Happy St. Patty's Day and Update

Happy St. Patty's Day everyone! Hope everyone has a fun day but not too much fun!

Team Update: Well we have another new walker on the team - Karen Silver and a new crew member - Leslie Gogan! We have a good size team going and we are only going to be growing more! But mainly crew members I do believe, maybe one more walker. Who would have thought when Balee and I started the team(she started and I joined in) that we would have so many people to join us?! This is great! I can't wait for the walk!

Fundraising Update: Things are really coming along for the Spaghetti Dinner. I am working on selling the tickets and getting a good head count to give Stadium Grill. The chinese auction prizes are racking up and I can't wait to see everything put together. So far I think we are going to have a pretty good turn out! I hope the list keeps growing! Still working on the team fundraiser "Bowling for Boobs", hopefully will have a date soon some time in June.

Training Update: I have started getting my longer walks in. I have done a few 6 milers in the past week. One type of sock is already down! But the second type went pretty well yesterday. I think I am going to look for some gel inserts to see if those make the walk a little more comfortable. My clown shoes(cuz they are bigger than my real size to make sure that my feet have room) are working out well so far. I loosened the laces a little about half way last night and I think that helped. No hip pain this time which was better(I had to fix my stride because of overstriding). This week is spring break so I am going to be able to get more walking in. Once I go back to class next week, it all depends on when it starts getting dark as to how far I can walk. Since I mainly walk by myself I am trying to do it during the daylight for safety reasons of course.

Life in General Update: Things are calming down for me finally. My dad is doing much better, not out of the woods but much better than he was a month ago! Mom #2 is doing good too considering. I got to see her a few weekends ago which was the first time since she started the chemo. It was good to see her and give her a big hug!
I got to get away this past weekend to go see my bestie Balee in KY and had a great time!! It was so nice to just get away even if it was just for Saturday/Sunday! I am going on a casino bus trip next week for a FAB(Team For-A-Breast) fundraiser for two of their wonderful walkers, my friends Tina and Cat! I am looking forward to that bus ride!

Until next time! Live, Laugh(alot) and Walk!

Almost there!

Well, I am almost there! I am up to $1,744 online! WOOHOO!! Today I have been working on organizing my chinese auction baskets. I have some good ones lined up as long as everything works out! I have a couple calls today into some local businesses to see if I can get some donations for a few other baskets! Hopefully they will come thru!
I am back on track with trying to organize my "Bowling for Boobs" team fundraising event. Everything was pretty put on hold with the whole situation with my dad, but not I am trying to get back on track. I will keep everyone posted on any updates for the bowling event.
Our team has a new team member - Jeff Evilsizer - he is our newest crew member! As of right now we have 6 walkers: Me, Shari, Amber, Jaimie, Gina and Jen! Keep up the good work fundraising girls! Once I meet my goal then my fundraising efforts will go towards helping the rest of our walkers! We can do it!!!
Training is well not getting kick started as well as I am hoping. I am hoping now the weather is breaking that I can maybe get a walk in tonight, but only time will tell with that one.
Thanks to everyone for their support and for supporting Team Mammaritaville with our efforts to fight breast cancer!!
