Florida game kitchen gate


As noted in my previous post, it was raining when we all got up way too early on Saturday to start tailgating… after a few phone calls and multiple texts, it was established that we would go to Kenny’s house to tailgate, or more like kitchen gate. I found it funny that it was referred to as “Kenny’s” – only because Amanda was out of town…
Jennifer and Brittany and I had our celebratory mimosa’s, even drank out of real glass! We tried not to spill to much champagne, Kenny yelled at us a lot and we really tried to be careful… and as you can tell, we weren’t quite awake. Good times.
We even circled up and passed around the Turkey Hill, this time we had freezer berry or something of the sort instead of strawberry Boone’s farm – it sure was not the same. Aaron finished off the bottle, as he should since it was his birthday.
As everyone headed up to the game, MZ and I headed home to pack for Little Rock… more to come on that.

The game was a loss, but not as bad as it should have been! So we called it a draw…
Tim Te-who?

Game Day woes…

Well, we should be walking out the door to begin tailgating for the 11:30 massacre, I mean game between Florida and Arkansas. However, it’s RAINING! I’m a strict follower of the weather channel and this was not called for!
So no tailgating… I’m super bummed too because I had a SUPER cute shirt to wear courtesy of Dirty Girls Laundry…

Pink Ribbon Luncheon

Thursday, October 2nd was the 11th annual Pink Ribbon Luncheon of Northwest Arkansas. Each October, over 500 people gather in support of everything that Komen Ozark stands for and does for the fight against Breast Cancer. This year was no different. Christine Clifford was the guest speaker and really energized the crowd with her humor and positive outlook on life and being a 14 year survivor! I got to see some of my friends from Walmart that were on my race committee when I worked at the home office! I’m selfishly hoping that my record from last year of 2200 racers from the home office and over 1 million in donations stays standing at the top for quite some time. But I know the team this year will do everything possible to beat my record, especially since I can guarantee some stiff competition from Tyson (since I’m there now)! Yep, that’s a dare! hehe

There was a great display from Brighton and some other stores in the area who support Komen on a national basis. I loved this display: I’m so honored and proud to be part of such an amazing cause! The fight against Breast Cancer translates into the fight for the cure to cancer in general. I have been affected by so many types of cancer in my family and group of friends – I know there is a cure and I know it will be found with in my life time!

I’d love to eventually work for the National Affiliate – so if anyone from Komen National reads this (or if anyone feels obliged to pass it on) PLEASE PLEASE do so!
My Resume is ready!
