Well, I'm still running. I'm up to five miles now. Only 21.2 to go! I added a couple of links to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Team in Training web site and to my personal donation page for the marathon. The Team in Training link gives you facts and a history about the LLS TNT just in case you're interested. If you're not interested, well it still gives all that stuff. You just don't have to look at it. I'm just now sending out my donation request letters so my donation page is looking kind of sad.
Aside from that, not much is going on, but I always seem to be busy. Explain that one. Brett and I are doing a puppet show at church in a couple of weeks. We always seem to wait until the last minute, but it seems to go smoothly anyway. Brett is quite the puppeteer! And he's not a bad cook either. He's going to be a good wife to some lucky woman. Sorry Brett. Didn't mean to step on your mojo.
Cousin Cari's birthday was yesterday. Happy 29th, Cari! Love ya. Mean it. She got to work for her birthday, unlike me who went to Colorado and didn't climb a mountain for mine(that's a whole 'nother story). I went to her class during the Women's Conference last weekend and it was so good. If you ever get the chance to hear her speak (well, in a public venue anyway) you should take it.

Volunteering
Have you ever noticed that there are times in your life when, after years of doing generally nothing, all of the sudden you start volunteering for everything under the sun? I'm at that point. It's overwhelming right now, but starting to become fun. I know that in a few months I'll be so used to it that going back to being lazy is going to be boring. Granted, the occasional "me day" will be required, I'm sure, but for now it's just nice having something to do.
For the next few months I'm going to be doing a lot of running around. Literally. I signed up to run a marathon to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of America. I'm really kind of excited about it even though it means that I'll actually have to...well, run. I'm a softball and volleyball kind of girl. You know, the sports where any running is done in short spurts. Was I content with that? Nooooooooooo!!! I decided that it would be more fun to run 26.2 miles. 26.2 miles!!!!! I didn't realize that that distance was reachable by anything other than car. Okay, I did realize that, but refused to dwell on it. Anyway, it's for a good cause. If you would like to donate money towards my fundraising efforts, I will have a link to the site up after a while.
Other than that, I'm mostly involved in church activities. I used to be that girl at the back of the church who was more than happy to just blend in and not be noticed. Now, it seems that I volunteer (or get volunteered) for just about everything. I'm not complaining. I enjoy it. I just hope it never gets to the point where I hate any of it. I think I would know to back out before it gets to that point. We shall see.
