Starting to freak

I have no idea how I will pay my bills after June 30th. Will I have health insurance? Should I just apply to Wal-Mart now?

Productivity

Accomplished a bunch of things this weekend. Ironed on the Superhero logos the kids at work designed for their t-shirts (8 of them), made a sea shell wreath from an idea I got at the Christmas Tree Shops, while I had the glue gun out, I repaired a Christmas ornament that had gotten busted, did three loads of laundry (have yet to put it away), sorted three boxes of books for Dad to take to a garage sale, typed a couple pages of some writing. I finished two books: Percy Jackson and the Olympians - The Lightning Thief and Symptoms of Withdrawl by Christopher Kennedy Lawford, put a ton of laundry from last week away, did dishes (have more of those to do), cleaned out the refridgerator, and organized some bookshelves.

Go me!

I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.

So, as part of my crazy plot for turning 35, I decided to walk a 5K with a good friend of mine to raise money for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and do something healthy for me. A total win-win.

As part of the training, I was required to raise $500. The deadline is May 24th. I was starting to panic but after a mass email to everyone in my address book, and pleas on Facebook, I have surpassed my $500 goal!!!!

It amazes me the people who contributed, friends from Kindergarten, my family, high school, work collegues, my Boston friends that I pilfered from my cousin. It's a nice feeling to be supported in something so important.

I cannot than them enough.

Getting there. Stuck at the moment trying to make a situation plausible. Yanks beat the Mets, Phillies beat the Sox but the Twins are kicking Brewer Ass.

Thank the Yankees/Red Sox for those few hundred words. I decided to type some thoughts I had on this story in my journal. Go Sox! Thought for a while there that it was a repeat of yesterday's game. But this time Paplebon held on. Poor Mo thought.

Now it is totally past my bedtime.

Guess I have stalled out a bit. In my defense, I was out of town with my sisters and my mom, note the rant on my sister driving me crazy. It was a good weekend though. I got more reading finished on "The Happiness Project" but Gretchen Rubin. I am almost finished with "Symptoms of Withdrawl" by Christopher Kennedy Lawson. I did finish "Percy Jackson and the Olympians - The Lightning Thief." I liked it, although I saw many similarities to the Harry Potter series (not nearly as annoying as all the similarities between the "Twilight Saga" and the series "True Blood" Series, it was a quick read with lots of action. I liked all the references to Greek Mythology, I vaguely remember reading some of it back in school.

I like children's literature, so sue me. It was nice to see in "The Happiness Project" that I am not the only one. I have read the Princess Diary Series, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, anything by Mike Lupica, The Twilight Saga, anything by S. E. Hinton, and classics like Little Women (series), and Anne of Green Gables (series).
