JRCWP 2011 for Haiti

Aug 24 2011

Watch: Habitat Haiti Video

Turns out the 2012 JRCWP will also be in Haiti!

I’m working on my support letter and presentation for KK’s birthday now and came across this video :) Can’t wait to see the transitional and upgradeable shelters in person!

[It's] gone.

The actual quote is “And like that, poof. He’s gone.” from the Usual Suspects, one of my all-time favorite movies, referring to the main villan of course. Here, I’m referring to HOW QUICKLY each day goes by. Like right now, I can’t believe it’s 11pm already. I don’t even have a family or kids to take care of and I can’t find enough time in a day. I feel like I’m always blogging about how fast time flies lol.

Anyways, I have a lot to blog about (also another thing I always blog about – about how I have so much to blog about but never blog the stuff lol) and I also really need to get on top of my fundraising letter. But! I have been slowly getting things off my to-do list… got my tires rotated today (finally) and faxed my request to cancel my individual health insurance (finally).

Stuff that’s happened…
- Work launch in Vegas… and everything else
- CBC retreat, lots of good and thought-provoking messages
- Mimi’s wedding, my first real wedding for a friend… it’s kicking off a trend haha
- Eric’s epic car relay, I have photos from the cardboard prep that I want to post and write about haha

Sometimes I feel like I’m no longer an “I”, but then I start to feel anxious about not having enough time to myself and I definitely feel like withdrawing into a cave. It’s crazy how much has been going on, especially since I joined Exodus!

And now I’m going to Haiti in a few months. O_O;; Craziness!

I want to blog about tech stuff… but I think I should decouple that from this blog… don’t need random people coming across a tech post and then reading the rest of my random ramblings lol

And I digress…

how sad to be counting the days till the year is over, yet also not wanting the year to disappear so fast

no more… i’m starting to freak out about the fact that it’s august and i still haven’t been able to take care of my rollover 401k from veoh, or any of my finances in general… that it’s august and i still haven’t scheduled a doc/dentist/optometrist appointment for my trip in november… that it’s august and i still haven’t written my fundraising letter for my trip and i need to raise A LOT more money… it’s august and i haven’t even been able to enjoy summer at all! geez, talk about burnout… i have no time for anything i have to do, let alone anything i want to do either.

at this rate i’ll never meet someone and get married lol

WHERE DID 2011 GO?!?
