OK, I did it...I just signed up for the 2006 Blogathon. I couldn't do it in years past because the stupid everyday pizza job kept me from being able to blog the whole 24 hours. I almost couldn't do it this year, either. I misread the time it started (0600 Pacific is six AM, not PM--d'oh!) and thought it started at 7PM Mountain time. My friend got us tickets to see The Wiz (one of our teachers from Platt plays The Wiz in it) at 2pm. When I realized my mistake after I signed up, I got really upset. While reading the FAQ on how to drop out, I saw they have a Sabbath schedule for those of the Jewish faith. It begins at 2100 Pacific (that's 10pm here). I decided to go ahead with that option. While not ideal, I still get to blog for my charity and still get to go see the play with my friend.
So, after all of that, you readers better Sponsor Me! Get your friends to sponsor me. Do it! NOW! Actually, you can sponsor me anytime up until 48 hours after the event.
I teetered between a couple of charities that I would support, but this time my charity of choice is LiveStrong/Lance Armstrong Foundation. Anyone that knows us knows how much of an icon Lance Armstrong is around our house. Also, getting cancer has got to be one of the most traumatic/scariest things that can happen to a person. I'm all for helping give people hope and support to overcome it.
If that charity doesn't appeal to you, go to the blogathon participating bloggers list and sponsor someone with a charity you do wish to support.
Hmm...I think I need a redesign for this!
