~How TWO trips became...who knows? ~ It's a TRIP! and an upgrade.... 4/22

[maroo]

I am pretty sure I "introduced" TK and Liesa, too!

That sounds like a great moto!


Well...

It is OFFICIAL - folks!

I am an official member of the Team in Training (TnT) for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society!

I have not received my training schedule yet...but I have plans to walk on my brand new treadmill this afternoon!



And...you know what...I am not really "excited"...I am determined. It is a different feeling. It doesn't feel like a "fly by night" sort of commitment.

Does that make sense to anyone besides me?

Of course.....

This is not a pre-trip report about THAT...so I guess I better get back to planning for December, huh!

 

[jenb1023]

I love TK shirts and Dole Whips (floats or regular)! If I show up for the TC3 and the marathon, do I get one of each? (J/K though it is a very lovely thought!)

Good for you! I am trying to get serious and focused on a getting healthy journey starting today so we will have to encourage each other.

BTW - 39 days until my trip!
(And five days until we move - )

 

[TarzansKat]

I am so glad you guys are getting to know each other!!!

I love TK's reports. And I love that's nice reports, too! So you should know each other!

I need to get over to his reports an reciprocate!

Well after the invite.. I'm going to stop by! I hope I don't have to read through 40+ pages! LOL
YAY I'm fun!!!!!!

This is even funnier knowing what I know now.

Most people love the Dole Whip. I love the debates about it... come to think of it, I love all the debates on these boards!

And you come at them in such a good natured way! That's what I enjoy.

Here is your new slogan:
Maroo- bring DISers together since August 2008!

Perfect for her!!!

I am pretty sure I "introduced" TK and Liesa, too!

You most certainly did, and I am grateful. She's awesome!

That sounds like a great moto!

Aw, shucks!!!! I'm really feeling the love.





Maroo, congrats on becoming an official member! How exciting!!!

 

[Sandy321]

Maroo I know exactly what you mean! I was excited to go in '08 - and I didnt do very well... this time I"M DETERMINED... so I whine less!!

TK I'm thinking there is this big circle that starts at Maroo's trip reports - and we just all must follow each other!!


and then plan a Meet!!

raising hands I want one of those shirts

 

[Sandy321]

Hey TK maybe I can help you!! I think I got it figured out!!

I will add, now that I did it once, I know what I did wrong, and how to make them better!!

 

[Sandy321]

WHAT? Did I just "kill" this thread?



Maroo hope you are feeling ok - IF you are - you need to do a 3 1/2 mile walk today! YOU are in training woman!!

By the way - stop by my Pre trip report - I'm planning on a meet for Saturday night - how does Cape May Buffet sound to you? (Dolce doesnt have park hoppers)

 

[maroo]

I am about to post this in about four places...

So if this is a duplicate, please disregard - or pray twice

Lauren - my dear friend with severe CP - has the swine flu. Despite our best efforts to prevent it.

I am very, very nervous about this. We have lost several kids in MS to this flu this year and with her underlying conditions, this can be very serious.

She started Tamiflu last night because William already had it...so that is good.

Please pray for them!!

 

[Sandy321]

Maroo - definate prayers are surrounding Lauren -

the horrific thing with the flu - you have no control, none... talk about feeling helpless...

Let go. Believe. Hear our prayers!

 

[that's nice]

Maroo....

I'm sorry to hear about Lauren. We will pray for her quick recovery!

 

[eandesmom]

Oh Maroo!

Lauren is in my prayers. She is such a special girl!

 

[eyor44]

Praying for Lauren. You be careful that you don't relapse.

 

[tinytreasures]

 

[TarzansKat]

Maroo, my prayers are with you, Lauren, and her family.

 

[All7OfUs]

I know Lauren; she's a fighter and will be fine! Our prayers are with her today!

 

[MeMom]

Thoughts and prayers are with Lauren and all of those who are dealing with this flu all over the country.

You did a great job on the podcast. I enjoyed it very much...all three times I listened!
I started it, but didn't have time to finish, listened to it it later all the way through, then turned it on the next day at school while I was getting morning work ready.

 

[All7OfUs]

I missed a whole ton of stuff back there on the last page- and can I just make a little confession?? You know how good I am at THAT! (If you're lost, visit link in siggie with Steamboat)

I lost this thread for a spell.

That's right! I lost it! For some reason I bookmarked maroo's OTHER one about Lucas' morning, and dropped this one!! I know, it's remarkable!

Some thoughts, to catch myself up...

1. Yes, maroo did introduce TK and I. A blessing to be sure!

2. Dole Whip Floats are the ONLY snack that I can truly rave about in the entire MK. That's the truth, and you can take that to the bank.

3. Tim brings the life to the party, and he's more fun to tease than a pubescent brother whose voice is cracking!

4. We do seem to travel around to each other's reports and have a blast talking pretty much about everything and nothing. (I think someone mentioned that it's mostly to ourselves too-- which is probably partly true )

5. Ummm, I'm afraid I did compare TK's shirts to Dole Whips; and PROUD of it!! They are both very worthy prizes for just about anyone.

6. Jen, you can have both if you don't pull a no-show. TK can make her own shirt and bring it, and I'll buy her a float to make up for the trouble.

7. My fingers are tired; I'm going to eat some chocolate.

 

[eyor44]

Still praying for Lauren (and William) and hoping they are getting better.

 

[maroo]

Update!

It has been a long day. Or two?

Lauren was sick all night...I won't be graphic...but she is SICK.

She is better today, though.

We are very thankful that William got it first and gave us an extra day to give Lauren Tamiflu before she even started showing symptoms. We are very thankful!

She was still running fever this morning. But she slept 15 hours last night and she doesn't have fever right now, which is great!

Keep praying!!!

 

[eandesmom]

for continued no fever. Good news! I will keep her in my prayers.
