Thank you so very, very much again for your sponsorship in this year's Blogathon! We raised a total of $148.50 for Lance Armstrong's LiveStrong Foundation. You guys are the best!

Not only that, the 285 bloggers that made it through the event had pledges totally a whopping $101,133.63. Very impressive, indeed.

Here's the heads up that I have every intention of doing this again next year! I hope you'll all support me again. I couldn't do it without great friends and family like you!

Well, we all made it! Blogathon 2006 is over on all fronts. Thanks again to everyone for helping me make my first Blogathon a success. My sponsors raised $135 to benefit Livestrong. I couldn't be more pleased. Don't forget, you can still Sponsor Me! for another 48 hours. Thanks for sticking through it all together, Team Shabbat! It was wonderful getting to know each of you.

Now, if you'll excuse me...I have a date with my pillow.

So, the myth being tested is the danger of farting yourself to death in a small room. I don't know if it me being so tired or if this is really that funny. Adam was sitting in a bathrub trying to capture his own farts so they could test the percentages of different gases contained in theml No way in hell could I ever fart on demand!

My room is hot, my back hurts, I've been sitting in my chair for too long. I've moved to the couch to watch an episode of Mythbusters with Marcus before we head off to bed. If you've never watched it, you should check it out. These two dudes and their associates try to scientifically bust myths. They like to shoot guns and blow stuff up. This show is about Franklin's kite and electricity and flatulance. Yay!! You gotta love the Discovery Channel!

It struck me that I told all about the animals, but never spilled the story of how Marcus and I met. I was working at a pizza place and we had a new guy working there from a competing chain. I was sent on a delivery and was told I'd probably get a decent tip because the guy that ordered was a friend of the new guy. Well, I knock on the door and this gangly kid opens the door, still wearing the hat from the competing chain. I was like, "What kind of dork orders a pizza from a competing chain while still in uniform?" Well, a short while after, we get a new manager and who does it turn out to be? This dork kid I delivered to. I don't remember how long it was after that we started becoming friends, but he had a girlfriend at the time. After they broke up, we started hanging out more. I remember telling my mother at one point that he was the one. I wasn't sure of his feelings for me until his best friend told me that he liked me. I got tired of waiting for him to make the first move, so I did! We've been together 14 years now and have only had a couple of minor hiccups in the meantime.
