Race for the Cure 2010

We just finished the Race for the Cure for the 5th year in a row.  It is a really emotional day for me.  I miss my friend Wendi who died from this awful disease 2 1/2 years ago.  It is great to be able to walk with her family.  I love being able to see all of the funny team names that people come up with.  Some of my favorites are "Save second base", "Breast friends", "Breast Jordan Buddies", "The rack pack" and "Bookin for boobies". 

My visit to New Mexico

I just got back from a fun 4 day trip to New Mexico. (Which I learned while riding in the airport shuttle bus is the "Land of enchantment").  For my birthday my friend Rick took me down to his mom's house for a long relaxing weekend.  She lives in the middle of nowhere in southern New Mexico.  I was expecting desert, but she lives up in the mountains.  It was beautiful.   It was so nice to relax and not have any responsibilities.  I was able to read, watch movies, take naps, go for walks, see a bazillion stars and I even learned how to play poker which is his mom's favorite game.  I thought it was really fun and I even won a few times. On our flight down there we were bumped up to first class which was way cool and then we rented a mustang convertible which was even cooler!  It had such a great time, but it always nice to come home.  My kids even missed me and made me this sign.
