Friday, August 29th, 2008The personal training company that trained me for the first Avon Walk, I’ve just realized, has been charging me for training sessions almost every month since last March. They were supposed to stop last December, and when I didn’t get charged in January, I thought it was over. And then the little description bit on […]
it’s a start
Thursday, May 8th, 2008I have some more photos on the PinkBerry, but I haven’t figured out yet how to get them onto the computer, so for now, here are some pictures that my sister took around either mile 14.5 or mile 16.
This first one was taken from across the street. And yes, at the first sight of a […]
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! BOYS AND GIRLS! GATHER ROUND!
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008Here it is, friends! I am proud to introduce you to…
THE STIFF FIVE
Imagine, if you will (Whitney won’t), two 73-year-old politicians who have never been particularly “cool” in their lives. They’ve just won a highly competitive team Parcheesi tournament, however, and they are super stoked about it. So stoked are they, in fact, that they […]
photos forthcoming, however…
Monday, May 5th, 2008I wanted to give you an update on the walk even though I don’t have any pictures to share yet.
First of all, I made a walking skirt, and I customized my Rack Pack shirt for Saturday’s walk, and no less than fifteen women stopped me to comment on one or the other. It was incredible. […]
next up…
Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008Well, now that you know I’ve finished my fundraising (!!!), I guess I don’t need to tell you that the crock-pot cook-off was rather a success. But I’ll tell you anyway. First of all, it was a lot of fun. Once we got there and stopped planning/preparing, when we could just enjoy the company and […]

the pressure, the pressure of genius
Monday, April 14th, 2008It always amuses me when I receive comments from people saying how much they enjoy my blog, or how they laughed out loud at something I said. It’s not that I don’t think I’m entertaining. I get laughed at a lot. I’m just not sure it’s always in a complimentary sort of way. When it […]
who’s coming to DC?
Wednesday, April 9th, 2008Ok faithful friends and blog readers, I have some questions for you.
Are you planning on coming to DC with us for the walk (May 3-4)? We would LOVE it.
Do you have a place to stay? ‘Cause I found a pretty cheap hotel in Arlington, and I booked a room, but if you want to go […]
