*sigh*

I got a bad haircut today. Not just a little bad, really bad. Bad, as in, I'll be getting a second haircut in a few days to fix the enormous badness of it all kind bad.

That being said I donated it again to Children With Hair loss, and a child will be getting a new head of hair out of it, so it's all good.

So here's my theme song for the day.

Yay bad hair.

Community Heath Charities

This month's donation is heading to Community Health Charities.

CHC's Michigan chapter supports a number of health related charities in Michigan including the American Diabetes Association.

You can find your state's chapter here if you are so inclined.

Links of course in the side bar.

Haiku And

So much depends on
the singing of a bird on
a cold winter's day.


Green Bean two days after my last trip to Chicago.

He gets upset every time I leave him for more then a night and chews his feathers until he's naked.

His feathers are finally starting to come back in.



After my transplant the only feathers he had left were the ones he couldn't reach on his head.

So sad.

It's rough being little and green.

The poem is something I wrote soon after I got my first bird 20 years ago.

Next Stop, Chicago Marathon

Cellmates On The Run met their fund raising goal of $10,000 for the 2010 Shamrock Shuffle this weekend. The race is Sunday so it's not to late to help blow that goal out of the water!

Check it out.

Children's Rare Disease Network

We decided this month's donation should go to Children's Rare Disease Network.

Children's Rare Disease Network provides education, support and resources to parents, families of children with rare diseases, as well as the researchers that support them. Diseases like Ivemark Syndrome and MODY syndrome. Diseases that are less understood and well, largely underfunded in the research spectrum.

You can find more information about CRDN here.

Just Because

For some reason the people in my life like to give me salt and pepper shakers. I'm not a particular fan of salt and pepper shakers, but I suppose it's better then being given candy dishes or sugar bowls and honestly, I've come to appreciate them for the gifts that they are and the thought behind each odd pair that I now own.

My most recent set are two love birds. They stand about 3 inches tall and my parrotlet seems to think they're pretty cool. He sat there and chattered at them until he got bored and went off to play with the parakeet.

He's a goofy little bird.
