Stuff the Magic Dragon
No seriously.. sing the title. It’s fun.
During the Orlando Magic vs. Detroit Pistons game on February 17, I spotted Stuff sitting near/on some girl and then walk away with her purse. Stuff… were you flirting/trying to get a girlfriend??
After Orlando WON the game, Stuff was then found strutting across the court. That is one busy dragon.
We were lucky enough to be given some tickets for the game (thanks Justin!!) and we found out friends of ours were going as well. We all went together and then split ways to find our seats. Us up top, them about 15 rows from the court.
He is 6′8 (yep, I ask him all the time) and could not get comfortable in his seat at all. There was no leg room what so ever. So they moved them up a bit to where there was WAY more leg room and we got to sit in their kick ass seats. Seriously, awesome.
We’ve only had seats down there once before and THAT is the way to watch a game. You may get yelled at for taking pictures with an SLR, but it is so worth it. Just being able to soak in the game and seeing the players up close fist bump (terrorist fist bump style). So now.. some pictures from our closer seats.
Relay For Life 2010
On May 21, 2010 I will be taking part of Relay For Life in Orlando, FL. This is the first year that I have done this and I want to raise some money to kick cancer’s butt!!
It’s official!! I am walking in honor of Becci Godwin. A former co-worker, but ALWAYS a friend! She has survived breast cancer and has had an amazing attitude through the ENTIRE thing! I couldn’t even tell you how many doctor’s visits and surgeries she’s had, but she always kept a positive outlook about it. She is a fabulous quilter and made me a very special quilt a few years ago. No matter what is going on in her life, she always makes time to do things for others. Becci is a very strong woman and has a very supportive family. Seeing as though there isn’t much that I can do for her.. Becci, this is for you!!
I need your help and in return you’ll get a really cool gift! <I think it’s cool at least>
How about a print from peglegpug.com or peakarts.com
For a donation up to $9, you’ll get a 5×7 print
For donating $10 to $24, 8×10
For donating $25 and up, you’ll get a print that’s 13×19
Anything above $75, will get 13×19 from both peglegpug.com AND peakarts.com
For every $5 that you donate your name will go into a hat and the name that’s drawn will get a very special surprise gift!
So please, donate away. ANYTHING would be wonderful!! We need this! We need to get cancer under control!
If everyone that followed me on twitter donated 50 cents, I’d be well over $500, however I know that is not going to happen, but YOU can help me to closer to my goal.. 50 cents at a time!
If you do not want to donate online, please let me know so we can set something else up. There are pages that I can get to you so that you can fill it out for Relay For Life.

Out For A Walk
January 10, 2010 by Kelly
Filed under Me In Control
Today I did something I haven’t done since, well, a LONG time. I walked 6.62 miles with a friend of mine and her sister.
I am trying my hardest to get in shape. I want to train and work my way up to RUNNING. I want to RUN a 5K. I want to get rid of my asthma. I want my back pain to be obsolete.
Orange is where we started and Blue is the turn around we took
Now, if I just learn to eat healthier after exercising, I’d be doing pretty good! However, after calculating my points, I’m good, just need to chill. Just need a small sensible dinner tonight and get my exercise in tomorrow and hopefully I’ll be good to go for Thursday weigh in.
I am also going to start walking again during my lunch breaks. Walking downtown is quite good, yet I wish the cross walks would work in my favor!
Ben Prestage
I may not have done anything too exciting to ring in the 2010, but I did start the first day of 2010 off right.
A friend of mine had just told me about Ben Prestage and sent me a couple of YouTube clips to which I really took a liking to his sound. Thankfully, I found out that he was going to be doing a set at Will’s Pub in Orlando, FL on January 1st and I made sure that I was going to be there.
The place was packed! I hadn’t been to Will’s Pub in a while and I don’t know what that max capacity for the stage room was, but people were having a hard time walking through to get to the bar. That’s when you know you’re at a good show! I put together some clips that Jeff shot with my new camera (Canon 7D).

