Mrs. Zee Likes Me

And I’ve got an award to prove it! 

 

 

A few weeks back, the marvelous Mrs. Zee bestowed onto me the Best Blog Award which made my day, but the kind words in her e-mail made it even better.

 

In case you didn’t already know how fabulous you are, now you have an award to prove it: Best Blog Award!  This is just my way of saying thanks for making the blog-o-sphere a darned great place to be!

 

Now, it’s my turn to bring a smile to some of my favorite bloggers’ faces.  The conditions of the Best Blog Award state that I must pass this award along to 15 bloggers, so without further ado, (in no particular order) here are my favorite fifteen:

Tuesday Toot!

 

Since my latest achievement fell on a Tuesday, I jumped on the chance to toot my own horn with the help of this meme. 

 

Today, my Beat the Heat Fitness Tips were featured on Go Graham Go!, which is one of Nielsen’s On-line Top 50 Power Mom Blogs.  How awesome is that?

 

THANK YOU to Felicia of Go Graham Go for fitting in my fitness post and spotlighting my blog.

Blogger, Can You Spare a Dime?

With my recent Disney accomplishment, I felt confident to take on the Michelob Ultra Challenge at this year’s Gasparilla Distance Classic.  After running a half marathon and a marathon the next day, I feel prepared enough to take on a mere 5 K, 15 K and a marathon the next day.  After all, it’s hardly a Goofy Challenge

 

Upon registering for the event, I suffered from a bit of sticker shock.

 

Michelob Ultra Challenge Entry Fees (15K, 5K & Marathon):  $160 

 

Are you serious?  It would appear that Jose Gaspar and his scurvy pirates be searching for treasure with those prices!  Arrrr!

 

Crushed by the mere cost of this event while still recovering financially from a very expensive Disney retreat for last weekend’s events, I chose not register for the event.  :-(

 

But then, I cleverly crafted a scheme to help off-set some of the cost for this overpriced race. 

 

 

 Listen, I am a SAHM mom with no income.  I am not above a little panhandling to help offset the cost of this extortionate race.  In the immortal words of TLC, “I ain’t too proud to beg.”

 

So, if find it in your heart to drop a few PayPal payments in my rundmt@tampabay.rr.com tin can (a.k.a my PayPal account), I would be eternally grateful.  To show my gratitude and appreciation for your contribution, I promise to run a better chip time than Disney.

 

Please spread the word around the blogosphere about my panhandling .  Take my tin can bloggie button and pass it along to your blogger friends.  Remember to link back here.  Thanks so much! :-)
