MI Survivors

Ok – you guys are killing me!!!! I’m getting a vision of illuminating, tattooed, stuffed sausage legs. No, the race was June last year also! But, you can go to Yahoo weather and see from the extended forecast that it is supposed to be in the 70’s! That is, if they can really predict Michigan weather that much in advance (if at all).

There is nothing you have to do Michelle unless you want to start tanning those legs. Just kidding!! I sent you a message offline about the packets. Let’s work something out when it is convenient for you.

I can’t believe THAT PICTURE. I’m just tired of looking at it. Shel, I can walk you through putting your picture up if you want but you still cannot remove the one at the top of the page. You should put that picture of you on your Jeep. You could be a model for Chrysler. (ok – stupid question, The jeep is by Chrysler, right?) Yep, he better dig deep in his pockets for that remark. Well, can you blame him? Even Alexandra thought it was one of us!

I’ll try and fix the team page soon. I really didn’t think there was any way to get to it unless I gave it out but I see you can get to it by the fundraising link. Oh well, that is Bella on there. I think I already mentioned that I tried to remove that banner but they do not let you. I thought it was just my own page when I set it up and didn’t have much of a fundraising goal as you can see if you have already stumbled across it.

It does sound easier to put your offline contributions on your credit card if you don’t mind doing that. I think there is still a way to send online thank you notes to anyone you want. Thank your dad for the coins, that was awfully nice! Nice touch putting them in your tennies. Sure, Ill draw attention to my fat ankles.

Thank you for doing the fundraising. It makes us all look good since they are putting it on the team page. Sorry I’m such a slug about it. Everybody I know is tapped out with fundraising for different things so I haven’t even mentioned this event to my work.

Went for a walk during lunch and missed all the fun! Talk to you soon.
xxxooo

Thanks, everyone, for the laughs! I just got home from shopping and needed one, desperately. If half of what you all say is true, I just might brave it and wear shorts (not!).

Too funny.

Nancy - I think you ought to put the jacket on Bella and get a photo. She looks like an agreeable pup.

lol! my cell is (519)819 1487.........but i'll be the most likely to be lost (or late), i'm sooo not a morning person!

I updated our team page but I don't really think anyone will view it unless they are really digging for it or stumble upon it out of curiosity.

You guys are giving out your own link for fundraising, right? If not, let me know if I should change anything...particulary "scared shitless". I don't want to speak as a team if that offends anyone. Maybe I should just change it or yank it? I'm always doing this!

NotMe - I could ask my DH to drop your stuff off in advance at conniesue's if that would work for you and she wouldn't mind? Does she need to pick up her packet at the race?

well i'm sure it'll come as no surprise that the wording suits me just fine!!!!!!!!!!

i will have surpassed my goal off 1,000 dollars by thursday so we should remain in the top fundraising category..............i'm so excited!!!!!!!
i'm a little nervous about walking that "far".......i hope there are some other slowpokes!

Ok you guys... kats and I were talking and this is what Racelady Jan had to say...

I love this story - do you think you and the rest would be interested in doing a story for us? We are always looking for nice ones that the media will pick up on. I'd like to pitch it - can't say if they will use it or not.
Can't wait to meet you all now!
Jan

I was cc'd on it but haven't gotten it. It's lost in cyberspace or something. Is this too cool or what!?!

Shel - great fundraising! Don't worry about walking. Walk down the block and turn around if you want. You can still sign up for the trolley.

I just sent out a bunch of emails to all my pig...er...friends to see if I can get more donations. Keep your fingers crossed, guys.

I have 3 people I want to commemorate--a great-aunt, an aunt, and the friend of a friend. I think I'll need a second card.

Racelady was talking to kats about coming from Chicago to meet us Michigan ladies and how we are connected online through breastcancer.org. She asked Kats if she was coming to meet family and she told her about our team. I'd have to open my email to see if I have that right. I hope I have the general conversation - Mary? She gave Mary a parking pass since she is coming so far. That was really nice.

I ran to two 'dollar stores' after my MAMMOGRAM (yes it was good!) I didn't see any bandannas but they had a few things. One had feather boa's. They only had 15 pink though but there were other colors. The other store had lua lei's made of cloth/silk flowers in various colors. Those were $1.00 each. Then I saw a necklace that glows in the dark in multicolors for 2/$1.00. The cutest thing was a long fluffy monkey that had velcro on its hands to lock around something. DH mentioned.. like a monkey on your back? I said sure. But, they didn't have enough and hubby mentioned that would be hot to carry around. I noticed that one group had strings tied from the neck to arm of their t-shirts to make them sorta sleeve less if you can picture that? We could get some fluffy yarn and do that? Another cute thing was neon color hair pieces like a bunch of pink & purple curls that you pin to your hat. They didn't have enough though.

So, I'll go with whatever you guys want! Do you have time to get bandannas? How much were they? They sound nice.

Irene - do you know how we can contact Lila Lazarus or Kim Adams? Who is Kim Adams anyway? I hope your ankle is getting better. Geez - only a few days left! No t-shirts or banner from bc.org yet.
