M.I.A.

Ok, we're not even going to talk about how long it has been since I updated my blog. Let's just say the first half of 2006 has been nuts. So, let's put the past behind us...let bygones be bygones...and all those other cliches, and move forward. Ok?

It is a foggy, rainy, miserable spring day in New York today. So what am I going to do? I'm going to go do 12 hour walk for cancer. Smart, huh? I'm headed out to Astoria, Queens this afternoon for the Relay for Life. I am on a team with 3 other gals from church, and we're heading out to raise both money and awareness for the American Cancer Society. We are pitching our tent along with several hundred others at Astoria Park, and then someone from our team will be walking around a track (I think) from 5:00 p.m. today until 9:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. Yep, should be a long night. But I am determined that it is going to be fun! I think they're going to have fun events and bands all evening...Twister tournaments, Limbo contests, pizza parties, yoga classes...fun stuff like that. Or maybe I should say, stuff they are hoping we all consider fun at 3:00 a.m. after we've been either walking or sitting in the rain for hours. It's all about attitude, right?

But who cares about rain, lots of walking, and a long night. This is all for an excellent cause. Maybe our children won't even know what cancer is...
