			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Happy Fall!!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m finally getting back to my blog after a long hiatus. I know it&#8217;s been quite awhile but some time off was needed to reevaluate some things. Feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and ready for Fall!! And with the start of October kicks off Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Last year I had the great opportunity to collaborate with some fine digital scrapbook designers to create the <a href="http://www.tarasrokadesigns.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=88">Save the Tatas Breast Cancer Charity Kit</a>. All of the proceeds went to the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk and I&#8217;m THRILLED to announce that this year the kit will be available again.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.tarasrokadesigns.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=88"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-931" title="savethetatas-ad-blog1" src="http://www.tarasrokadesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/savethetatas-ad-blog1.jpg" alt="savethetatas-ad-blog1" width="504" height="504" /></a></p>
<p>This kit is the same as last year but it&#8217;s still a gem of a kit to have! So if you didn&#8217;t purchase it last year you can get the kit from <a href="http://www.tarasrokadesigns.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=88">my store</a>. The download instructions and links are in the Word document upon downloading your purchase since this is a HUGE kit. So make sure to read the instructions to get the kit.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/136886551/db3216c2/tsroka-pink-sequins-galore.html"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1074" title="tsroka-pink-sequins-galore-p" src="http://www.tarasrokadesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/tsroka-pink-sequins-galore-p.jpg" alt="tsroka-pink-sequins-galore-p" width="360" height="360" /></a></p>
<p>And last but not least to celebrate the kick off to Breast Cancer Awareness Month I&#8217;ve put together a fun little <a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/136886551/db3216c2/tsroka-pink-sequins-galore.html">freebie</a> for you all. Hope you enjoy some pink sequins and hopefully we can end this deadly disease by spreading awareness.</p>

<p>Anyways, nothing all that exciting here to report. I did have to take out my belly ring for a MRI I am having. Haven&#8217;t taken it out in 11 years, so it&#8217;s weird. Plus it&#8217;s making me feel old&#8230;just another example of how things are different from my wild younger days. LOL!</p>
<p>Week 2 of dieting went well. Lost 2 pounds. WOO HOO! Only 48 to go. =P</p>
<p>Looking forward to 30Rock coming back this week although I did see the premiere episode already but I&#8217;ll watch it again. Speaking of 30Rock we saw Judah Friedlander who plays  Frank on our walk today. He looks exactly the same in person &#8211; WEIRD!</p>

<p>Last but not least, this is the last week to get <a href="http://www.tarasrokadesigns.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=88">Save the Tatas Breast Cancer Charity Kit</a>. All proceeds are going to Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, so make sure to get it while you can!!</p>
