Race For the Cure

Brian and I did this last year (as you can read below) and we're trying to get a team together to do it again this year. Let me know if you're interested, it's a stupidly early morning event but it's a really good cause. :)

Hey everybody!

The Race is coming up next month - October 21st to be exact. Last year I was able to raise a good amount of money, and did the 1K walk with Jenni. We had a really good time, and were surprised at how short 1K actually is! Anyway, I was still a student at UTD at the time and joined the team the UTD Women's Center had formed. Since I'm no longer a student... I was wondering if anybody would be interested in forming our own team this year? I'd love it if we could get a few more people involved this year and actually walk the full 5K this time. (really, it's not that far--and I'm *certainly* not going to be racing competitively!!)

So please take a second to let me know if you'd be interested.. And if you have any suggestions for a cute name for our team!

DETAILS:
Race is Saturday October 21
Must register by October 16
Starts at 7:45am
$30 to register

A Final Xmas post

Here's one more "Night Before" version that I couldn't help but steal from Da Jules. Y'all enjoy! Twas the night before the party When all through the town, No pigs were stirring, No cops were around. We drank segrams & smoked panama reds, While visions of the munchies danced through our heads. When all of a sudden came a knock at the door... We all yelled "Pigs!" & hit the floor. But what to our red glazed eyes did appear... A pound of columbian with 2 kegs of beer. The man at the door, he gave us a smile So we said, "Come on in man, You should party a while." But we heard him exclaim as he flew through the sky... MARIJUANA TO ALL & TO ALL A GREAT HIGH!!!

RIP Charlie "Butch" Sours, I miss your cranky ass. :'-(

Dear Charlie-Dad, I can't believe I'm writing this letter, I just knew you were going to be an immortal creature. You were always so brave and steadfast and I thought you'd live forever on belligerence alone. I'm so not ready to say good-bye. You seemed tired when you were here at Thanksgiving, but then we started making plans for you to move back to Texas next year and I had false hope that you were going to be around a while longer. What a horrible tease. So much of who I am is because of you, and I'm grateful to still have your voice in my head saying all the grumpy things that you loved to say so often. My fierce loyalty, sticking by my guns on tough topics, and most importantly my ability to love unconditionally all came from you. You were an amazing role model for me, like none I've had before or since, and I sincerely hope I've done you proud on how I'm turning out. I wish I'd recorded your stories, I hate that so many were lost with y

Where in the world is Jenni?

I'm having a breakdown and I'm strangely comfortable with it. I've been the sad version of myself since last summer and the rest of my emotions are somewhere in the distance. I can see them but can't quite get there, not really, not fully. I've been struggling with major depression and have had many days where upright on the couch (vs. fetal position in the bed) was the best I could do. I've barely been working, I haven't wanted to leave the house much, and I've become more and more introverted as the months pass. It's safe to say I'm a very hot mess right now. Over the last month things have been changing inside me at a scary fast rate, and here's how it happened... Several months ago, a dear friend sent me over this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Evwgu369Jw which is an animated short about Empathy vs Sympathy. It resonated with me in a way that caused me to go back and keep watching it. Fast forward to the snow/ice week
