And you are welcome. You are lucky I married Brendan so you two could meet.

Getting political…

Posted in health, Politics on February 5th, 2012 by Elizabeth – 2 Comments

just for a moment – I am my grandmother’s granddaughter.

Breast cancer affects all women – no matter of race, income, religion and most importantly political beliefs.  Therefore, I believe, that cancer screenings should be above it all – equal access no matter of race, income, religion and political beliefs.  We should be working to make screenings available through ANY method – mobile mammogram vans, hospitals and clinics – even Planned Parenthood.  Non-profits raising money to help find a cure and increase survivorship – should do only that and not be involved in other social debates going on in the country.

An interesting read here – non profits should be non profits and not a corporation.  And this is why my money will be going to organizations like Stupid Cancer or I had Cancer – not just because of Susan G. Komen’s recent acts but because a) cancer is stupid and b) I did have cancer.

Ok – getting off the soapbox.

New year, new resolutions

Posted in Boston-area, Holidays on January 1st, 2012 by Elizabeth – 2 Comments

My new year’s resolution is to run one race per month and Brendan has adopted this one as well. But I can’t complain since I took a co worker’s new year resolution to run a 5k in 2011 and modified it. (she fulfilled it on December 18th when we ran the Yulefest Cambridge 5k.)

We started the resolution off with a new year’s day 5k with optional ocean plunge. Brendan and I both ran much better than expected. We ran so well we both took the plunge.  Here is the first picture.  1 down, 11 to go.

Quick update

Le Marche de Noel was all I hoped for and more. We left Strasbourg after a great few days and we are currently sitting at a cafe on the Boulevard st. Germain waiting for the rain to stop and drinking some coffees. I can’t post pictures right now but they will be coming.

Countdown to France

We leave Friday and so excited. I hope my United name change comes in time so we can get into the fancy lounges!!

We are going to Strasbourg and Paris and I am very very very very excited to go to my Marche de Noel. I have I mentioned I am excited?

Waking to the T

When I leave the house in the morning I look back and nothing is in the window. When I leave and walk to the T with B, this is what we see when we look back.
