Good morning! As the sun comes up this morning in Central Minnesota I am prepping to leave for my two-hour drive to Anoka MN where at approximately 1:45 pm today, I along with many many other crazy people are going to jump in the lake for Special Olympics.


So….. yeah.
I am guessing I signed up, I received pledges. I am doing this.
I offered the people who pledged me to have a say in one thing that I wear. I will be wearing a prom dress. Dog tags. And something Harry Potter. I will show you what that ensemble looks like at a later time.
For the rest of you… stay warm. Read something good. I will be finishing the audio book All The Bright Places today during the drive time.
I am linking this post to Saturday Snapshop. Stop and see what everyone else is taking pictures of today 🙂
So all of this gives new meaning to the expressions “go jump in the lake.” LOL. BRRRR!
Meant to say “expression.”
Right? What does that really say about me? LOL
Insanity…that’s what I say. You Northern people are so hardy. I’m a wimp. Truly. Inviting everyone down here when we hit 107 in July or August. 🙂
Hardy or crazy…. as I prepped to jump this time I was all “what was I thinking?”
I am cold just reading this!
It is quick – you are cold for less than 4 minutes….in and out and run for the big tent that is 80 degrees of blowing heat while you change.
I hope it doesn’t take you too long to warm up afterwards!
It didn’t, the distance this time to the warming tent was much closer than the one three years ago!
Thanks for the good laugh this morning. Your pics are amazing!
LOL, I do love the pics from that year!
br! Good luck!
Thanks. I lived.
This is incredible! You’re the bravest person I know this winter. Kudos to your enthusiasm. 😉
LOL. Its just water 😉
stay warm-good luck with this.
Thanks – it was fine 😉
You make me smile! Take care stay safe!
Thanks! I will!
BRRRRR! You’re a good woman to do this for a good cause! BRRRRR!!!!!
I like to do things that keep me active… I guess this counts 😉
I could imagine going to a polar plunge to observe, but I sure can’t imagine myself ever jumping in water that cold for fun.
Its quick… you do not stay in the water long 😉
Oh Shelia!!
We have a polar bear group that swims in the sea during winter…but since Sydney’s winters never drop below 0°C, it’s nothing to the challenge you have set yourself!!!!
Good luck – I look forward to next weeks update 🙂
OOH not a swim -that wouldn’t work here at this time of year! LOL
I’m thinking you finished your plunge by now, you crazy woman! Can’t wait to see your ensemble 😀
Yes, we jumped at 1:45 and I started the 2 hour trek home by 2:30. 😀 I am waiting for pictures, they told us they had lots of people taking pictures but I have yet to see any.
Crrraaaazzzy!! But we all admire that you do it!
Yes I would agree crazy. But its done 😉
Can’t wait to see. Good luck – you are very brave.
Thanks Ginny 😉
BRRRRRR….I would never do this. I have been freezing even in my house. 🙂
Hope you got in and out quickly and warmed up quickly.

Sometimes… you have to just do it. 😀
Wow. I admire your fortitude. Can’t wait to see what you wore this year. I can’t believe you did it again.
