Besides the fact that my electricity came back last night, there are many other reasons to celebrate today.  After all, it’s an important day in the life of our country.  It’s National Talk Like a Pirate Day.  What are you waiting for, Matey?  Let’s get going………RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRr

Live around a chick-fil-a?  Dress like a cow today and receive a free combo meal…or have the essence of a cow and receive only a free entree.  Click here for info.

Need dessert?  In honor of the date being 7/11 you can grab a free slurpee at partcipating 7-Elevens.  Click here for more info.

I’m a loser and don’t feel like using my few hours of free time by dressing like a cow. Plus no 7-Elevens are close by.  I guess I’ll starve…that or dress like a cow in the comfort of my own home and eat like a pig.

Have a great weekend!

 

Either:  1.  These people are familiar with my dad, and are giving him homage (which he aptly deserves).
or
2.  I live in Kentucky.

I choose to think it’s #1.

YEAH FOR GREAT DADS & for restaurants that are willing to acknowledge how sensational my dad is by naming a dessert after him!  Coming soon to your local Arby’s!

Hey friends!  Wanna join me? 
 
YOU ARE INVITED to a FREE, FUN Challenge that will help you acheive your exercise goals!  I participated in this last year and can say from experience that it helped keep me accountable in reaching mine!

Why don’t you consider teaming up with me? The WOMAN Challenge is a virtual exercise challenge that lets group members collectively reach their exercise goals.  This year, my team name is named VICTORY and I’d love it if you would join!  If you are interested, you can register here http://www.womenshealth.gov/woman/register.cfm and let me know.  The challenge runs from May 11(yesterday), and ends on July 5, 2007!  SO sign up and let’s get going!
 
The challenge is rather simple.  #1 Set Weekly Exercise Goals (Goals do NOT have to be outlandish, they could be as simple as 10 minutes of walking per day.) #2 Complete Your Goals. #3 Record Your Goals.  (As long as you meet your goal 5 out of 7 days and do at least some activity 5 out of 7 days, our team will succeed!)
 
Our virtual route will be walking accross the Gulf & Caribbean!  Though we don’t actually walk the same miles that the route actually takes, the challenge monitors the completion of our goals and is a fun way for us to track our efforts and to see our progress.   Each week, when you complete your personal goals, it affects the group goal.  
 
If you DO join, please make sure you’re willing to do your best to finish our group goal (the challenge is set up in such a way that doesn’t allow much wiggle room for slackers!)  We ARE a day behind, so between now and next Saturday, you will have to play catch up and exercise at least 5 of the next 6 days.  If you’d like to, start small and set your goals so you can achieve them. 
 
Looking forward to walking together!
