Iowa City -- July 2013 -- Survivors 2013

liefie

Enjoy reading here . . . LOLLOLLOL!!!!

You go, Mcook! I will be cheering you on in my absence, and you have my full support. Just don't know if the USA and Iowa will know what has hit them when these Canadian girls arrive - Scottiee, you'll have to put tackle on them, and rein them in like horses . . . LOL. Okay, I'm just plain jealous. Will wait for NY.

Scottiee1

Mcook...walk, run, crawl ...WTH cares....do what your body tells you to do.



Yes, Juneau....the Canucks are coming.....look out Iowa and Chicago...💃



Liefie....OMG....how am I going to do this....I'm in training already.....may have to purchase leashes and give them a crash course at "obedience school"...😱



Tazzy....don't tell Liefie....just faking here 😇....didn't actually tell her what I'm in training for...😎

liefie

Scottiee, obedience training is a good idea. Just remember it goes hand in hand with rewards for good behaviour . . . in this case, the liquid kind would be well received . . . classes won't be long -  lol.

Scottiee1

Oops, Liefie....forgot about the rewards....kale smoothies then for good behaviour....😜😷

liefie

Scottiee, good luck to you if you think they will be happy with kale smoothies . . . You may have a mutiny on your hands - lol.

Joanne_53

We will be fine ... Spending too much checking the sites in Chicago to drink TOO much ... I am sure we will have good intentions however ..

Tazzy

Does putting vodka in kale smoothies work ?

Joanne_53

No especially if it is organic vodka

Scottiee1

Jo, why are you winding me up.....Tazzy, yes, organic vodka will work....😎

liefie

Organic vodka - now that's what I call a kale smoothie!

Scottiee1

Liefie.....did I mention organic kale as well...😜

stride

Mcook, it is amazing that you are going to do 21 miles of anything after having had cancer. No matter the speed, it is an impressive distance.

liefie

Scottiee, as long as it's organic, eh? Lol.

Scottiee1

Liefie....now you're catching on.....🍹

shianne29

Lmfao.... I was thinking tequila for the kale smoothie!!!



See, mcook, we all love you!! I'm thinking those of us meeting up with you, we could crawl the last mile or two... Pub crawl that is ;-)

Tazzy

So as long as its organic eh?   I will bring organic wine too.

I agree with Shianne mcook... the fact you are attempting this is amazing... and yes, we can crawl the last couple of miles - maybe we could do a pub crawl relay.

iatigger

Count me in on the pub crawl but I still think I will pass on the on the Kale smoothie regardless of what you add to it.

Joanne_53

if they add enough tequila and chocolate then I am game to try ... lol

Moderators

How many are meeting? We're trying to figure out just how many of our members get together at these get-togethers . Thanks for letting us know!!! Sounds like a good time together!!!
Melissa and the Mods

Joanne_53

Right now I think the count is 9 but could be 10 ...

We are getting excited!

Tazzy

Yes we are

shianne29

Very, excited!!! Can't wait to hug my breast sisters!!!

Scottiee1

Shianne.....not too hard, ok...ha ha ha

shianne29

Gentle hugs lol!!!

Tazzy

I got a PM from someone on the Illinois thread that suggested that some of the Chicago ladies would like to meet up with us Canadians in Chicago .. So I have posted on their thread and there are 3 that might be interested in meeting up for dinner with us (Scottiee, Tazzy, shianne and me) ... Boy,this is going to be the adventure.

Tazzy

That is just so cool - oh! my what an adventure indeed.

shianne29

Wow!! That is an adventure!!! Lol dinner and tropical drinks?

Scottiee1

Wow!!!!! I'm so ready for this!!!!! BUT ....is Chicago ready for us...❤😎🍹💃

mcook301

LOL Tazzy I love that! So did I miss where you all are staying at in chi town? Lots of Greek food and nasty fatty yummy food every where so bring the blender for those smoothies to detox! And of course vodka works in them duh! I am one of those crazy girls who juice at times but not as religious as I was during chemo as it is difficult to find time but I do seem to not get all my veggies unless I juice then I don't feel so bad about my evening meal being wine:) balance is my motto



So has someone made a little sheet with all the information? Might be a good thing when it gets close to pm everyone with contact numbers and itineries:) my memory seriously sucks anymore (maybe always has)



Yep I can guareentee that I will be walking/crawling some of that run! I have a couple of friends that said they would take some of the miles for me if needed so feeling a little better about that. I was getting pretty stressed out about it and then told myself what is the worst that could happen? I have to ask someone to help me? That is what life is about any why, right being able to support and love each other:)



Man or man I need to go shopping and find a bathing suit unless you all want to see me supporting a thong because my ones now would never cover my new sexy,"junk in my truck ass" it would be look like a thong!



Love and hugs to all!
