We have a big tree outside our house that gets infested with beetles every year. I think they're Elm Beetles. Anyway, they've been particularly bad this year. The poor tree has hardly any green left in the leaves at all. What really sucks is when they get into the house. There is dead beetles that I need to vacuum up all over the place. There's one that keeps landing on my monitor as I type. When I went to look out the back door earlier, the screen was just covered in them.

Just a quick note to let you know that if you had intended to but just never got a round to it, you can still SPONSOR ME for the this past weekend's Blogathon for another 24 hours.

Thanks again to everyone who supported me in this year's effort!

Well, another Blogathon is under my belt. Thanks again everyone for all of your help and support.

One more post after this one and Blogathon 2007 is a wrap for me.

I hope I've given those who read my posts some food for thought. I know I learned quite a bit through my research and will definitely be making more conscious choices and making gradual changes. It really is sad that a lot of disease is preventable by diet and lifestyle changes.

Thanks to all of my online friends who suggested topics for my posts tonight.

I want to take this next to last post to once again thank all of my generous sponsors in raising $305 for Livestrong: The Lance Armstrong Foundation:

• Marcus L
• Yoshi
• Nina, Mike & Sarah
• WebKittyn
• Marcus W.
• Marisa
• Tom D. (my dad)
• Colleen
• Cass
• Alli
• Amy
• Bug

If you meant to pledge and never got around to it, you can still pledge up to 48 hours after we're done here. Those that did pledge will be getting an email from Blogathon in the next couple of weeks I think with details as to how to fulfill your pledge.

There's still some bloggers going on the B schedule (until 9pm Pacific tonight). Drop by and give them some support as I will when I wake up.

Frykitty is asking what we would avoid doing next time that we've done in this or a past Blogathon:

I will not decide to switch my template the day before the 'thon and then stay up until 2am MDT tweaking it when the Blogathon starts in 5 short hours. I definitely will make sure I have my site design in place a month early and a full night's sleep under my belt the night before the event kicks off.