Another Tuesday Afternoon

Filed under Me In Control
Decided to take advantage of this cooler Florida weather (cooler = less than 80!!!!) and go for a walk. I went from my office in downtown Orlando down to city hall. It’s almost a mile there and back and it took me longer than normal since there is traffic and cross walks, but it was a nice 20 minute break outside.
I came back to the office to enjoy some Healthy Choice 150 calorie soup – Chicken with Rice. It was actually quite good. Through out the morning I enjoyed some POM tea (Pomegranate Lychee Green Tea). It has an interesting taste, but I enjoyed it. 140 calories for 16 ounces and it’s a nice change from water (which is all I seem to drink anymore).
Well, there is a piece of cake waiting for me. Must go take care of that….sorry, I have to! It was someone’s birthday!!
Where Does The Time Go?
The past month I have had a lot on my plate. It’s full and I am NOT hungry anymore!
Between taking pictures for Kernel Encore (which are not done) and editing them (which are not done as WELL) and spending all weekend at IZEAFest/SeaWorld, I have been one tired girl.
Tonight starts more craziness, Rock For Hunger VIP Party. Tomorrow, Rock For Hunger Fest concert. 5-12 (Hope you’re there!) Jeff and I will be there running around like crazy people getting video and pictures. Sunday equals sitting at home working on Kernel Encore pictures and RFH pics and vid.
THEN, Patrick from ChefPatrick.com wants to shoot a video, so within the next couple of weeks we’ll be doing that!
But wait, there’s more! October 24th I’ll be working on a shoot with my good friend, Pam. Woohoo!
So, all of this, plus: my house needs to be cleaned like whoa, the old fridge STILL needs to be moved to the garage, scanning in a crap ton of old pictures, digitize some old home movies so they don’t go bad.
Oh and did I mention.. I would like to take a vacation sometime! Maybe next year?
Cure For The Run
SomaCow Media and Rock For Hunger teamed up to put on an amazing event. A 0.05k. 164 feet. No, I am not making this up. I honestly had to walk further to get to my car. Seriously!
Over $3,000 dollars was raised to help the homeless in Orlando, FL. Next year, let’s double it!
Here are some pictures from the glorious day. These are other pictures can be found on my flickr page.
SweetUp ‘09
Let’s start from the beginning.. there is twitter. On twitter, you make friends (sometimes), and you meet them at tweetups (twitter meetups). Tweetups are normally held at a restaurant or bar where you can mingle and talk with friends and meet new twitter people. To put a spin on things, this will be a SWEETup. A tweetup, but with LOTS of candy and sweets! Get it? Now, read on.
Next tweetup, SWEETup is on Thursday, September 10th. Winter Park Wedding Chapel is kind enough to host this event at their place!
Thanks to Shaan bringing up candy corn, Justin and Daphne continued talking about candy last week, I have decided since so many people on twitter have to like candy, cake, cupcakes, why not get together and look at it and then eat it!
SUGAR DADDIES: @JeremiahsIce, @SweetByHolly, @KernelEncore
We’d love for EVERYONE to come and bring their favorite treat with them. Since we are not holding this event in a bar or restaurant, sure we’ll get some beverages to have, but not a ton. Think of it as a potluck of sorts. Don’t need to bring anything crazy or $$, just something small for everyone to share.
I’m looking for chocolate, cake, cupcake, lollipop, candy, SWEET places to help out with this event. If you are a company or you know of a company that would be willing to help out please let me know! You can e-mail me at kelly@peglegpug.com or find me on twitter @peglegpug.
To RSVP please visit: SweetUp ‘09
What Just Happened?
I walked into David’s Bridal on Saturday and I wanted to run the other direction. Everyone is trying on dresses that just don’t look right on them, while their family stands there and lie to them about dresses looking beautiful on them. On pedestals, none the less. Too much for me.
It was my first time being in any kind of bridal shop and I don’t know how much times I’ll be able to go back. This visit was NOT for myself, but for a friend of mine that is getting married soon. She is on the hunt for bridesmaid dresses and since I was with them I figured I’d go and take some pictures..and so it begins!

Friends & Fireworks
I saw this…with my own eyes.
Our Fourth of July started at Epcot with our friends, Ashley and Tommy. Stopped at the pub in England, bought a couple of things and then Ashley “forced” us to be American and watch some people sing lots of songs about how wonderful are country is.
After that we went over to hang out with some other friends, Caroline and Alan. What a great way to spend a 4th of July evening. Lots of laughing, lots of “swimming”, and LOTS of beer drinking was had by all. Oh and dancing! On to the pictures and video!
All the pictures of our 4th of July can be found on flickr, in one little convient spot!
