My #ALSIceBucketChallenge

I saw the challenge going around and to be honest I didn't really want to get nominated. Yes, it raises awareness and possibly cash for a great cause, (Lou Gehrig's Disease), but did I really want to dump a bucket of ice water on my head? Not really.

Then the moment came.
My sister, gotta love her, nominated me.
I've never been one to turn down a challenge, so off I went immediately to get the bucket of ice cold water. I didn't use ice cubes, that would probably hurt, but really cold water had the same effect without the lumps afterward. I threw on my bathing suit, had to be prepared for the big splash, and off I went to it.
The hubby took the video. Pardon my face without makeup on, but picture all that running down my face after the soaking... yeah, I wasn't going there either.

 Anyway, enjoy the laugh and remember to give, even just a little, to a great cause, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or ALS. Thank you.

    I think you had the right idea about doing it in the shower instead of outdoors..

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
