TEAM 2 - Buzz's Brigade, Intros, etc

[NYcpa]

I also like the Buzz logo. I have not done the introduction yet but will try to get it done tonight. Have to figure out a picture to use.

 

[aldisneygrl]

I vote for the Buzz name purely based on that cool logo!

Ok, I can't find a decent picture, but I am going to do my intro. "pictureless".

My name is Sandi, although I have the nickname of Allie on these boards. I belong to a "chat" thread on the WISH board called the Disappearing Peeps. Well there is another DISer named Sandy321 (and she is in this competition too), so to keep us straight I adopted the nickname of Allie. Feel free to call me either one.

I am 39, and am a SAHM. I have been married to DH for almost 19 years. I work part time at my church's preschool. I work 4 hours a day, 3 days a week. I am a helper, so basically I help take the kids potty, help put crafts together, help when we put on parties, and basically whatever the director decides I need to do. I love it! I volunteer at my kid's school. I have a 14 yo (almost 15 ) son, and a 9 1/2 you daughter. She ran (actually we walked) the 5K with me this year. I did a "girls only" trip in honor of my 40th birthday. We had a great time! Hey Anne do you have any pictures of me and my daughter from the 5K? (maybe I'll get a picture after all)

Anyway, I started running in August of last year. I used the Couch to 5K running plan. Well, I ran my first 5K two weeks after starting training. I ran it with a good friend of mine from church. Well, she made me run about 80% of it. I did it in 38 minutes! It about killed me! I have given birth without drugs, and that race was so much harder! It planted a seed though. I wanted MORE! Well, I convinced my DH to let me and DD do the 5K in Disney, and have a little trip to go with it. I ran another Halloween 5K with DD for our training, and we did well. Although, I took my son to a Halloween party that night, and in a freak accident, his 300 lb. former hockey coach, fell on my knee! I was out of training for a while. Went to the Ortho. dr. and he said everything was fine, but I did have some arthritis in that knee. Well, I finally broke down and went to the running shoe store the Friday before the race and bought me some shiney new Asics Gel Kayano's! They are fabulous! They did their job! My DD and I finished the 5K in 58:30!

I am really new to the WISH board. I went to the Pop WISH meet, and met a lot of folks. (and I can't remember most of their names, sorry ) I do remember Anne though! She was so sweet to share her goodies with me and my daughter.

Oh, and I talk a lot, can ya' tell? And I also love the little smilies. I just hate the 25 limit! I am so excited to be a part of this team. The one thing I found out is that this group is very welcoming! I need this to keep me going in my running journey. I never thought I would be a runner, because any time I tried in the past I got so winded, but with the C25K program, I am determined to move on to bigger and better things! (ok, now that was a run-on sentence )



Let's go Buzz's Brigade! To Infinity and Beyond!

 

[goofyinohio]

I put Space Rangers picture in my signature and I must say I really like it. I haven't tried the darker version yet, but it's very cool as well.

Kathy,

Should we put up a poll or something to get an official vote on our team name?

I've jumped back in forth from People Movers to Fast Passers to Buzz's Brigade.

 

[windwalker]

Ok team 2 are we decided? Is it Buzz's Brigade, To Infinity and Beyond?

Can I post it on the roster?

Visiting Panda

 

[aldisneygrl]

Stupid double post!

 

[aldisneygrl]

Ooohhh Chris that looks good in your siggy!

Visiting Panda, I don't think we have had a formal vote yet, but I think people are leaning that way.

 

[MiniGirl]

Chris, Thanks for puting it in your signature. I like the logo, but was wondering how well it would reduce. The "moving" is a little fuzzy but still readable. We could also change it to "Buzz Brigade" if "Buzz's" seems like too much.

I'm really fine with anything we decide. I'm just one to "refine" things over and over again. I never know when to stop. It's a sickness really, so feel free to stay, "Stop it already." I won't be offended.

I have PM'd Our missing team members to get them in here... and vote.... So.. we will make it official by tomorrow!

If anyone "sees" our MIA team members.. make em come on into the thread!!

BUT, with that being said.. John.. it seems your graphics have swayed our preference

THank you to all the team members who are sooooo talented and creative in making our siggy ideas!! WOW.. How do you do that?????

