Eat for the Cure
For the last 2 years, our company has participated in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Miami. Last year, I really got into it and ran the 5k. I actually came in 3rd for our company. This year, of course, was destined to be different. Steve and I decided to sign up for the 1 mile walk. I think I could manage walking the 5k, but thought of being out there and needing to go to the restroom was very unappealing. I avoid public restrooms at all cost and there is NO way I am going to go into a port-a-potty.
The race was held this morning and it was even more different from last year than I imagined. We woke up to drizzling weather. As we were driving to the race, the rain picked up. When we got down there, it was pouring. Our boss called and asked if we all wanted to go out for breakfast instead - SURE! Our fees had been paid and we all had our shirts so the charity part of the race had been taken care of. Everyone who had taken the public transportation piled in his suburban. Steve & I followed them to a Cuban restaurant in Little Havana. They served big breakfasts for $3 - $5. We stuffed ourselves while joking and laughing about stupid things (it was early). So - instead of getting up and exercising for the breast cancer cause, we went out to eat. Good thing, this wasn't about feeding the poor.

This blog is like a journal for me. It is also a way for my friends to keep tabs on me.
For people who don't know me, I come from a big family (3 brothers & 1 sister). We moved around a LOT, so I am not really from one particular place. I like to call Katy, Texas my home though.
Recent news, my Dad & Mother-in-Law were diagnosed with Terminal Cancer in April/May of 2005. My dad passed away 5-Dec-05 .
