So I just set up my new blog - seedchallengewalk.blogspot.com - and synched it with Facebook and Twitter. However, it seems when I logged into Twitterfeed, my dashboard was empty.
This is my test post to see if it is still synched to Twitterfeed or not. Last night it was. Hmm...

Bashful Blogging
So I did it. I started a new blog tonight, or more so set up a new blog tonight. I've been meaning to do it for a few months now. I won't release the name nor address yet because I haven't posted.
But it looks pretty! That was the easy part.
I signed up for the MS Challenge Walk Cape Cod in January or February, five years after my sister had been diagnosed with the disease. She has done the walk the last 2 years.
Last year, I went up to the Cape to see and support her walking. It was motivating and exciting. I knew I had to walk with her the following year - this year.
Also, in the two years she has walked, she has not finished the 50 miles. Last year, finishing was all she talked about and it was sad not to see her accomplish this goal. Part of me is certain that she will finish if I am walking next to her.
We have never been close, despite being 2 years apart. Her diagnosis brought us closer, but there is still a lot of room between us.
I hesitate to write my first post for my new blog because we are never the types to put our feelings out there, or get sentimental. Yet, I want this to be a blog I can share with everyone, and use as part of my fundraising for the walk.
We are doing a long walk tomorrow. Perhaps I will post on that (Long Legs?) instead of a first post about why I walk. I hope tomorrow is the catalyst I need ...

Ciao Cheese!
I gave up cheese this year for Lent. My only caveat was I could still eat cheese after Ash Wednesday if I made it in a dish before.
Needless to say Tuesday was a cheese feast. I had nachos, pizza, and straight shredded cheddar. I felt like a feign.
A full day with almost no cheese (I am making my pizza last) I continued to crave it - especially melted, like on my nachos. Something about gooeiness of it all makes my mouth water.
Tonight I went to the grocery store. I had decided that I'd replace my cheese with avocado on my burgers and falafels. The first store didn't have any but I stuck with it and moved onto the next.
The hardest part roaming the stores was passing the cheeses - they're everywhere! Not only could I not scope out the prices of the regular deli cheese, but I also had to force my legs to continue past the cheddar popcorn and cheese crackers.
It's been almost two days. I can't say my cheese cravings have weakened or strengthened, but I have found substitutes. Chocolate chip cookies half dipped in chocolate, chocolate, and chips almost do the job.
Almost. But nothing that I've found yet can replace the oily goo I love smothered over my chips and beans or the cool, rich, solid milk slice that completes my breakfast.
And until I do, it will be a long Lental season for this cheesehead. Ciao cheese! Until we meet again!
