Wow. Just Wow.

Just this week we have raised about $1400 for our teams. Zoe is watching cartoons, but I can't wait to tell her that she is now over $300 - thanks to some awesome readers and donors (I love you, my beautiful cousins!!!). We are so blessed to have you.

I met with the LLS folks yesterday (and yes they are supremely awesome) and talked over some of the ideas we had. We aren't sure if it will be an "official" national team this year or not - as it depends on a certain amount that we'd have to raise (e.g. $100,000). The magical Clarissa is checking on it for me and we will figure out how to set up the teams to ensure that we get the credit for all the donations. After all, how can I track that million that I'm going to raise?

I really am pretty psyched about Team Zoe and want kids fron all over to walk in the Light the Night walks. I purchased teamzoe.net yesterday, but need to get a designer and a blog host to work on it for me? Any of you out there know someone who might know someone? I'm sure I can find a sponsor to pay for it, if someone can figure out the design/hosting details.

I just didn't want kids to be coming to the Debu_site as there are way too many f*bombs dropped around here most of the time. So Team Zoe will have it's own site. With lots of links to details about leukemia, different websites, and in general, kiddy-poo stuff.

Sis #2 and I also decided to go with Team Debuma too. To remind ourselves that we can do this. That we can kick some cancer ass. And eventually I want to meet the lovely Ms. Thurman like I was supposed to last year. One day. I'm sure it will happen one day.

So we are working on a bunch of stuff. Graphics for t-shirts. Sayings, etc. I want people te be able to purchase items on demand with the profits going to the LLS thru Team Debutaunt. Long term, I want my friend Brenda D to be the living version of Susan B. Koman - except for blood cancers. With the Light the Night and Team in Training events run for the many strong people that either kicked cancers ass or died trying. I want people to hear us and finally find a cure for this devastating illness.

Brenda's spirits seem to be up. She's still having a hard time and Lord, I saw a picture of the most. swollen. foot. ever - from Gleevac... ouch ouch ouch. But the girl, well she's got some spunk. Even though she had the most ginourmous foot, she had the prettiest painted toes in all the land.

But you all heard me. You all are slowly spreading the word that it's time to put an end to this. It's time to fund research to find cures for this. To fix us. To find medicines that aren't worse than the disease.

I can do this. Zoe and I are going bowling tomorrow.

Your assignment for today is to do some infrastructure work. I've been wearing hats all week, and I'm overdue for an Arbonne order. (it really is good stuff) I think we are going to do some spa treatments around here today. Be good to yourself. Give yourself a facial or get your nails done. Work out at the gym and feel your body work the way it's supposed to. Meditate or do yoga. Eat something delicious and healthy. Do something nice just for you today. Warriors need a day off too.

Also, if you can think of something cool for our t-shirts, hats and other promotions, let me know. I have not had enough caffeine yet.
