Have you all noticed????????????????

Thanks to the promotional efforts of wonderful Jen, I've raised more money this week for my bike ride! WOOHOOO!!

Speaking of the ride, it's a week from tomorrow! I can't believe it's literally around the corner. It just seems like yesterday that I began training and wondered what kind of craziness I was getting myself involved in.

But as training and my fundraising efforts progressed, I really came to see how important it was to find a cure for blood related cancers. 

As I talked about the ride, light was shed on how, unfortunately, common blood cancers are. Quite a few people informed me that they knew someone or had a friend who knew someone who had a blood cancer of sorts. It's sad to say but it seemed like it was the Six Degrees of Leukemia & Lymphoma. 

In my own circle of friends, family, co-workers, I know seven people who have been afflicted with or whose family member suffered or died from it.

They are the people I'm riding for.

So, thank you all for your support, your gift, how ever large or small is going a long way to find a cure.

Arnold Schwarzenegger you suck. You are a total politcal opportunist. And Maria Schriver, please explain what you see in him. Because REALLY!!!

To the young Hill staffers (at least I think they were Hill staffers, they sure had the look going) I yelled at while biking yesterday, my apologies. You totally had the right of way. I did not see the crosswalk signal.

I've been working on a handbag that I've designed. Hopefully I'll be able to write a pattern that's not too confusing. I keep meaning to take "in progress" photos of my various projects, but I'm really really bad at that and wind up just posting the finished product..

(Ok, I just took one with my camera phone, but the quality's kind of crappy. Here it is, but I'll get a better one posted when I get home tonight.)

Here's the new and improved photo!!
