Well, the walk was very fun as usual and I finally was able to meet my blogger friend Jamie! This year I joined her team instead of heading up my own and from now on I think that is the way I will go...I loved being on her team and she is so very gracious. Jamie even gave me a goody bag for my walk which included couple of hardback books. (I have almost completely read Teri Garr's book on the pot. Yes, I read on the pot I have six kids.) What a great time and the river was nice; we must have the best walk site in the nation!My goal was $250 and thanks to some very lovely people I reached $195 on-line and $25 in a check for a total of...$220!!
Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!
I made it the whole walk but because it was warm (for these parts) I was not entirely sure that I was going to. I also used my sweet new walking stick in the photo above and boy does it attract attention, more than I like in real life. When we were leaving, after a full morning of discussing the walking stick and its' origins, some nice old lady said: "Nice walking stick." I replied: "Thank you."
Under my breath, walking away, I was uttering about geez isn't it a lovely damn stick, wouldn't it feel good crammed down your throat? Grumble, grumble, grumble.
My eldest child snickered, hit me hard and then told me to shut up. Man some people with MS get really ugly when they are tired...
You made me chuckle just now. When I'm tired, I'm definitely a grumpy stump. Best advice for those around me is to simply let me be. I just might bite.
ReplyDeleteMost excellent.
ReplyDeleteThat IS a nice walking stick. I don't have MS and I enjoy using a nice walking stick now and then.
ReplyDeleteThe weather was really nice on Saturday, wasn't it? It got over it pretty quick though...
I'm so glad you made it... I knew you would. I was thinking about you the whole day.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!

Hi--I just came across your blog. I too have MS and I just started a blog of my own for women with it. If you'd like to check it out it's www.momswithms.blogspot.com. I thought it would be a fun idea as a place of support for moms and women with MS. I googled the subject and came across yours. I think blogging is a great way to reach out to others. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHey, I get plenty grumpy, and I don't have MS.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on doing the walk! You did GOOD!
:)

You're doing great! Keep it up, please.
ReplyDeleteChristina,
ReplyDeleteI am SO happy that you joined my team. It was great to finally meet you! What a great family you have. :) Thank you so much for being a part of my team and helping to raise money for all of us with MS. You rock! We will have to get together soon.
Take care,
Jaime
