Walk to End Lupus Now April 2013

On 27 April 2013, my team will be walking in the Walk to End Lupus Now in Washington, DC.  This is my first walk to support Lupus Research.  The response has been fabulous and better than I expected.  I have 17 teammates and we are almost at our team goal of $500 total donations.  I am being sponsored by the Green Turtle @ Arundel Mills who donated $100 for team t-shirts.  They are also going to have a donation night at the restaurant for me where I get 10% of profits to donate to a charity of my choice.  It feels good to be involved and to give back in hopes of progress for Lupus patients.

Please visit my page and share with everyone you know!

Kicking a Cold

So when you have lupus it is really hard to get rid of illnesses like a cold.  Its been a week and I am still sick.  I am so tired of being sick.  Went to the doc who said it is an ear infection too.  Geez.  Im on more meds but Im not sure they are working yet.

Hooray for my almost birthday!  The big 29! This year I am in desperate need of smaller clothes.  Ive lost almost 80 lbs this year and 8 pant sizes!  Hope I can keep it off.

Today's Blessing: Weekends

Decorating is Fun

Getting ready to make a trip to Kohls. It is so nice to pick out new things for the new house.  Feels fresh and clean.  Like starting over.

Met the neighbors yesterday.  Its like a mix of pleasantville and stepford wives.  Should be interesting.  They are so friendly.  Lots of them had family here too.  I wish we could wear our flaws on our shirts so I know who to steer clear of.  Like "nosey", "loud", "rude"...

Gonna be another busy day!

Today's Blessing:  help from family

We Bought a House

Today we settled on our new house.  What a good feeling to have a place to call home.  I am grateful.

This weekend should be great.  All that cleaning.  Stuff will be delivered on Wed so everything needs to be ready then.

How exciting!
