inappropriate is often funny

It’s probably inappropriate that I regularly catch my dog standing with his hind legs on my couch and front legs on my coffee table, but it’s also highly amusing.

What else is inappropriate and not highly amusing? The fact that Duke lost in the NCAA Tournament tonight. I had them picked to win it all, like I always do, and now I am officially done gaining points in the bracket because the rest of my teams got knocked out in earlier games. I’m glad I didn’t put any money on my picks this year, that’s for sure.

new apartment life

I came home from work, did the dogwalking thing, and now I have nothing to do. I mean, there’s always unpacking or laundry or cleaning, but I forgot how nice it was to be able to sit in my own living room, watching whatever I want on TV, and not worrying about bothering anyone. I like this living alone thing.

After work, I noticed I had three missed calls on my cell phone from my apartment’s lobby phone. I always hate it when that happens, because I never know what’s going on!

My life is brilliant.

$$ for boobs

This year’s 3 Day is so exciting for me. Being part of a bigger and more local team is probably one of the highlights of it this year.

My cousin has been knitting scarves and has raised $110 for me so far, and she’s planning on knitting even more.
Our team has raised over $11,000, with just under 5 months to go before the walk. As co-captains, Jenni and I decided to up our team goal from $20,000 to $25,000. It’s for boobs! We can find another $5000 in donations somewhere, right?

We’ve baked thousands of cookies and whipped together over a thousand truffles. We’ve hawked pink breast cancer awareness wristbands for twice the cost. It’s quite obvious. People love boobs.

Yesterday, I mailed out 40 letters to area businesses asking for raffle prize donations for our April 22nd Bowling Party. We’ve already received over $400 worth of raffle prizes – concert tickets, gift certificates, gift baskets.

I realized yesterday that by the time the walk rolls around (August 18-20), I’ll have been fundraising for 10 months. And I LOVE IT.
