Maybe I spend a lot of time playing on my computer late at night, but I now have an extenseve list of sites that I visit daily, so I thought I would share.

www.RelayForLife.org -- (until June 1) there is a banner about voting on next year's shirt, click it and vote for the third option!!! It is called Celebrate. Thanks!
http://diamondordollars.wetv.com/ -- win $50,000 from WEtv
http://www.valpak.com/coupons/home -- I think this is something else from WEtv
http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/sweepstakes/ -- this page lists all the sweepstakes for HGTV, FoodNetwork, etc

23 days, but who's counting!

www.TheBreastCancerSite.com is having trouble getting enough people to
click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on 'donating a mammogram' for free (pink window in the middle).

This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammograms in exchange for advertising.

Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know. http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/

Also, I think everyone knows how involved I am in the Relay For Life of Gillespie County (this is my second year as the chair. Last year we raised $125,000!!!),
I feel that it is all of our jobs to spread the word, especially about early detection!!! Our Gillespie County Relay's website is http://events.cancer.org/rflgillespietx ...just in case you wanted to register a team or make a donation to my team!!!!!!!!!! PS...everyone is invited to come to my Relay For Life. It is May 2-3, 2008. Opening ceremony is at 7pm Friday May 2....be there or be square!!!!
Thanks!

Relay For Life Summit

A weekend update…
Friday I headed to Dallas for the American Cancer Society Relay For Life Summit. For anyone who might not know, I am the chair of the Gillespie County event. Last year we raised $122,000 (that is $33,000 more then the previous year!)

The conference was packed with information and helpful resources. The main difference this year was that I went alone. Yep, I had a stranger as a roommate on the 29th floor! I survived amazingly well and feel like I can take on the next challenge of finding a job that I love. (Some of you might have thought sleeping in my own bed would be the next step-nope. HeHeHe).

Along with tackling the ballroom with 1300 people each day, I found the support of those 1300 people. We all have a major part of our lives in common, and it took just a few minutes for a click of girls to form. Saturday night was filled with girl fun and confidence building.

Im not really one of those ‘Im-too-fat’ girls, but I have to say my confidence is at an all time low…well it was. Getting out of Fredericksburg and meeting real people was GREAT! I went out on a limb and did things WAY out of my normal little life and grew because of it.

I heard a quote today. A man was giving advice to his little girl about men. “Don’t listen to anything they say, pay attention to what they do.” This sound like good advice to me, but now I know guys can say pretty nice things too.
