1) Man...Haiti...I know everyone on this thing has probably done so already and is sending thoughts and prayers their way, but please consider donating something, anything to relief efforts. As cheesy as it sounds, every dollar or even cent does help... I'm giving to the red cross because they were AWESOME after katrina but whoever you give to, pleas give something... I have to say I was incredibly humbled that after Katrina and Rita hit the gulf coast, haiti gave $36,000 in aid... $36,000 from one of the poorest nations on the planet. That's money they could really be using right now. After katrina, my cousin (who had 13 feet of water) was speaking to relief workers and they said that 3 cents was what it cost to give her a liter of clean, bottled water during her clean up period...so seriously...think about it.
2) a while ago I posted that they had found a node on my dad's thyroid. His biopsy came back today and thankfully it is benign, so no treatment or surgery this time! thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers!
3) no news to report. My visa application is in and I'm waiting to hear back, thoughts and prayers on this front would be most appreciated.
