Socially Inclined

Today (Monday) was a bust. A day completely wasted on rest, and spectating. However, I came up with a rather inspiring idea to raise money for the Redemption Climb!! It all began around 3pm this afternoon, when I awoke to a chocolate Easter egg waiting at my door. It occurred to me that I have all the resources to get custom chocolate bars made, and sell them! Or maybe not even just chocolate bars, but actual custom made sweets that people will be unable to resist. I spoke with three people this weekend about putting together a large event, and three smaller more intimate events, involving live music and prizes. This weekend was moderately successful when it comes to the list.
I will continue to work on accomplishing the following:

* Horse
* Run
* Blog
* Jump rope
* Kayak
* Art supplies




In chatting with key people this weekend, I am fully confident to keep forging ahead. I did not get to see the real Easter bunny exactly, however I did see rabbit on the menu at brunch, certainly tried it. I feel the meat was far too dry to rate, or even compare, to any other holiday mascot such as the beloved turkey on Thanks Giving! Ham will still always be the meat chosen for Easter, however did not have any this year. (odd) Aunt Michelle was bunny brave spreading Easter joy, wishing everyone a superb holiday!
Friday, I went diving with Ann. It was a great bonding adventure, we decided to go for a dive, however little did we know there were going to be jelly fish! I got stung on my right arm, back, left side, left knee, and right foot twice! Thankfully I am not allergic, but it sure did make for an interesting day. Beautiful dive after I got some skins on, but here's a picture before we went in the first time with our lion fish nets!!



Following the first encounter with the jellies, we bolted back to Eden Rock for a wet suit for me!! Thankfully the second dive attempt was successful, only two more stings, and not quite as many jellies were spotted!

Current today, (Wednesday) I trained for the 800m Lime Sea Swim this Saturday! Super excited!! Last year I did the CUC 800m, the Flowers one mile, and the CISA Tri with the 750m. Hope to get under 30min this weekend, we shall see. Feeling strong, will be going for a good run tomorrow to dispense the adrenaline I built up tonight- hopefully followed by some salsa! I've been doing "mega reading loads," laundering my brain. Submerged in Kenya, Tanzania, and the simplistic approach to the complexions for writer's who dare to write for children.

The next list follows tomorrow:

* 10k loop Run
* 800m Swim
* DMV- see Jason
* Contact Attic & Office
* Link up with Emma hopefully this weekend to get the ball rolling on events!
* Speak with Fiona again about travels, and contacting airlines for luggage sponsorships.
* Fed-Ex, check yellow pages for off island freight/airmail costs.
* Think about Redemption Climb 2010 t-shirts, talk to Luigi
* Candy idea/plan, talk to Doug
* Get supplies
* Kayak

Easter weekend campfire, dance on the beach a ton!!! (check!!!)
