Sep. 11th, 2010 05:24 pmToday, I woke up at seven o'clock and quickly woke my Mom up after. We'd been planning this, so she wasn't terribly grumpy at me waking her up at a time that we usually never saw except for fleeting glimpses.
There was a Red Cross Walkathon in Downtown Monroe, and I wanted to do it, so we got the dog, got up early, and left, almost thinking that we would be late. We actually ended up early, an amazing experience for the two of us, who are chronically late.
In any case, we chose the medium loop - the two mile one. But we walked, and I gave ten dollars (which was given to me by my Grandma, since I didn't have any cash on me), and some people petted Dresden and said he was pretty. One person said that she had three dogs, and none of them were the size of his head. We said that the three dogs could probably eat Dresden before Dresden even noticed.
When we hit a water station, the two guys taking care of it got a paper cup and gave Dresden some water. They also gave him a health bar, and we laughed and said that Dresden would gulp down anything if he could.
So this morning I kind of felt like I did something good. And plus, I got to walk, listen to music, and see some gorgeous houses as I did.
I suppose that's the only thing really important that happened today, but here are two links I think everyone should read -Internet's Operation Birthday Boy is a Success!, and The Money Tree.
