I'll take some! Actually, taking my company to Starbucks and off for manicures! That is if I can stop coughing long enough...See you guys later! Have a great day!

stews · 05-10-2008, 06:07 AM

ah, that was nice. maybe I'll have energy to get through the run and enjoy the rest of the day after, LOL

I really don't want to run. I had planned on walking with the slowest walker and letting my highschool helpers enjoy the day how they wanted to. BUT, my co coach really thinks I should run and come in toward the front of our team so I'm at the finish line as the rest cross. she has a point too, lol. just not sure how much I can run.

eh, I'm afraid if I choose to try to run with the faster team members I won't be able to keep up and I really want to stick with kids from my team.

Can I come with ya?

Peskie · 05-10-2008, 06:11 AM

stews, sorry you don't feel like running.* Just remind youself over and over again it's not really "running" but doing something you actually love.* Make it a mind thing minute by minute

(as if I'm a good one to offer suggestions or advice

)

stews · 05-10-2008, 06:19 AM

I'm sure I'll enjoy it with the girls. just not sure how fast I want to push myself when my lungs aren't 100% yet. plus I have a headache (that will probably go away.)

I really do think that once we meet up with the girls and see their excitement I'll be ok (well the excitement might not hit until they get over to the stadium, it's early for them too, lol), listen to the founder of the organization speak (she spoke a little last night at the party and this is going to be amazing).

they have bands from a high school there to play. some of the school mascots, starbucks was making a sign with EVERY girl's name on it. starbucks was also having employees there to do face painting for the kids that want it. they will have pastries and coffee for all of us that want them too.

each team will have a flag in their school colors and the teams will take 1 lap around the track carrying their flag before heading out the stadium for the rest of the course. (think olympics procession, lol).

they have volunteers all along the course to point them in the right direction and cheer them on.

stews · 05-10-2008, 06:22 AM

I won't be around much later, either.

we are leaving about 1:30 to go out of town for an early mother's day dinner with dh's family at Olive Garden.

It looks like it is going to be a gor-g-mus day today.

la.lady · 05-10-2008, 08:41 AM

Hi Girls, well I finally turned on my air last night. It was 85 degrees in our house and Henry was burning up. I was comfortable myself, but I let him. It is just the opposite for me now. I use to get real hot and he was real cold, but since I cut the carbs out during the day, I get cold easy.

la.lady · 05-10-2008, 08:51 AM

Henry is weed eating under the hill. I hope he will still be a Happy Camper when he gets through.

la.lady · 05-10-2008, 08:51 AM

dooy, I hope that you get to feeling better. Prayers for you, Darling...

Everyone have a great Saturday...

la.lady · 05-10-2008, 08:52 AM

see ya...

SunaBee · 05-10-2008, 10:02 AM

I just wish it would go away.

and I'm still sick so it makes everything worse.

*HUGS* Dooy... I've still been fighting the crud too - hope we both snap out of it REAL soon!!!!

SunaBee · 05-10-2008, 10:29 AM

Girls - mind looking here and giving me a hand?

Peskie · 05-10-2008, 10:43 AM

It took me a few tries to find the right one for me, Sunabee, but for my work laptop, I got a wheeled luggage type briefcase.

I had a super nice leather one that was really ME, but it was heavy and with my back issues, I had to eventually change to the wheeled type for work, despite it not being so "pretty".

Now, my personal one, I just toss it in a nice tote bag that's fairly light, but not meant for laptops (because I don't have to carry other stuff with it) and DH uses my old leather one when we go on vacation because it can slide right on top of the luggage.

la.lady · 05-10-2008, 11:41 AM

Baby, I can't help you on this. I don't have a laptop. I would love to have one though, but Henry says I don't need one, since my computer is in the living room. I said well I could watch T.V. then and talk to my Wit's at the same time, but I don't think he went for it...
