So yesterday was not only my DH birthday, but mother's day as well so I was battling that in the morning. Then this nasty storm decided to roll through all yesterday afternoon, so it ended up taking us 4 hours to get in to eat dinner somewhere with the Fam and get service and get home. We got home at 9 pm and had no lights, and the power stayed out til 1 this morning.

I'm aware I locked the Week Two on accident on Saturday, so thats back up until 5 pm EST today so people can adjust their times. Remember, all of yesterday's exercise needs to go into Week 3.

The badge log thread will probably get updated later this afternoon, simply because I need to catch up on Business Law stuff and prepare for yet another test this evening. So I'm thinking before 5 pm, I should have the majority done. If you don't see your badge today, please don't freak out... its coming.

Other than that, don't forget to weigh in before 11:59 pm EST tonight, otherwise we are forced to use your freebie weeks. I know personally I'm a fan girl of people that weigh in early, so the sooner the better! (and the less you have to worry about later!)

Since we are steadily coming up on Memorial Day weekend (I think Victoria Day is the Canadian equivelent right?) I need to remind you all of the Vacation Freebie Week since this is the first challenge we've tried this.

Q: Is there a way to earn freebie weeks?
A: For this challenge only, since we are in the summer vacation months, you have an oppurtunity to earn a "Vacation Freebie Week". In order to earn this additional freebie week, you must participate in the team chats weekly. These Vacation Freebie Weeks only apply to the Memorial Day Weekend and 4th of July Weekend weigh ins.

Q: How will I know if I've earned a Vacation Freebie Week?
A: If you need to use one, contact a team leader and they should be able to let you know via PM that you've earned a Vacation Freebie Week.

While you already have 2 Freebie Weeks, these are in addition to those two. So, if you think you may need to use a Vacation Freebie Week, please contact your team leader prior to the weigh in.

Canadians: Please be aware that you'll need to notify your team leader sooner than your American counterparts. They need to know you'll be celebrating on the 19th instead of the 26th.

Another Note - You can not take a Vacation Freebie Week for both Victoria Day and Memorial Day. Its either one or the other

The Vacation Freebie Weeks apply to these Weigh Ins Only and can not be transferable or redeemed for a later date if not used:

Victoria Day - May 19th : Applies to Week 4 Weigh In

Memorial Day - May 26th : Applies to Week 5 Weigh In

Please remember you must pm your team leader to redeem the extra freebie weeks because they are based on participation. If we don't get a pm, absence from weigh ins will come from your 2 regular freebie weeks.

The Week 2 thread is getting ready to be locked again.

Didn't get time for badges today, I'll try and get some up tonight and through out the day tomorrow.

But we can also use them for 4th of July, correct? You said this earlier in the post, but then only listed Victoria Day & Memorial Day.

I think she means Memorial day weigh in and 4th of July weigh in. Meaning not the week before or after even if that is when you are taking your vacation.

[chellez]

I'm just addressing the Memorial Day weekend and Victoria Day for right now since they are this month. Another reminder post will be made closer to 4th of July

Ok so I worked on the badges while I was listening to lecture and I got to taragettingthin

I'll probably do the rest tomorrow as I need to go home and eat and workout

I changed this to my daily checklist so my pm box will get a break from multiple questions of the same context.

Legend:
= Stuff that's finished

= In Progress

= Pushed to Tomorrow

Today on the Agenda (5/13/08):

* Get Blue Team's Weigh in Posted -

* Get Blue Team's Weigh In Chart Updated -

The daily checklist is a great idea, Chellez!

Badge Log for Week 2 is done.

Just wanted to make a note that I'm not chasing people to post in the Badge Log thread, so if you didn't get a badge this week because you don't have a post in the badge log thread

I'm going to be out of town from July 4 - July 20, with limited access to computer - so I'm wondering if this has been discussed elsewhere. I may just opt to take a holiday freebie instead of trying to remember to log on when I'm on vacation. Thanks!
