Book Club Tuesday - Chasing Harry Winston

My current read/listen (I say read/listen because I am now getting both the tapes and the book so I can read at night...baby permitting) is Chasing Harry Winston by Lauren Weisberger. She was the author of Devil Wears Prada. It's one of those books that attempts the Sex in the City sort of thing... 3 girlfriends, relationship issues, career issues, understanding who they are issues, etc., etc. It wan't bad... but I am not telling you to go out and get it today!

The Breast Cancer 3-Day

This August, I'll be participating in a very special and powerful event in the fight against breast cancer. It's called the Breast Cancer 3-Day and I'd like to tell you about it.

It's a 60-mile walk over three days to raise money for breast cancer. The net proceeds will support the combined efforts of Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust (NPT) Breast Cancer Fund in their mission to fund access to care and find a cure for breast cancer. I'll be serving as a crew member on the "GAL (Garden Avenue Ladies) Pals" team, giving my all in service to the walkers for three days.

I've decided to raise $2,300 in donations. But I need your help. Would you please consider making a fully tax-deductible donation of any amount to help me meet my goal? Follow the link below to visit my personal fundraising webpage and make a donation.

This year, according to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, more than 200,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer. About 40,000 will die from the disease. That's why I'm doing this - to do something bold about breast cancer.

I hope that you'll share this incredible adventure with me - by supporting my fundraising efforts. Thank you in advance for your generosity!

Best, Randi

Eli likes to ride around the house in his diaper box. We tied a belt of Nick's at the end and pull him around the house... he couldn't be more thrilled. We threw his shades on as the sun would get in his on in some of the rooms... and he just looks so cute in them!

Book Club Tuesday - The Lovely Bones

My reading list has grown quite extensively. While my evenings are consumed with family time, working out and getting ready for the next day... I started doing "Books on tape/CD" for my commutes! LOVE IT! I am now looking forward to my drives and I am also not talking on my phone during my drive (something my mother does not approve of). Anyway, this week I have been listening to The Lovely Bones... it is a great story. I won't give too much of the details away, but the story is about a teenage girl in the 1970s who is murdered. She tells the story of her death and events leading up to it and following it. That is all I will say... if you haven't read/listened to it... I highly recommend it! It would make for a great movie!
