Hi all,
I've posted this before, but I'm posting again because it's important. I have my own Relay for Life team this year. If you guys don't know... I lost my dad to Esophageal Cancer April 2008. He couldn't fight the disease so I'm fighting for him. I'm trying to raise as much money as possible.
Please visit MY PERSONAL PAGE to read about my reason to Relay.
Any help you can give is appreciated. You can make a secure donation via my personal page or send it via snail mail if that is easier. I am grateful for anything you are able to give.

Thank you all. |

Hi all,
As some of you may or may not know... my dad passed away from esophageal cancer April 2008.
This year, I have a Relay for Life team and I'm looking to get a team goal of at least $2,000.
If anyone could help out.. even a little bit.. I would be eternally grateful! Help me fight the good fight!
Check out my personal Relay page HERE and see why I'm doing what I'm doing.
Here's the last picture taken of my dad and myself.
Thank you in advance for anything you can do. |

In 8 short hours I will be en route to my vacation dream land. I hope you miss me over the next 10 days.. It is a much-needed break from my life and my issues.
Paradise, here I come...

( more cruise photos here )
The cruise went out of Rhode Island and under the Newport Bridge and turned around and came back. There were like, 30 of us that went. They fed us dinner and dessert then had a live band play. They played a lot of 70's funk type of music. A lot of the songs I didn't know-- but you bet your ass I danced to "Brick House" and "Superfreak" haha.
I got home at like, 12:30 and had to work this morning. I've been home alone all afternoon and all night. I've gotten some cleaning done, which makes me feel at least semi-productive. What I really need to do is start getting shit together for my trip. I really don't want to wait until the last minute... I hate rushing around, even though I know it's what I'm going to do-- it's what I always do! |

So.. I just got home and I'm exhausted!
Matt and I decided to head up to New Hampshire on Saturday afternoon to see what trouble we could get into. We both had Sunday and today off, so what the heck?
We ended up driving all the way up to Berlin (FOREVER AWAY) where his parents were at a wedding reception for the long-time friends' son. WE CRASHED THAT SHIT, YO! Good food, good people, good cheap alcohol! We didn't stay very late, but long enough to enjoy ourselves. We found a crappy motel not far away that was cheap. Let me tell you-- that's a challenge on a Saturday night! We had to call 12 places before we found something!!
The next morning we hooked up with his parents for a little while and helped clean up after the party. Then continued on our way to North Conway and Lincoln. We played 3 games of mini-golf. One place was AWESOME! It had all these stairs you had to climb like tree houses. It was by-far the best course I've played on. The second was Pirates Cove which had two 18-hole courses, one supposedly more challenging than the other. They were decent.. one frustrated me to no end so I hated it. haha. But they were alright-- they were very pretty and well-maintained. If you were unaware... Matt and I are VERY serious about our mini-golf.. usually betting on something (lunch, buying a CD or snack for the other) and usually I lose... haha. We play whenever we go anywhere.
We ended up staying in Lincoln, where we've stayed before. We had dinner at a place in Woodstock, which was awesome. Then got some drinks and hung around the hotel room we got, I went swimming (FREEEEZING) and crashed early.
This morning we got up before 7 and headed to York Beach, Maine. We went to the beach and baked in the sun. I got a lot of good reading in. The water was a little too cold for me so I didn't swim. We got pizza for lunch and then went to the zoooo!! York Animal Kingdom is great because you can feed all kinds of animals and touch them-- what's better than that?? One of the monkeys had a baby and I wanted to die, SO CUTE!! She just swung around with it strapped to her belly. There were TONS of baby goats and the Bobcat had a baby that looked like a kitten that I want to take home and snuggle and feed it Kitten Chow! SOO CUTE! You can feed the goats, reindeer, ducks and llamas-- so fun!!
We decided to head home after that because we were both beat. So here we are! It was a much-needed escape. I missed my kitties a lot. What am I going to do when I'm in Mexico??
Oh yeah... 18 days until Mexico! NUTS! |

Cutest boy cat on the planet! <3<3<3
24 days until vacation. I really should make a real update one of these days. There just aren't enough hours in the day.
I'm going to see Rock E. Ripple MD (my allergist-- and no, I'm not kidding) tomorrow to be tested. We'll see how many needles I get put in me and what I'm allergic to. I'm tired of blowing my nose and rubbing my eyes. |

Tonight I'm doing the Relay for Life in my town. I'm not part of a team, but I made a donation and I'm going to walk for my dad. My mom bought a luminaria in his name. So, at 9pm, they'll light them and it'll be beautiful. I'll probably cry, but I think it's important. Cancer is a beast that should never ever ever touch anyone's life, whether they survive or don't survive.
So, if you see a donation jar or know of a Relay for Life in your area... do what you can. Every little bit helps. You could be helping to save someone's dad. |

Hi guys!
I'm doing the Memory Walk to benefit the Alzheimer's Association this year. I'm part of a team at my work. I'm doing what I can to get my own sponsors and raise some money for my team.
If anyone would like to sponsor me, you can do it via Paypal. My e-mail address is letmesaveyourday@hotmail.com
Anything you could spare would be awesome and it's going to a great cause!!
THANK YOU! |
