The main reason for being away for awhile has been work. We just launched a cancer program for our employees. Part of this meant partnering with LIVESTRONG, which was an obvious partnership for Nike, and creating a program that consisted of 3 ways to get resources and support for anyone touched by Cancer... on the web, through the phone and LIVESTRONG SurvivorCare network, and creating a resource room in the Wellness Center. In the process I was fortunate enough to present my case to the CEO, Mark Parker. What a wonderful man, one of my greatest times here at Nike was to meet with him and bring this program to life and of course seeing everyone pitch in to evolve the program in just 3 short weeks.
Below are a few pics of the actual space. We kicked the program off on 10/2, LIVESTRONG day, we filled 6 rolling walls with tribute cards employees filled out during the week, it was so touching to see what everyone wrote and how cancer has affected everyone.
Ok, moving on....In the midst of my crazy work hours I had signed up for a Quilt class. It was alot of fun and I think I like quilting, although I'm not hooked. Reason...you have to hand bind the border?! WTH?! I'm not a huge fan of that process, it just takes too long. I made a small square, and I still haven't picked the needle and thread up to finish it, I can't imagine doing a huge quilt. BUT, I did love putting the fabrics together and seeing how it all works itself out.
We had a weekend trip to Reno during my time away from you all. It was better than expected. The downtown, well lets not go there, lets spend a minute to talk about the good things. The suburbs are cool, lots of hiking/walking trails and tons of people on their bikes. We ate at some fabulous restaurants, and had good champers (thats champagne folks). It was nice to get away with the inlaws (who are moving there) and with hubby sans Davis.
Last but not least, I'm on the hunt for brown boots. I'd love to wear them on the outside of my jeans like all the cute girls do. I bought 2 pair the other night and need to decide if I should keep them or just keep searching....friends I need your help.
Let me start by saying I love honesty, it doesn't hurt my feelings. So there you have it, be honest and tell me which of these two look good, or if they don't give me some suggestions on others to try. This style might not even look good on me, because I'm short, and I can accept that. Ohh and why the heck do my skinny jeans bag at my knees?! WTH?
* side note, B thinks I'm officially crazy "why are you taking pictures of your shoes?" *Next post is 100!!! Giveaway time!
