B-AN-AN-AS!
I made cupcakes! Banana cupcakes! And, the best part is... people loved 'em!
I shall now retire and become a professional baker. Or wedding planner.

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...

golf-claps
cha-ching, cha-ching
(That's the sound of Oriana and Lucy meeting their fundraising goals!)
Way to go, girls!
It looks like the rest of us are well on our way to our individual $1,800 goals... to find out which ones, you'll have to check out our individual fundraising pages (links located in the right side blogroll)!

get it together, Jackson!
Hi everyone... it's me, molly. AKA Diet Coke Girl. If you don't know why, then you must not know me very well.
Anyway, I wanted to write my first blog post to commemorate the fact that I finally set up my personal donation page (holla). Next task, fixing the team page for "Pink is the New Avon Walk." That will have to happen post-LOST watching.
In addition, Liz, Lucy, and I finally sent out an email to colleagues at work, and we're already off to a great start. It's really quite touching- and telling. Breast cancer really does affect us all.
I promise to be more entertaining in the future, but I'm sick with a really nasty cold, so that's all for now.
