Disappointed- No WonderCon for me.

I am unable to volunteer at WonderCon this year. I am so sad. I can't afford to pay for myself and my kids to travel back and forth to San Francisco, plus pay for food and items the kids would want from WonderCon. It sucks, but I know I can always volunteer next year.
  I volunteered last year for the first time and I loved it. I was hoping to start volunteering every year. When my kids get old enough, they can volunteer as well. I had so much fun and enjoyed the crazy costumes. I didn't take very many photos last year. I don't even know where I put those pictures. I got a cool shirt for volunteering and I wear it all the time. Next year I will be there for sure.

I can't wait for Spring

I am so excited! I have registered for Bay to Breakers (May 15th). This is the 100th anniversary too. I don't have the money or time to do a costume this year, but thats okay. All that really matters to me is completing Bay to Breakers. I will be staying in San Francisco that weekend at Ryan's house. he is such a good host. I will also check out the Greater Body Expo on Saturday May 14th. I have never been to the Expo, but always wanted to go. I don't know if I will participate this year in Bring your own big wheel (BYOBW), but I will be going.
 Someone told there is an Aids walk in April at Lake Merritt. I'm going to check that out and see if I can do that too. I still want to do The Warrior Dash in October, but I feel I would need to train for that one. So we'll see if I do it this year or wait till next year because i want to be in good shape for it.

I am still reading and have just been writing it all down on paper. I 'll have to update my book list later this weekend. I have also started trying to learn how to play acoustic guitar through videos on YouTube. I suck! I will have plenty of time to learn more fun stuff now that Lent is here and I have to reduce my social networking. More time for reading, writing, and music. Hhmm sounds a little like school. I am also starting to learn how to meditate and work on my alone time. Working on both at the same time really helps. I have time to focus, relax, and do yoga too. Now that is starting to get warmer I can work on my soon to be garden out back, and finding a volunteer group to work with.

Looking for Adventure

  I have been searching for adventures to add to my Bucket List, which I still have not posted, and I think I found a few to try.

  The first one is Bring Your Own Big Wheel or BYOBW in San Francisco, CA. It is held every Easter. I went last year with Ryan and we loved it. I am thinking I should buy a used big wheel and give it a try. Plus you can dress up in costumes YAY! Here is a video from last years event.

  The next event is called Warrior Dash and it looks AWESOME! So it seems you do a marathon/ obstacle race. I see by the photos you can dress up too. YAY! I think what caught my attention was the fact there was fire to jump over. I thought ooohhh I want to jump over fire. If I do this I will have to start training and preparing my body for it. I'm not all that fit and really need to get in shape. The Warrior Dash would be a great way to get my ass in gear.

  Next is Bay to Breakers in San Francisco. This year is the 100th anniversary so I really want to participate. Virginia and I are planning to go. We are trying to get a group together but we'll see what happens. This event also allows costume woo hoo... I don't know if we'll dress up though.

So that is it for now, and maybe I'll finally post the revised Bucket List for all to see soon.

xoxo,
