24 Hour Relay Report--Facebook Style

-
Status:

Walked almost 30 km this weekend.

Walked from 11pm until 3 am--did 20 km--stumbled, weaved, bobbed, and limped through that last 2 kms and now have empirical knowledge of what it feels like to be asleep on your feet.  

Feet hurt.

Legs hurt.

Hips hurt.

75 year old man passed us during our 4th hour. He was on his 16th hour and managed to run 165 km in a 24 hour period. Inspiring!

Humbled by elderly, fit man, called the Lone Wolf. What courage.

Reached my fund raising goal.  Thank you to all who donated.  Your contributions helped to raise over $1,000,000.00 and send 852 kids to summer camp this year.  Thank you. 

Visited Starbucks 3 times in effort to warm up. Weather was not on our side. Cold and rainy! Ick! 

Slept in a tent trailer for the first time in my life! It was so cool. It was also especially wonderful to be out of the rain and not sleeping on the ground.

Met a bunch of crazy people.  Got to hang out wif  my best fwiend for the entire weekend!

Had a great time.

Made a fool of myself...(as usual)

Am hooked--signing up again for next year!

Bringing my kids...

Lisa,

Congrats on your accomplishment. I hope you don't mind but I highlighted what you are doing on my blog. I have an interest in promoting philanthropy and I ran across this fun post from you and shared it with my readers. Thanks again for being a great example!

Good bye...

...and that, my friends, concludes this blog. I think yesterday's post is an appropriate way to end it. I really don't have the time to keep a blog anymore.  My posts aren't as entertaining as they used to be (sometimes I bore myself) and right now it just seems more like a chore than a creative outlet. I will keep the blog active for awhile until I can find the time to slurp all the posts into a book but I don't think I'll be adding anything new. Thanks for reading.  Thanks for all the support over the years.  Thanks for listening to the Crazee Chick rant... See you later.... Lisa

Scents and Scents-ability

Before I became a Mommy I was a working girl. And when I was a working girl, I was a GOOD smelling working girl. I had my favorites--Tresor, Poison, Giorgio, Ysatis, Tuscany per Donna, Eternity by Calvin Klein, Perry Ellis and Alfred Sung. I had so many perfumes--and I loved them all! Then I became a Mommy and I did away with all my perfumed-ness. Why? I guess I didn't want my baby to have to breathe all that while s/he was trying to nurse. Perfumed flavored milk? Yucky! And...I never went out so why did I need to smell pretty? Wasn't smelling like breast milk, puke and baby poop enough of a sensory overload? Now I'm two things: Mommy and Working Girl. But I'm not a breastfeeding Mommy so you know what that means... BRING ON THE PERFUME!! The other day I went to the store and I was bowled over by the choices! Givenchy has a million scents now, JLo has like three kinds, and then there's that Ed Hardy guy with the fabulous name-- Christian Audidgi...
