New Purchases (from Parents)

I am so blessed for this school year:

3 New Notebooks
1 New Pack Pens
5 New Pairs Socks
1 Water Bottle
1 Pack Detergent Sheets
And...

1 NEW CAMERA.

I suppose the camera was not, strictly speaking, necessary, but this is my senior year after all.

A New Picture of Grady

My New Charity Project

Some of you may remember Grady, whom I mentioned several months ago. For new readers and those who do not remember, Reece's Rainbow is an organization that helps disabled children around the world find families in the US and Canada. The organization also matches children with Prayer Warriors, whose job it is to "pray them home." I was matched with Grady approximately five months ago, and have been praying for him ever since.

Each child on Reece's Rainbow has an adoption grant fund to help prospective families afford the adoption. At the top of each page is a Donations button; click on it to make a paypal donation and then send an email specifying the child for whom you are donating. My current project is to raise, save, or receive via birthday and Hannukah gifts, money to donate to Grady's grant fund.

To see a picture of Grady go to reecesrainbow.com. Click on Waiting Children, Other Angels, Boys, and scroll down about five boys. Grady is the one who currently has about 670 dollars in his account.

Let's bring Grady home together!

Donated

Two nights ago, I donated 13 dollars saved from the school year, 10 dollars I earned from my parents for washing dishes, and 5 dollars of my parents' money to American Jewish World Service to help Haiti. That's 23 dollars of my own, worked for money, and donating it was the most amazing feeling ever.

Blog Post Number 100

So. Here we go. The big 100. Is this announcement big enough?

I am bisexual, not lesbian.

I am a woman, and I am strong, and I can handle this.

Sorry folks, that's all I've got tonight.

Aimed at "Anonymous" Who Commented on my Pain Blog

Thank you for your comment about Jesus. I appreciate your consideration of what you believe to be my best interests. I am asking for just enough tolerance from you to allow me to walk my own path, even when it is not yours.

Also, please, take responsibility for your actions and words and leave a name with your comment next time.

Thank you.

Money Update

After saving what I could all year, I have thirteen dollars to donate to Haiti. I am fully aware that it is not very much, but every little bit counts.

My parents pay us two dollars a load for doing dishes, and from that I have saved up the money to buy an Equality Ring, symbol of the National Marriage Boycott (marriageboycott.ning.com). I want two more cheap items (dolls for my dollhouse), and then everything else I earn will go to charity again. I shouldn't be buying the dollhouse dolls, but every now and then one needs to spend some money on oneself, you know?
