Overwhelmed...and Thankful!

Today I feel like dancing and crying...I have reached my goal of raising $2000 for the Avon Walk!  It's been a long road I wanted to thank EVERYONE for all they have done to support me and the team.  Our Florida, NY friends have been a big blessing as well as family and sisters, baseball families and friends.  If you haven't donated you still have time...another $200 and I get a free baseball hat to wear while I walk!  

Also, I am still doing the Tastefully Simple Internet/catalog party and all proceeds will go towards my walk, hurry and get your orders in by August 31st, there are some great specials going on now.

 Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart!

LC, thank you for always being there for me no matter what....I love you!

So, now who's gonna be at the finish line on Sunday October 20th?

Addiction and not much to report

Other then my addiction to Angry Birds, there really isn't much to report.  I'm on hold with my training due to an undetermined knee injury and have spent the better part of 2 weeks stoned out of my gord on pain meds waiting test results.  But I'm not gonna complain, especially when a Dr. understands real pain and takes care of it immediately.  Tomorrow is results day and I have 13 weeks to be back in full on 40 mile mode!
Over and Out

Walk update and a little self pity

Hello All

I wanted to update you on our walk progress and our new team page that Avon and Stacey have so graciously put in place for us.
First a foremost I wanted to thank you all for your participation in our Superbowl fundraiser, we were able to raise $550.00.  $500 from the pool and $50 from my boss who won the 3rd quarter and donated his winnings back to our walk....so thank you all and thank you Tom X 2.
The Florida New York Fire Department has also donated $1000 towards our walk....so thank you to them for their GENEROUS donation!  $1550.00 down, $2250.00 to go although we hope to exceed our goal if possible.

Now that the walk info is given, here comes the self pity part.  Valentine's day has never been my favorite holiday by far, but every year I hope that some one....Mr. Sullivan....will change that for me and sweep me off my feet with some sappy declaration of love and devotion.  Well after 13 years, he still hasn't figured that part out so now I officially HATE Valentines Day FOREVER!!!
To top that off we have been talking about my 40th birthday all year.  I was offered a trip of my choosing, which I passed up because all I really wanted was to spend the evening with my friends and families with drinks and a great cake.  Well, here we are 25 days away and not a single plan has been made and every possibility taken away from my dream day.  So, for those of you interested we will be spending my 40th bday in Florida, NY doing a bar stumble on Saturday March 10th...come out and see just how much booze it takes to get me stumble around FL, NY drunk!

Quick update before 5pm

So the good news is I dug in and sorted through my recipes and weeded out more then half!
Other good news is our fundraising for the Avon Walk for Breast Canacer is in full swing and we have so far raised $1550.00 of the $3600.00 to meet our goal!  Thank you to all who have participated and thoe who don't know they still owe me....
Happy Wednesday XXXOOO

Fundraising for us....football pool for you!

Hello All....Happy Thursday


As you know, I'm walking in the 2 day event for Breast Cancer in October. My team and I need to raise at least $3,600.00 to walk.

We are doing a Superbowl pool, and have the proceeds will go towards the walk. The other half - you could win!! Please let me know if you are interested.

It's $10 a box. $250 for the final, $150 for Halftime, $50 for 1st and 3rd. $500 donated to Avon Walk for Breast Cancer! Let me know if you're interested, thanks for your support!!!

****please note this is the brain storm of my co-walker, Team Captain Morse****

Help....

I need to find the motivation to start training for my walk in October....not that I'm in bad shape by any means, but it still requires me building my endurance for a 20 mile day back to back.
What I need is a soundtrack, one that is built by friends and family.  I want each of you to send me a message to my personal email sullygirl2009@gmail.com and give me a song that we shared and your memory of it.  I'm going to download it to my ipod and use it as part of my training and walk.  If we don't have one, then I am okay with a random motivating song, just tell me why you chose it.
I look forward to hearing from you and expect to have a HUGH library and a lot of memories to keep me going.  I know a few will make me cry and other laugh, I look forward to those emotions to keep my momentum.

Happy 2012

Last night I was reminded that I do not update my blog enough and for the 2 people who actually care enough to read it, that's just not fair!  I'm not going to make some stupid New Years Resolution and tell you I am going to keep up, because I will only break it like every other resolution I've made in the last 30 years.  5 years ago I gave up New Years Resolutions, but I do set goals for the year....still working on my BIG one from 2011 and that is my recipe mess.

So, medical update...I'm officially fixed and all is well.  I'm as healthy as I can be with the exception of the 10 lbs I gained over the holidays which I am fixin' to work off.  With my family history and my own scare, I have decided to walk the Avon 2 day Walk for Breast Cancer out of NY this October.  I will be changing around my blog shortly to reflect my dedication to this cause.  I have always been an advocate for Breast Cancer, but doing this walk this year means I'm ready to make a difference.  I will be walking with my bestie Stacey and our team name is the RACK PACK.  We are open to taking on others interested in walking.
If you would like to make a donation towards my walk please follow the link below:

So keep an eye out for the changes to my site and my fundraising efforts.  This is for all my friends and family, near and far who have had cancer touch their lives.  Cancer is cancer and finding a cure is key!
