YOU GUYS.

My tumblr secret Valentine came and was it ever worth waiting for!!

@melanietris I already adored you for many reasons, but this is just awesome! Thank you so much!! I LOVE it and you! It fits perfectly!! My life has been full of ups and downs, but you know something? I AM fierce, aren’t I?!

The card she sent me with it made me tear up a little you guys! Knowing that I have friends like that across the country that care so much about me without ever even meeting me? That’s pretty awesome!

Thank you Melanie!! I love the chocolate too!
@yoursecretvalentine thanks for organizing this!

pascal73 I knew it was from you!!! Thank you so much! I love the treats and gifts! What an awesome gift! In all fairness, I think it arrived on Friday, but I was out of town until Saturday night for work…so I couldn’t get it from the Post Office until after work yesterday.

Thanks again, Tumblr is the best!

I got my Tumblr Secret Valentine!

Except I don’t know which one of you lovely people actually sent it! I have my suspicions, but I don’t want to be wrong and tag the wrong person in this post!

Mine came from The Netherlands, how freaking cool is that?!

I love the treats, and socks and bear are adorable! Thank you! Now, will someone claim responsibility so I can properly thank you for this?

Monday, you’re kind of awesome

  • Have I told you guys that I have to raise Sponsorship money for the annual conference that my work puts on each fall in November? Well. I do. They set my goal this year at $50,000, which is a pretty significant jump from last year’s total and goal. I was a little bit freaked out. That’s a pretty significant amount of money for one person to be responsible for raising in less than a year.
  • The above GIF is me today, after I secured a $10,000 sponsorship from one organization!!! That’s the first time we’ve had a sponsorship in that amount!! The highest has only ever been $5000. Boom. Drop the Mic.
  • That means, with the others that I’ve secured we’re at $26,000 committed for the year. My goal was to reach that number by July 1st. I’m freaking out! I ran around the office to tell my co-workers, there was a lot of dancing around and jumping up and down involved in my story. It’s a good day.
  • In other news, I didn’t do my long run yesterday. I was so freakin’ tired from this weekend between working and my friend’s 30th birthday party Saturday night that I knew any miles I would try to run would be a struggle and I decided I didn’t need to go down that path.
  • My Tumblr Secret Valentine is waiting for me at the Post Office! I got the above notice in the mail that it is a signature required parcel and I will head there after work to pick it up. Can’t wait!
  • I went to the mall on Valentine’s day and the guys at Complete Nutrition stopped me and managed to get me to try this machine that allegedly measures body fat and whatnot. They signed me up for a drawing but evidently, Dylan (the guy helping me) really wants my business! He sent me a card telling me how nice it was to meet me and that he couldn’t run as much as I do, and that they have some nice products that I should look into. He also included his cell phone number. Thanks for trying dude, not bloody likely.

Anywho, I hope you’re all having a great Monday Cats! I’m in a pretty fantastic mood! 🙂
