huzzah

I'm fighting my weekly "it's hot - now it's cold - now it's hot - now it's cold" COLD, so I don't have much of anything to report on the walking front, but I do have a bunch to say about the fundraising.

First of all, though my thermometer doesn't indicate it yet, I've reached my fundraising minimum! Huzzah! I'm pretty pumped about it. I'd be more pumped if my thermometer reflected my victory, but hey- whatever. I'll take it.

The best part about raising this money for Avon's Walk for Breast Cancer has to be all of the kind and thoughtful emails and letters I've received in relation to this walk. It's truly been overwhelming. I mean- I didn't realize just how much this issue touched my closest friends and family members. The personal ties are deeply touching - and I wanted to thank everyone for taking the time to share their stories with me.

In lighter news, the gals at NARAL Pro-Choice America have organized an office-wide bake sale for March 28, so that's something fun to look forward to. Don't worry- I'll be purchasing my contribution at Whole Foods. I wouldn't want to accidentally sideline anyone with my lackluster baking skillz.

Also at NARAL Pro-Choice America: a March Madness pool. We had a record breaking year with over 80 participants and $400 in the pool. Niiiice. Too bad I'm not in the top ten. Either way, 1/2 of the pool is going to Avon, so that's incredible!

What else? I suppose that's all for now.

Keep walking it out...
