Christa – I know you've already gotten a ton of advice on race apparel, but I think the most important thing is comfort. You could always hang a lime green ribbon from your waistpack or something to make sure we all spot you from a distance. Don’t worry, though, I am sure we will all recognize your smile!
Minnie – Great find on the kayanos. It’s funny, I still always have this sense of longing when someone mentions kayanos. I really wanted them to fit for me and be “THE” shoe, but they weren’t, and I am doing yet another race in my boats/slippers. I am so glad you were able to get such a great buy.
Denny – OMG! Thank God you are okay (relatively speaking). I have no advice to give on this week’s workouts, but just wanted to wish you the best as you count down the final days to the race.
To everyone else who is trying to get healthy for the weekend, I am sending
and 
: I am really suffering with sinus pain of migraine proportions. And the flu like symptoms from NYE have hung on in the form of stomach cramping, totally unrelated to anything I am doing or eating or drinking. I am being totally optimistic that by the time we get on the plane Friday a.m. I will be feeling 100%.
My main concern right now is getting Howard to hydrate. I got him to confess this morning that pretty much the only water he drank yesterday was what he used to take his morning pills. So, the key word of the week in my house is "HYDRATE".
I am at work through Thursday. In between now and when we get on the plane, we have to
1. get Jenn back to campus;
2. get Andy's stuff ironed and packed for when he moves to a friend's house Monday after school (he wears a uniform to school and needs his shirts & pants ironed);
3. get the rest of the Christmas stuff (including the spode) put away;
4. get the house cleaned up for our "adopted daughter" who is coming Thursday to stay with andy until he leaves for school Monday;
5. go grocery shopping;
6. get to the bank;
7. finalize details for rides to all-state practice Saturday and a play audition Sunday night for Andy;
8. finalize details for the pet sitter for next week;
9. medical authorizations for andy and the dog; and
10. PACK
Geez, I feel like such a slouch being at work. There are so many other things to be done. Thank God Howard took care of most of the decorations and cleaning yesterday and is dealing with a lot of the other details. Not having the energy to work out is driving me crazy, but I also know if I were trying to squeeze that in now, too, I'd completely wipe out.
Take care this week, everyone. We are in the home stretch. The FINISH line is within our reach now!

) are too grouchy, we will just return to POFQ after the expo. I hope to see you all, though
I can't wait to see you guys
Oh well, that's life, I guess. I'm feeling much better now, and I'm happy to report I didn't throw anyone in the lake. Although as much whining as I did when I figured out I had a cold, I think Krista would have loved to throw me in the lake, but fortunately, there are no large bodies of water near our house.
