Y-Me

Hey Look! I'm still alive! I know you all were wondering. (is there anyone even out there??)

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms! Marianne in particular what with it being her first year as a mom!

Mom and I continued our Mother's Day tradition of participating in the Y-Me Walk to Empower. We were joined by lots of friends and family and everyone had a really good time. We went from 3 people last year to about 15 this year! (yeah!)

Here are some pics from walk day.

Mom and Me!

After the walk mom, Mark, and I went to a barbeque at my dad's house. There was lots of family there. And I love having a big family (one that I don't see much so I get updates at these type of events - which are usually invite only and limited to the people we like this week. LOL)

Things I learned:

1) it is not good to call a family member and ask, "are you a good person or are you an asshole?"

2) the conversation isn't over until someone is called and F*ing C*.

I believe these life lessons will serve me in good stead. Hope you all learned a little something yourselves! Have a great week!

Y-Me Walk To Empower

I think there might be one or two (More?) of you that live in Northern California - and some of you who are in cities that may be doing the Y-Me Walk to Empower (read: Chicago).

Y-Me is an organization that provides support/services to people (and their families) who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. They aren't a research for the cure organization, but an organization that serves those who can't wait for a cure. They provide 24 hour telephone support. They match up those who have recently been diagnosed with a survivor so that they have someone they can relate to. They are wonderful!

So, I'm walking. I'm putting together a team to walk on Mother's Day in Sacramento. If you'd like to join me, learn more about y-me and if they are hosting a walk in your area, or if you would like to donate, please click here.

Thanks!
