So much has happened since I really sat down to update. The biggest of which was Corporate DoinGood Day! Considering that there were times we didn't have enough volunteers, we didn't have any kind of structure for the kids' area, buying the supplies almost became a total disaster, and our tools almost didn't get picked up...I was feeling a little ( Read more... )

I got this email today from the Volunteer Coordinator at the organization I went to Saturday morning:

Here are some photos of some of your adventures at the Reece Center. If they didn't come through, let me know and I'll try as an attachment. We can't thank you enough for your help and kindness to the riders, horses and other volunteers. Hope ( Read more... )

I just had a flashback about Totally Hidden Video. Anybody else remember that show on Fox from back in the 80s? For those of you who are waaay too young (or just really don't remember), it was basically what it sounds like: a hidden camera show. Anyway, it came to mind because they used to have a commercial for it that sang "S A T-U-R D-A-Y night ( Read more... )

So much going on out in the world. There was HUGE earthquake in Haiti today; I'm sure the pictures are going to be devastating because it's one of the poorest, most densely populated places on Earth.

Warning: This is going to make me sound like such an ungrateful bitch.

As it turns out, I did make the YP Council. Yaay! But is it wrong that I'm not really happy at all with the committee I'm on? There are two guys on this committee (including the Chair) that I feel like always talk over me when I'm trying to speak up OR they completely dismiss ( Read more... )

You know...Facebook and Twitter are fine for what they are, but I like LJ so much more. I feel like interacting with friends here is so much more meaningful. I have so many friends' entries that I need to catch up on. I'd hoped to do it this weekend; man, the busyness has kept up straight through yesterday. I can barely get myself started today - ( Read more... )

This has got to be one of the most productive weeks that I can remember having in such a long time. I'm feeling like I've got a lot to be proud of this week ( Read more... )
