Question of the Week

When was one time you felt like you'd "won the gold"?

Well, even though the world wasn't watching, maybe I felt like I'd won the gold the day I married Pete. Chick Jeanette

I know this will come as a shock to most of you but when I was a sophomore in high school 4 of us qualified for the state track tournament and we won the State H.S. mile relay!!! I also won 3rd in the discus. Back then, it felt like the Olympics to us. Chick Julie

I felt like I won the gold when I was 18 years old. I was crowned Miss Appleton in May and then had one month to prepare for the Miss Wisconsin pageant. I won scholarships, opportunities to be in parades and was even on the front cover of our local newspaper. Memories... Chick Kristin

After I had Lexy. It was a marathon and a half... no drugs, major pitocin, 22 hours of labor and 1 1/2 hours of pushing. She came out and, by God, she was the Gold! Chick Megan

The closest I've ever felt to winning gold was when I got the book contract to write Chicks. That was pretty cool. It was a life-goal I had set for myself (of course, thinking it would never be possible, but thought I'd try anyway), and only in a million years thought I'd really get it. I was thrilled. The second closest I've felt was when Phil scored the winning goal to get Team USA the silver medal. It was dang exciting. Chick Karin

I definitely felt like I won the gold when I gave birth to my first baby, Alaine Irene. I was so scared; not sure if I could do it. I remember feeling so elated -- I actually did it and I did it well! Now that I have two cute babies and just having them in my life makes me feel like I win the gold every day. (Now if I could only get someone in to referee every now and then. It's tough being the coach and the referee at the same time!) Chick Jana

Now for my real bragging! The last three semesters I've been able to maintain a 4.0 GPA while working full-time. I thought I'd better brag now because it looks like this semester I'll be lucky if I get the bronze. also Chick Jana

This question is so easy for me. After 8 auditions, 2 screen tests and a wig, I freaked out when I finally got a contract role on General Hospital. I was boarding a plane up to San Francisco to join my parents up there for a 49er playoff game. I called my agent just before I stepped foot on the plane. She screamed "You got it!"! I was a screaming and crying mess all by myself in the airport, then couldn't wipe the smile off my face the whole flight. Thank God security wasn't what it is today or they would've pulled me aside for a strip search for sure!!!! Chick Cheryl

Simply one answer to his one -- when I met my beloved and best friend, Allen. Yes, he is truly still, after almost 25 years, my best friend and soul mate. He has always given me the chance to do my thing when it comes to work and has at times shouldered most of the home front responsibilities. What other spouse would allow his wife to work in Toronto for a year and a half to follow her dream and then in New York and Japan for another year and a half and not complain? While most of my friends say he's going to heaven on a rocket ship, I think he's eternally standing on the top platform getting his gold medal. Chick Susie

When both of my children were born. The happiest moments that I can remember!! Sounds boring, but it's true. Ok, how about when I won powder puff football my junior and senior year? Or when I won in bingo? See how boring my life is! woohoo!! Chick Lynn

I felt like I had won the Gold when our newly formed investment club (all female) made a bet with a now all male investment club (that we recently split off from) over who was better at picking stocks. After a six month period of investing, we soundly beat the pants off of the guys (literally). To pay off their lost bet, they had to cook and serve dinner to us girls then clean up. For the rest of the evening they had to wait on us hand and foot... completely naked. At midnight they were allowed to put their clothes back on and go home!  Corrine
