Weekend Update -- Week 4. One month to go!

Today is February 18th.  The Children's Cancer Fair and St. Baldrick's Event at Dell Children's Medical Center takes place on March 19th.  We have exactly one month to go!

February is a short month.  So in this case, a month is only four weeks!

I'll be keeping it short tonight.  I'm beat.  In the last two days, I've resumed my fundraising with a new vigor.  Time to kick back and enjoy a Friday with my husband.  Hopefully, my "second wind" of efforts will  be fruitful.  I had no idea when I got started how much work I'd put into this -- or how much I'd enjoy the busy-ness!


I have a quick and amusing story to relay.  I started my personal training at the YMCA this week (remember, I'm hoping that a lean, strong profile might help me pull off having short hair -- or none!) and my trainer and I sat down to go through the initial paperwork.  She asked for my fitness goals.  I guarantee that she was expecting the typical "I want to lose weight/run a marathon/lift a SmartCar."  There is no way to adequately describe her facial expression when I replied, "I want to look good bald."  She was utterly perplexed.  I left her to stammer for a few minutes before I let her off the hook and told her what I'm up to.

"You want to... bald... WHAA...?!?!?"

In other news, Google's Blogger program allows you to track all of your blog traffic.  While checking out my stats this week, I realized you could see where in the world your viewers are looking on from.  "Buzz for Bubbers" is being enjoyed in the United States, Canada, the U.K., Germany, France, the Netherlands, Denmark, South Korea, Lithuania, Romania, Finland, South Africa, and the Bahamas.

So... Hi, hello, 'allo, guten tag, bonjour, hoi, goddag, an nyeong, labas, buna ziua, hei, goeie dag, and...wait.  The Bahamas??? 

Dude.  Step AWAY from the laptop.  You're in the Bahamas.

"Ahhhhhhhh..........  Hey, I wonder if that lady in Texas is still blogging about cancer?"

Anyway.  Tonight's updates.

As of a donation made WHILE I've been typing this blog post, my donations have reached $4000!!!  Plus, there's another $150 floating around out there in the ether in the form of company matching funds.


My latest donor was decidedly pro-shave, bringing the totals to:
     Yes, shave it!    =   211
     No, just a trim!  =  187

Okay, turn you head on more of a slant...  Now, make a fist. Slowly ease it up underneath your chin.   Now, just imagine you're weightless, in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by tiny little seahorses.  *click*

Thank you all for another uplifting week.  I hope you'll hang in there with me for this last month!  And wherever you are, I hope your spring arrives soon!
