center of the universe..."



work trip for less than 72 hours to meet with clients, and our ny offices

had a beautiful lunch with some lovely ladies from a publishing company
restaurant was called spice market i think.
YUM!

and really, these ladies are awesome awesome awesome. i had a wonderful lunch with them


then, while i was in chelsea market, i "accidentally" found:
fat witch brownies!
deeee-lish
(i enjoyed the one with dried cherries. hubby liked the mint chocolate and caramel ones i brought home or him)



i stayed with my friend c
while planning on meeting my sister for lunch the next day, i put out the subway map...
and what do you know but good ole' kitty said, "no! you shall not look at manhattan!" and laid right on top of the island.


i gave up and looked it up the next day because i know my place and i know his place and his place was on manhattan
and on my bed

lunch with my lil sis (though she's waaay taller than me)

are we there yet?


3 day walk for the cure: susan g komen
20 miles a day
3 days in a row
60 miles to find the cure for breast cancer



countdown

thurs night my friend c and i were in a hotel for one last night in a comfy bed (or so we thought) before braving the camping on the beach.

and what is a road trip south without passing by our fav place to eat:

and my teammate:
waffleface



day 1

opening ceremony started at some ungodly hour like 6am, and the shuttle to the start was at 445am.
so with our bags in tow, and just a bit sleepy, we began with opening ceremony



there was a wall to write your goals. here is my friend placing her goal on the wall.


and a furry friend to support the walkers

and we're walking


rest stop number 2



making friends with the local police



finally, we arrive at camp to meet some lovely girl scouts who set up our tent as we retrieve our things
camp is on the beach







day 2
rain, rain, go away....

but it didn't


and we were drenched

finally going back to camp, we found our tent wet. very very wet. (and most of our belongings wet)
and decided to pack it up for the last night after hearing reports of another heavy shower headed our way.
and of course as we're getting ready to leave camp...


beautiful


day 3

amazing start



the front of the line


with the weather improving we passed by a man dressed up as a gorilla passing out bananas
and our first rest stop had wonderful beautiful delightful people giving us small cups of starbucks coffee and girl scouts handing out thin mints... HEAVEN


lot of oranges to prevent my fear of scurvy ;)


and some friends we met along the way
the melon men

you know who he is

cheerleaders

the men and women on motorbikes were our crossing guards and they certainly dressed up for the occasion




and finally closing ceremony- with our new t's


getting ready for the parade

what a night
a tribute to the survivors and the friends we've lost


hubby, and friends a and t met us at the end where we promptly decided to drink and eat some wonderful greasy food at the nearby chili's.

thanks to all that donated and gave us their support. it was an amazing experience.