Well... I had my first round of Annie auditions last night and had 50 people show up... and THAT was supposedly going to be my slow night!!!
I can't imagine what is going to happen tonight and tomorrow!!!!

So.. I will get zippo.. zero.... nada... mileage in these next few days.. THANK goodness I planned the auditions this way!! LOL!!! Oh.. and btw.. I am counting my Tap Dancing!!!

Okay.. Back to work!!!

Thanks for being such a wonderful Team!!

Kathy

 

[Space Ranger]

If we are going with Buzz do I need to change anything on the logo.

I will redo it tonight when I get home to make the letter more crisp on a signature sized graphic.

Unless I can sneek doing it at work

 

[aldisneygrl]

It was mentioned the maybe change it to Buzz Brigade instead of Buzz's Brigade. Personally, I don't care either way. Also, it is kind of hard to see the word "Moving" when it is shrunk down. See what you can do, and post again, and I guess we will vote. Thanks for all your work. You are WAY more talented than me!

Hi, everyone! I am sorry I have been MIA. Kathy -- thank you for the very sweet PM! I am sorry to have worried you. Long story short, the week leading up to marathon weekend, it looked like a potential new client wouldn't deal with anyone at my firm but me and was planning an emergency proceeding, so my trip was looking iff-y for a few minutes. Fortunately, they waited until I got back and the retention was finalized this past Friday night at 8:15. Since then, I have been working non-stop, including all weekend and 16 hours in the office yesterday. I am hoping it will slow down, but have very limited Cam-time right now. I did get to the gym for an hour friday night and another hour sunday night -- I NEEDED to decompress and I will continue to carve out the time, even if it means being at the gym at 5:30 am, so I won't let my teammates down. I promise!

After that not so short "apology", I'd like to chime in on the very awesome designs John made. John, you are the bomb!!!! I am so happy to be with my WISH teammates on any endeavor that I will go by whatever name we choose, and very gladly. But I have to say the graphics for fast passers AND for buzz brigade are pretty darn awesome!! Geez, am I waffling? or what? SO fried! :

Back later for an intro and all that good stuff. But I have to go find some breakfast. Yes, it's been that bad a morning!

 

[Valentine]

YAY!!! Cam is here!!! Now all is right with the world!! We are a COMPLETE Team!! Whoo Hoo.. Let the games begin!!

Okay... I have heard from all... and by my count, it seems that the overwhelming decision is for Buzz's Brigade (John, I think your WAY COOL design put it over the top.. We do like our Eye Candy!)

Co-Captains... do you concur???

[WDWFAN9]

Sounds good to me! I am anxious to get started!

 

[goofyinohio]

Sounds great to me.

Moving to Infinity and BEYOND!!!!

 

[Valentine]

Okay.. the Aye's have it... Okay John.. get to work on finessing that Clippie!!!

Team 2 is officially, Buzz's Brigade... To Infinity & Beyond

Do we have a cracking the whip smilie??? Hmmmm.. maybe we can make that too... and the whip should, of course, be a licorice whip!!

 

[MiniGirl]

Sounds good, but I better get moving. Wogging to infinity and beyond is really going to take some time.

I agree the clippie is very cool and actually it was Space Ranger's screen name that inspired the team name. Sorry, I bad with names but will get better I promise.

 

[CynthiaCindy]

Hi all. I do like the graphic and the team name sounds good to me.

I promise to post a longer bio in a bit, but am having another really long day at work (although not as long as Cam - I now feel bad for complaining about my 14 hour day), but I will give a brief bio now.

I just turned 30 a little over a week ago and have been running since Oct. 2006. I ran my first marathon (Marine Corps) in Oct. 2007. It was never my intention to run a marathon so quickly after starting running, but one race just seemed to lead to another. You can see in my signature what I've got planed coming up and DH and I just decided about 10 minutes ago to register for Goofy in 2009!

More later - I'm going to go register for Goofy now (and I wonder why I never get out of work until late)!

 

[aldisneygrl]

WAHOOO!!!! We're no longer nameless!!!! Now let's go kick some butt!

BTW, someone will have to help me get that pic smaller to go in my siggy. Pretty please!

 

[Space Ranger]

Here are two choices for a Signature icon. One smaller and one larger. Please let me know what you think.

Thanks
John

 

[aldisneygrl]

I like it! How does it look?
