Another way you can support Brendan's cause - the Leukemia Research Foundation
I got this in my email this morning.
Many months back we had a little pledge drive to raise money for LRF but really haven't done much in the intervening months. It would be great if those of you who can afford to do so would make a small donation to LRF this month in honor of Brendan's 24th and BHO's 1st Birthday. (You know, in ADDITION to the chocolate and gifts you were already planning to lavish upon me.
)
Thanks to everyone who has submitted T-shirt designs. I've received a few now and they are all fabulous. I can't wait to see what the rest of you come up with. Those of you submitting designs - don't tell people which are yours. We'd like to keep the submissions anonymous until after the voting as lala fears it will just become a popularity contest and she will win. She wants her victory untainted by politics, and instead won purely through bribery.
Do you sell on eBay? If you do you now can help raise funds to battle leukemia, lymphoma and the other forms of blood cancer every time you place an item up for auction. Just log on to www.missionfish.org to learn how. When you are ready to select your charity please choose the Leukemia Research Foundation.
The mission of the Leukemia Research Foundation is to conquer leukemia, lymphoma and myelodysplastic syndromes by funding research into their causes and cures, and to enrich the quality of life of those touched by these diseases. To contribute to the mission of the foundation please click here.

Look at how Michelle pokes me! I am just always up for a challenge. So I have made my donation. I have just come up with my T-shirt design aand now I have to work on making it happen. It is gunna rock y'all! (I hope.) I had fun in chat last night. It was nice to see a couple of new people. I can also say that my apartment is getting cleaner every day. But that is because the ants are carrying all the crumbs away. ;)

Aren't you supposed to be writing an essay Tim? Why are you here posting on the blog instead? ;)
Lala - send the ants to me when you are done with them.

Well maybe because someone told me to! And I'm procrastinating! Everyone knows that the world's greatest works were written by people who were under pressure! or something like that...i have no clue and I just made that up, so i guess its b/c im just lazy.

My sister and I are actually both planning on donating money to the Leukemia Foundation for Brendan's birthday and also BHO's first birthday.
Can't wait to see the T-shirt submissions! :)

Haha, timmy, I don't think so! ;)

Heck no, we're definately keeping it, should we win. How we share, we'll talk about that later, haha. Perhaps post it on our euro shrine. ;)
By
Silawen, at 8/22/2005 5:14 PM
OR you could set it on the shrine in front of my house.

Timtheswimmer, at 8/22/2005 5:28 PM
Wheeee! Thanks Alexandra and tell Francesca thank you too. I donated $25 this morning - 1 for each of his 24 years plus one to grow on or 1 for BHO, however you want to look at it.
Good effort Tim but looks like the Euro girls aren't going to be easily persuaded. And you really shouldn't call lala crazy. You never know what she'll do (she's crazy after all).
By
Michelle, at 8/22/2005 5:48 PM
Crazy one?? Moi? If you aren't careful Timmy I might tell Kara Lynn Joyce that you are dumping her for Katie Hoff. Oops, looks like I already did. But I think you should look at Kelsey Ditto. She is adorable too. And you would have really great in-laws. And she is a Longhorn and we loooove Longhorns here. (especially the tattoo variety) Good luck those of you who think you are gunna beat me out of that backpack. It is mine mine mine I tell you! I want it!

lala, at 8/22/2005 6:23 PM
Umm wait. Michelle called me crazy too.. And the Aussie Mommies and Daddies called me the "Crazy American Lady" .. Hmmm...
By
lala, at 8/22/2005 6:25 PM
Hahah. Sensing a pattern there lala?
That's Ok though, I love a little bit of crazy :)
By
Sarah, at 8/22/2005 6:54 PM
Well they don't have to know that i'm with both of them...lol, but we all watch tv, and we all know how that always turns out. Well Kara Lynn is a little too old for me :( I know, its devestating. Well maybe they can like take turns...one month for one, then one month with the other...that sounds good. And are there any other pics of Kelsey Ditto?? And lala, i dont trust you in charge of me, because you're crazy...lol. ya know i'm just joshin ya

I would absolutely love to submit an entry for the contest for a chance to win the backpack graced with Bren's signature, but I have no artistic abiilities (sadly). :(
By
Mika, at 8/22/2005 11:25 PM
Oh don't worry Mika, you are definitely not alone.
But I must say, the best part of these contest is seeing how competitive everyone gets. It can get very entertaining. Agree?

i'm really busy with school starting but i will attempt to submit an entry! don't worry Meesh d-o-double-g
By
Anna, at 8/23/2005 1:45 AM
With so much drama in the LBC,
It's kinda hard being Meesh D-O double G.
(Wait... I'm the one from the LBC .. That would be implying that I am drama, and I don't think that is the case.)
Molly, I don't recall ever being all competitive for these contests.. ::bats eyelashes:: :::blinks contact lens out::: I just finished one and now I want to make more.
I got in such a habit of watching swimming every weekend this summer, that I keep finding myself putting old races on in the background. I am also composing my letter to FINA about their bad officials. Have a great day everyone.
By
lala, at 8/23/2005 11:47 AM
I am making this a fair contest and not entering. Yes, that's it. That and I have enough bags to outfit a small elementary school.
How does that letter go exactly, lala?
Dear FINA,
I would like to alert you to the dearth of officiating skill represented by your organization. Specifically, a blindfolded sea monkey could officiate with greater accuracy. Three words for you: Go to video. I hereby volunteer to operate the camera.
Sincerest Regards,
Crazy American Lady

What what what? How did you know? Except for that face that you spelled and typed all of that correctly, that was exactly what I was going to write!
By
lala, at 8/23/2005 10:06 PM
I think it's what we all want to write!
Morning everyone... hope you're all doing fine
