Sunflower Project for LRF

As a big Crystal Bowersox and Brian Walker fan, I am here to announce the sad news that Brian's mother has recently passed away.

In honor of his mother, we are holding a special Sunflower Project Fundraiser to raise money to donate to the Leukemia Research Foundation.

Please send your donations to our PayPal address at http://bit.ly/dzLBjM
100% of the proceeds will go directly to LRF with printed statements as proof. If given the option, please send as a gift to defray the PayPal fees that are automatically taken out with each transaction.

I will update this post with more info and links, so please bookmark this post and revisit often! Thank you.

***UPDATES***

An anonymous donor has contacted me with a challenge for all the Village Idiots and Da Nation.  If we can raise $400 by the end of April, they will MATCH dollar for dollar to bump us up to $800!!  But the condition is, we HAVE to raise $400 first or we don't get it!!  So please, if every VI or Nation member just donated $5, we will reach our goal very quickly.  It doesn't take but a few seconds to donate. Click the link above and help raise money for Brian Walker's mom who passed away.  I will post a separate blog about my encounter with Brian when I met him 4/1in Monroe.  It is very sweet and touching. He is very heartbroken and it means the world to him that we are doing this for his mom.

ANOTHER UPDATE!!!
We have a 2 for 1 match deal!!! Another anonymous donor says they will match $400 also.  So if we can get to $400, we will instantly have $1200!!!!  WOW!!!!  Come on folks, spread the word and let's get to $400 soon!!!!

THAT IS A GRAND TOTAL OF
$1344 SO FAR!!!
THANK YOU!!!

We aren't done yet!!!  Let's keep it going!!

I got a fever!!! Cabin Fever!!

More cowbell just aint cuttin it!!!

So much has been at a stand still in my life, I yearn to open up my windows and get to working outside, but the weather is just not cooperating with me.  I need to clean up my back yard from the destruction of the ice storm.

Just look at this mess!!!  I need a chipper/mulcher or something, a lot of this would be good mulch for my flower beds in the front. The rest of it would be great firewood for bonfires this summer.

Either way you look at it, it's gotta be done and only one to really do it is me.

So come on Mother Nature!  Can you give me just one week of nice, warm weather so I can clean this up??  I'm tired of having cabin fever!

**UPDATE**
I broke down and walked over to the neighbors house.  Spent some time talking with him and what do ya know, he has a mulcher/vacuum he said I could borrow!  Hot damn!!!  I love my neighbors!!!  Thanks Ron!!!

Happy First Month Anniversary!

Wow, just cannot believe a whole month has gone by that I have been seeing Rob.  It's truly been a really great month.  I haven't been this happy in years, probably a decade!!

I gotta be honest tho, I am really scared that I am falling hard for him.  I've always been a hopeless romantic, wear my heart on my sleeve kind of lady. I always end up being hurt, always.  I find myself really holding back with him, even tho he isn't.

I feel like I should just close my eyes and lean back and just fall, but so many times, no one is there to catch me.  I feel like he would, but do I want him to?

I'll just take it day by day, it's all I can do.  In the mean time, I enjoy how he winks at me, kisses the back of my hand, holds me in his arms, sings to me and looks deep in my eyes.
