehead.
Two completely unrelated events.
First the good news.
Southwest sponsors a "Play Ball with Nolan Ryan" contest every year where we send ten Employees and ten Customers on "the trip of a lifetime" to play a game of softball with Nolan Ryan. I was lucky enough to be asked to come along as the photographer for the event and brought my sister as a guest.
You should enter next year--it's really fun!
We had a great time in Cooperstown, NY at the National Baseball hall of Fame.
And on Sunday we witnessed the amazingly large gourds at the Cooperstown Pumpkin Festival and Regatta.
Yep--they weigh them, scoop them, and then row them across the lake.
The bad news--I have some sort of random rash/blister/welt on my forehead. It itches like crazy and I feel like little needles are shooting into my forehead. Here I am Monday morning in BWI on our way home.
I went to see the dermatologist Tuesday morning and she thinks it may be shingles. We have several pregnant women and people with vulnerable immune systems, so I worked from home today--note the lovely hair and lack of makeup.
I can't tell if the medicine is working yet, so please pray for healing!

oh gosh! I hope you get better soon.
Oh, OUCH! I hope you are feeling better. At least you got a day off! :)
My parents say that Cooperstown is a neat experience and that everyone should go. How cool
Awesome trip - you have a job with such fun perks :) Sorry about the "disease". I really hope for your sake it's not shingles.
Oh no Katie! Shingles are HORRIBLE...I really pray that that is not what it is!
Random note: One of the customers that won the trip to meet Nolan Ryan is the brother of a woman that lives here in Sweetwater. She was telling us about how excited he was. I'm never shocked at what a small world it really is.
I hope you feel better soon.
Katie-
Oh my goodness...I'm so sorry that you are having to deal with that. I have heard how painful that is...so I will definitely be praying for healing! So...when is roommate trip 2008?! :)
Wow. No offense but that looks aweful. I am so sorry. Last spring I thought I had shingles but it was some other funky rash. So, I WILL pray for you.
