Woo Hoo for Wednesday!

2010-08-25

I have decided.

.

You may be wondering what it is exactly that I have decided.  Well, my decision is that from now on: Wednesdays at C.Mom will now be “Woo Hoo for Wednesday.”  On this day each week, I will post about things that make me want to say woo hoo. Some weeks it may be one thing. Other weeks it may be more than one.  But everyone needs to celebrate the Woo Hoo’s in their life every now and then…so here goes!

.

My first woo hoo is for Chris Evert.  I met her in the beginning of August when I went to a BlogHer event sponsored by Hood’s Simply Smart Milk.  Apart from her having been my childhood idol, she is brilliant!  She does work for charities, she supports her children, and she is….oh my goodness, in amazing shape.  Oh and right- she coaches, she has a hospital in her name, and she writes for Tennis magazine.  And now….here is the real woo hoo…. Simply Smart is hosting a contest….a HUGE contest.  (I am going to tell each of you about it so that you can enter, but only if you promise to bring me as your guest if you win!….Seriously people, she was MY idol.) Ok–the contest:

A SimplySmart VIP Tennis weekend with Chrisse!!

The lucky winner will love life as they spend the weekend in Boca Raton, Florida, during Chris Evert’s Pro-Celebrity Tennis Classic. The winner will stay at the Boca Raton Resort and Club, get tickets to a cocktail party and gala, sit in sky box seats watching well known personalities play (tennis!), oh and “hit a few balls” with the one and only Chris Evert.  There is more…almost too many fabulous details to list. Entering is easy, you just have to fill out a form, and voila’, you fate is in the hands of the contest.  The contest runs until September 30, 2010….but don’t wait.  Submit an entry now!

And if all of that wasn’t enough of a Woo Hoo…. I have decided to enroll into a new school…

I have always been my own worst enemy.  I have berated myself about things big and small.  My inner mean girl is even more sarcastic than I am,  she is judgmental, she is a control freak.  She compares herself (me) to everyone around her- looking at how skinny they are, what fast runners they are, how fantastic they are at parenting…anything and everything.  My inner mean girl is probably one of the reasons I don’t sleep all that well anymore. And so…this is it. It is time to show my inner mean girl the door.  I am going to participate in a 40 day challenge, The 40 Day Inner Mean Girl Cleanse, with many other women around the country (world?), learning from experts, about how to be nice.  Presumably I will learn how to be nice to myself….it would not hurt if I was able to work on my outer mean girl as well (yes, I can be mean on the outside to).  By paying attention to 6 topic habits that are weighing me down…I will hopefully come out cleansed and renewed.  And hopefully no longer a mean girl

.

Signing up for the cleanse is free…and starts today, August 25th.  Will you join me?  Or at least give me a Woo Hoo for my efforts?
