She's Fumin' Mad About Breast Cancer!

Have you ever gone back looking through photographs and noticed something that you didn't see before?  Maybe something in the background, or foreground, something funny, weird, or embarrassing?

This photo was taken by Cheri at the end of our 60 mile walk to end breast cancer.  Triumph reverberated through the cheering crowd.  Onlookers and walkers alike cried and hugged and cheered and laughed, all at once.  Cheri snapped this picture just as we crossed the "finish" line; a moment I will always remember. 


Just look at me and my team!  Especially Jacque, in the front.  You can't get any cheerier than that.


However, not everyone was as thrilled as we were.


Even after the whole emotional and physical experience that is the 3-Day For a Cure, it seems that the lady behind me was still feeling really, well, really pissed off about breast cancer.


Or maybe she was stalking me.  Following me the whole time, lurking in the background behind bushes and  porta potties, waiting for her chance to....to....what?  And just as she was about to close in on me...someone decided they would take a picture, foiling her in her tracks.


Well, she lost her chance.  She'll have to find me again next year.  Or maybe it's Cheri that she's mad at.  After all, she's staring right at her here.


I'm mad about breast cancer, too, honey.  Fumin' mad.

Poor thing...I feel sorry for her. I probably have a million photos of me out there on other people's cameras...making horrible faces, bending over exposing my trickling rolls, scratching my butt...

Funny thing, I actually had noticed the woman who was to the right (your left) of your elbow.

I think the lady behind you had sore feet. Very. Sore. Feet. And/Or I snapped the picture just as she was about to cry the ugly tears, but tears of joy.

I'm just so darned blessed to have been there to watch you and your amazing team walk across the finish line. Just looking at this picture again has me all choked up.

Okay . . . I'm heading down to the hotel pool to fight off the chickens and roosters for a lounge chair. I'm not making this up. I put a link to a Wall Street Journal article on my FB page, or Google "chickens and roosters and Kauai" to see what I'm talking about. OMG. Chickens are running this place. It is awesome.

Tracey Axnick said...

Now THAT is hilarious! I hope she stumbles across your blog and sees this picture!

Come on over to my blog.... I want to hear about your New Years resolutions/goals for 2011!

The Gaelic Wife said...

Another possibility -- maybe she was remembering her [fill in the blank] whom she lost to breast cancer. Or was thinking that, due to her own grim diagnosis, this might be her last year for the Walk.

Grand Pooba said...

Ha! I love that pic!

I think you are awesome. Awesome and stylish! (It'll make sense when you come pick up your award on the old neglected blog of mine!)

Busy Bee Suz said...

Oh my gosh....that is awesome!!!!

Mellodee said...

It looks to me that she is trying not to cry. Given the goal of the walk, I would think she was thinking of someone she lost to BC and was not in a mood to celebrate. She looks so unhappy! Poor thing....

Kelley with Amy's Angels said...

This has given me an idea for photos for next year's walk! Make scrunched up faces at the end of the walk and say "we're fumin' mad!!" ha!

Cheeseboy said...

Holy crap. I would NOT want to be breast cancer around that lady! Funny that you caught her.

JCK said...

She doesn't even look real. IS she real? :) Huge congrats again, Jason!

XOXO for the New Year!

Ron said...

Looks to me like she had to go to the bathroom and was holding it in. Good catch!

Sarahf said...

Too funny!! I'm going to be looking for comedy people in the background all the time now!!

MOM #1 said...

Maybe she had to pee. 60 miles is a long way to walk when you have to pee!

jlo said...

Looks like Denise.

BeautifulWreck said...

Maybe her face is permanently like that.

Kate said...

Great photo bomb! Maybe it's Amelia Earhart.

Karen said...

hehe She looks emotional to me... like she's fighting back tears. Some people tend to look like they're frowning when they're trying to keep from crying... just sayin' hehe

Ron said...

My best to you this new year Jason!

Pumpkin Delight said...

or maybe she didn't want her picture taken.

Maria said...

Naw...she is holding back tears...

Serena said...
