My Plaque

For Kokopelli, they sent me home with instructions to go to a web site and order my plaque.

Remember that I got third in the fat ladies under 39 division?

This is why I stay fat. So I can actually win something.

And you thought it was just cuz I like food.

Well.. it came! They let me upload any picture I wanted. Thank you Melissa for being our photographer. I'm really sad that we didn't get one of ALL of us, and I hope you are not offended that U are not in the picture, but I wanted something other than their "stock" photo.

Who wants a picture of chicken stock on their winning plaque? Not me.

Here it is.... sitting on my brown carpet. I zoomed in cuz I was too lazy to bend down and pick it up.
It looks more like a picture I should hang up on the wall than a winning plaque, but you should never look a gift horse in the mouth. No complaining cuz I WON (third place)!

Plus, it was free! (well... minus the 95 bucks I paid to race :-)

Hooray for a plaque! And there's no way that 'fat people under 39' is a real category.

I think a picture is better than some plaque that you will just look at in a few years and be like...uh what am I supposed to do with that. Now you have a cute picture.

Congrats! I LOVE your costume & truck for the trunk or treat, that was a way good idea! So sorry you ran out of Reese's, I always keep the good chocolate stuff for myself (I'm so selfish)....

That's a great plaque! It has all the necessary winning information and it's a great picture. It definately deseveres to be above the mantel in a place of honor.
