What to do?

I am too far behind-- no Nelson interview posted yet, have yet to finish organizing the office, need to send out email regarding Atlanta Pride, emails regarding a poetry fundraiser...... the list could continue.

I'm off work because I woke up not feeling well, and if there is one thing I have learned quickly is to listen to my body. A day of rest will have me back at work tomorrow going full force. However, I plan to squeeze in a couple of tasks from my list (if I don't, I might go crazy).

I want to give a huge heartfelt thank you to Montgomery Maxton and Kate Evans. MM is using his blog in a creative way to help with fundraising for my AIDS Walk Team, Team Truvy. (Take a minute to check out his post!) Kate Evans was the first person to donate to Team Truvy. Again, thanks MM and Kate!


Mother's Day-- My mother visited on Saturday, and my gift to her was a meal. We had salad, lemon pepper chicken, rice, veggies, mac&cheese, and baked potatoes. I cook from time to time; however, it typically isn't a meal like this, and I have to admit-- cooking a "big" meal isn't an easy task. I need to buy my mother a big ass thank you card for all those meals she cooked and continues to cook for the family.

When my mother cooks she is always getting up from the table for one reason or another so another else has to; she says it is what mothers do, so I enjoyed that my mother actually sat and relaxed when I asked (and demanded) her too while I did all the work. Her taking it easy made me smile and feel good.

IDAHO & A Picture--- Serious & Entertaining

Today, at the monthly Atlanta Pride Committee (yes, it has been proven safe to allow me to serve on committees) I learned something new. May 17 is International Day Against Homophobia (IDAHO). Check out the IDAHO website for information, including an interview with the founder of IDAHO.

To the left of the web page is a list titled Global Information-- guess what? The United States isn't listed. Honestly, I was shocked, but maybe I shouldn't be. I'm more likely to have a number hit covering a Dolly Parton song than our President making a positive public statement in regards to the day.

I want to see some action regarding IDAHO! Hopefully, I'm not the only one. Since my discovery occurred only IDAHO an hour ago, I am still reading information from the site; I'll post more information as I continue to research.

OK. On a much, much lighter note-- below is a picture of me in my new favorite shirt for the time being with my beautiful friend/coworker Unni (also known as the Unester--pronounced une-ster).



I had a woman give me an odd look, which made me think she was about to throw her sandwich at me; then she says, "I like. I'm a hot mom."
