Hola All

So the fundraising is going pretty well with the marathon. I've got over $250 now. Not bad since I'm not really doing much other than talking to people about it at the moment. I'm thinking about having a huge benefit sometime this summer...I'm thinking Julyish/Augustish so I can really get a lot of money together. I've definitely got some ideas brewing.
The other fun part of my life was the recent birthday I celebrated. I'm not that old yet but they sure are getting pretty fun. I went out Thursday night to Girl's Night Out at Kahuna and had a cool time. Then I fell asleep really early when I was supposed to be going out but it was nice because I was so tired. Then the next day at work they scheduled too many people so I went home about 3 1/2 hours early and got ready for the BBQ I had started to plan all last minute. I got around 80 or 90 jello shooters done, made all kinds of food, cleaned up the house (which was a feat in itself because you should have seen my house), went shopping...you know, all the stuff you have to get ready for a party. Then all the fam came over and a few friends and we had a good time. I did 26 jello shooters in honor of the marathon. It really does seem like a lot of the things I do revolve around running nowadays. I think I might like it. =)
Sunday was the cooler day. I slept until about 10:30 and got up and ate a little bit and went back to bed literally until around 5. I did absolutely nothing during the day except read a little. It was nice. Then I went grocery shopping with Ben and got ready to go to the dinner he had planned to surprise me with. He always lets me know that we're doing something but never what. It's nice. So we get in the car and he says I have to be blindfolded. It didn't happen cuz I just did my makeup all hot-like but I did close my eyes for him. I knew where we were going until the last turn and then he told me to open my eyes. I was very excited because he actually listens when I talk. We ended up eatin at Krazy Kat's. It's this really upscale place around Montchanin on Rt. 100. Little did we know how pricey it was too!!! I walked in and my mom and Lonnie, Carl and Tiff and the baby and my cousin Randy were already there. I was so happy. I ate some weird stuff. Duck con somethin that was actually goose liver I think, and I had quail which was actually quite good, and lamb for dinner. Then my cake came out and it said on it, "Running to the beat of her own drum." That made me smile. What made me cry was my other surprise. Just before I was finished eating a friend popped out of nowhere and surprised me.
Christie moved away to Florida in the middle of last summer so I never really got to say goodbye to her. Then she got pregnant and I still didn't get to see her. I missed her so much it wasn't even funny. So she and Ben decide they'll sneak attack me and they slide her on up from Florida for my very own happy birthday. She snuck up behind me and slipped her hands over my eyes and I thought it was my friend "Other Kelly" cuz she's got tiny hands too. Then Christie spoke and instantaneously I started crying...I mean, before she even got her hands away from my eyes. I cried hard!!! Then I couldn't stop hugging her. Then she was sitting on my lap and she went and spent the night at my house and I slept with her on my couch and we hung out the next day til like 1. I miss her soooooo much. She's like my fake girlfriend but she's got a boyfriend. You'd have to be me to understand. Oh well...so I had a great birthday and a great weekend. Now I'm bitchin at work again but I'll live. Have a good one y'all. Peace and love.
