I guess it's been one of those 'busy stretches' for everybody.
I had a great dinner last night with Maureen and got caught up with her world.
I had a three day bridal show this weekend at The Dance Museum. It was fun, as it should be, but gotta tell you, I'm not used to being on my feet for hours at a time. Whoa, I was bushed! Tired legs!
So I missed Monday's trip to the Y but got back in the saddle yesterday. "Walking" next to me on the treadmill was a friendly chap who could be the "mayor" at the Y; he talks to everybody. Turns out he's the starter at Saratoga National Golf Course...where Coach Bill Parcell is a member and frequent golfer. He shared stories and I told him my 'claim to fame' of taking golf lessons with then-12-year-old Dottie Pepper. Made my mile and a half go fast.
I'm looking forward to driving to Pittsford on Friday and getting to meet the twins, Grace and Aaron on Saturday.
That's it from here.....

Hey everyone! I have also been pretty busy with trying to catch up on school work. Being out for 3 months equals a very very large stack of papers!
So as most of you already know my birthday is coming up. May 2nd! Hooray! In exactly 4 weeks =)
For this year i am asking for presents but most of all i am asking for you all to help me out with something.
For the past few weeks i have been doing a research project in my Biology class about genetic diseases. The disease i have been researching is called Progeria. It can affect any new born baby. These children age extremely fast and do not grow very much. The life expectancy is only around 13 years if you are lucky.
When i first started the project i was scared to look at the faces of these children, because of the way they looked but also because of how sad i felt because there is no cure and no treatments.
As the weeks of research progressed i absolutely fell in love with these kids. They are the most adorable children and have such amazing hearts and spirits.
This is a link to a video of a boy with Progeria named Mickey. Once you hear his story and his outlook on life i am sure you will fall in love too.

My one request of you this year on my birthday, is if you could donate whatever amount you would like to the Progeria Research Foundation(link will follow). Let this be your present to me. I only hope that with your help we can make some sort of impact.

Love to all of you,
