Soleil 100 Days

You may remember that I had a Bic Soleil Summer Party at my house through House Party that I told you about here. It was a lot of fun and I got to try out and give away some really awesome Bic Soleil Razors.

Well, I have been chosen by House Party to continues through the summer with this party on line! That means I will have a site up where you can go and see the latest Bic 100 Days of Summer promotions and activities going on. My party site is here, and if you are in my emails, you will likely get an invitation to this "online party" shortly.

I wanted to tell that in the Soleil 100 Days: "There are thousands of fun, sharable prizes in the BIC® Soleil® 100 Days of Sunshine promotion. Join now! www.FeelTheSoleil.com"

They also have weekly challenges you can do to get extra "Sunz" (which are like entries in their giveaways). This week's challenge was to take a sunny picture of you and a friend or just you. I posted the picture of me and Wes in Salt Lake that is at the top of this post.

Remember, in the Soleil 100 Days There are thousands of fun, sharable prizes in the BIC® Soleil® 100 Days of Sunshine promotion. Join now! www.FeelTheSoleil.com

Weekend Warriors: Daycations: College World Series

What kind of an Omahan would I be if I did not take the opportunity this Friday to talk about the College World Series?! Since 1950 the College World Series has been held in Omaha and is now a secured tradition in the city. This year is a bittersweet year for die-hard fans as it is the last year it will be held at Rosenblatt Stadium (there is a new stadium being built where it will be held in the future).

That being said, the series officiallly kicks of tonight with a FREE concert wth Country music singers Julianne Hough and Bucky Covington III at the 2010 College World Series Road to Omaha® Jam starting at 6 p.m. Central time. The free family-oriented concert will be in the southeast parking area of Rosenblatt Stadium and is part of a full day of activities that include the Opening Ceremonies inside the stadium starting immediately following the concert.

The reserved tickets have sold out, but it appears you can still purchase general admission tickets, and there is an option for "ticket exchange" available. To read all about these ticket options and everything else going on for the College World Series, please click here.

Cat's Fat Butt Friday Summer Challenge...my sad update...

Photobucket


Well, I am about 2 weeks late in telling you about this, but I thought I would anyway! Cat over at 4 Nuts in a Nutshell is doing a great summer challenge. It is a 120 mile walk or run challenge, and I have decided to take the challenge. After all, we walk to the lake near our house (3 miles round trip) as a family 3-6 times a week, so this should be easy, right?

Well, so far not so much. Yesterday was the end of week 2 and at this point I should be at 20 miles to be on schedule. I fully expected to be ahead of the game. As it turns out, I am behind at a mere 17 miles...dang...

SO, this is where you great readers come in...I need to be held accountable for my walking. So far I have been out of town week 1 and sick most of week 2 which are my excuses for being behind, but excuses will not help me accomplish the challenge. So, I am going to give you an update of my progress each Friday to try to be more accountable and motivated. If anyone is doing this challenge with Cat, or if you want to just jump in and do it as a support to me, you can leave your progress and updates in comments.

Come on, let's get moving!!

Thanks Cat for doing this challenge and getting my butt in gear! And thanks in advance to my readers for helping me stay motivated!

Right now I walked 11 miles this week which brings my total to 17 miles for the challenge overall.
