Tenting Status: Not Tenting

We are a mere 29 days out, and the good folks at Avon encourage us to go ahead and REGISTER for the walk. Can you believe it? No longer is the walk just a gleam in our eye, or a splint in our shin, it's becoming a reality!

I figured registering would take 15 or so minutes, not so much. In a mere 3 I was registered and ready to walk! I had to answer medical questions "Have you had surgery or hospital visits in the last 6 months? Please explain." "No." "Do you have any of the following conditions...." "No." Healthy as a horse. (Not Barbaro) Then there was the long scroll down part about legal stuff - snooze fest. "I agree." "I agree." "I agree." I'm registered! My walk number and other goodies will arrive at my house in a week so I don't have to mingle with the other walkers on Race Eve. We have big plans to carb up and get in bed EARLY, so skipping a massive sign up is my cup of tea. Or bowl of pasta.

I then discovered the MOST important part -tent registration. There was a section for you to enter who you'd like to tent with.  This is where I'd say "Cousin Tracy" if we were going that route, but you remember we are not. Another option is to select a RANDOM tentee. Can you imagine how horrible that could be? When I did the 72 hour Get out the Vote push for the 2006 elections my roommate at the glamorous Best Western in Warner Robins, Georgia was an older lady who smelled like my grandmother and carried her make up in a Caboodle.  I do not have the best of luck with these things. 



"Not tenting."

Click. Done. Check to make sure it says no tent for this gal. Yep. Registered!

We're doing our part - registering, training, fundraising - have you done yours? It's never too late to donate! Links to the right! Thanks!
