Renee of Genre Impaired supports the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance, and psychotherapist Isabella Mori of the Change Therapy blog is raising money for the Canadian Mental Health Association.

After the thon, we slept. A few hours. Then we woke up and padded around the apartment and did a little laundry so I'd have clean blogathon clothes to wear home because the ones I had been wearing for 24-hours weren't too fresh and I hadn't taken the time to pack anything for the drive over. Then I drove an hour back to the new house and HalfBrainBoy did a bunch of stuff he'd put off all weekend (like paying bills and balancing the books) in order to get ready to go back to work Monday morning. Monday I think I took our new bedroom apart and packed up some new bedding I had purchased to take back to the store because I had made a definite decision not to keep it. I also saw Ke...

(Okay, that part is just wishful thinking.) I can see how Keri has decided every year that the past year was the last year. This is pretty grueling. But, every year we find more and more that motivates us: Progress in the battle against cancer, or, more people we get to know who are living lives dramatically altered by this disease.

I’ve wandered in to the next room a few times to watch the progress of the sun as it starts to light up the lake I overlook. Last night, the lake reflected the full moon. Very nice. This morning, the same lake is starting to wake up. There aren’t any boaters or diehard anglers yet. But, there soon will be. I just hope they are the quiet kind of anglers.

There was this year that Keri and Keli and I were Tom Petty groupies. He always seems to put on a good concert. First, Keri and I saw him in the Target Center in Minneapolis. That experience pretty much convinced us that we wouldn’t go there for any more music events. The sound wasn’t good. And, the crowd in the nose-bleed section seemed more intent on hiding their smoke than watching the concert. But, hey, it was still PETTY. Later that year, we ended up in Denver at the same time as Tom Petty. It took a bit of work to “coincidentally” be there at the same time. But, it worked out.

He took me to my first real concert: Men at Work. We double dated with another totally awesome couple that also happened to be my boyfriend’s age. All of them had just graduated that year and I had just completed my sophomore year of high school. I felt pretty cool to be running with this older crowd... pretty sophisticated.

Ice cream is good. It’s sweet. People like it. There are other things that are sweet. And, there are other things people like. One of these things is fudge. If there is any question on whether the topic of fudge and ice cream are related, just look at how many stores sell both. So, the question could actually be read as “What is your favorite fudge, and where you can get it?” Ahhh. Good question, there. My favorite fudge. Ohhhh. There is this candy place in San Francisco. I won’t attempt the name because I’ll likely mess it up. But, it always has a line out the door. This place makes flavors of f...

I mean the really memorable ones. Here’s one memorable lack of sleep experience. Of course, it was in college. I had put off some assignments until the last minute. I had to write two papers in two days. These were something like discussions of Plato’s philosophies and a paper comparing different approaches to existentialism. Interesting. (No, really, I LOVE this stuff.) But, catching up on my reading, mulling over these meaty topics and then designing and writing two papers in 40 hours turned out to be a little taxing. I didn’t sleep for two nights straight. I really didn't rest at all for at least 40 hours. A half hour before class started, I finished the final copies. I took them to class with hopes ...

The 3rd topic? Love or hate beer, and why. Ahhh. Beer. Love it. I pretty much can say I’ve never met a beer I didn’t like. But, as with many things in my life, I’ve become a beer snob. I’ll admit it. I’m one of those who orders the beers with the names you can’t pronounce without spitting. These are the beers you definitely CANNOT pronounce after just one or two of said beers. These are the beers you find in places that boast they have “over 367 types of beer on tap!” ( I exaggerate, or course.

Let me explain one experience from all this. This is just one of several glitches I (we all as a family) had to deal from the brain tumor. This might help explain some of our zealousness towards fighting this cancer stuff. What I consider one of the most disturbing experiences, a strong sense of not recognizing people.

This might be hours late, but I don't want to ignore any topic requests. So, finally, this one. You asked:1) Favorite vacation. Keri guessed right. It was last year's trip to new mexico. It was full of fun and laughs and talking all in that beautiful setting. To tell you the truth, it's a miracle that that vacation ever happened. And, I think that trip was the start of one of the most amazingly positive changes in my life. It will always be considered "my miracle vacation." I see it is time to do this post now. We are cruising dowmn the highway at 70 mph on the way to my apartment. (I'm not blogging and posting cause I can't drive, so this is safe.) Let's see if the blackberry will let me post this now. --HalfBraiBoy (Source: Keri - Still Running/Walking for a Reason!)

Food has been consumed. Cake is being passed around. Memory book pages are being created. Sun is shining. Laughter is being heard and is definitely happening. Guests have arrived and at least one has gone on her way. It is a party. And blogathon posts continue... apologies for their briefness. But hey, kids only graduate from high school once. I can only be in one place at one time. And I have photos to print! Later... (Source: Keri - Still Running/Walking for a Reason!)

Late again, but not completely missing. And only 6 minutes late this time. Because I was trying to post from crackberry. Won't do that again. Got all of the way to blogger before it had problems. My answer to Trudi's question... Do I like beer? Yes. Does it like me? Not particularly. I usually end up with a migraine the next day if I have more than one. So I have a couple, drink lots of water to counteract it and have a couple of advil before bed. SMOOCHES! Posting before I get any later. (Source: Keri - Still Running/Walking for a Reason!)

So here is a live update from the party. People are eating. People are drinking (mostly soda...). People are chatting and telling stories... My uncle's stories about the North Hudson gangs from the long ago days are fascinating. I hope to relate one of those later. And people are taking photos to make scrapbook pages for Jena's memory book. So the party has begun. More later from the blogathon/grad party! whoohoo!

They might be very short posts if we have difficulty because we'll be sending from the Crackberry, but post we will.I never have figured out the whole posting a photo directly to the blog from my phone, so that won't happen. But I'll take a photo as we arrive at the new destination so we have a new location photo.Need to get a couple of other things done before we head off.

After four hours we thought we’d do an update on how things are going with our Blogathon so far. Now, granted, we started collecting pledges when I first signed up a couple of weeks ago, but we’re also gathering more today, so this number will be changing as we go through the remaining 20 hours today. Blogathon numbers: 10 pledges totaling $427.46 (I’m not sure about that strange dollar amount. It must have to do with the pledge per hour or something... will keep an eye on that number and see if it changes...)Cups of coffee consumed: 3 eachFood: 1 wild rice cake, ½ apple fritter, ½ bowl cereal, 1/3 bottle naked juice (Berry Blast)Photos taken: 12We ho...

Like well-trained athletes before a big race, we have been preparing for days. As well trained blogathon athletes, of course, we got lots of sleep, engaged in quiet things to clear our minds, and, of course, rested our typing hands. NOT.We ran errands all day in the heat. We stayed up very late watching movies. We worked and flexed our brains and typed and typed. We played. We laughed. Now, it will be VERRRRRY interesting to see how we are by 2:00am tonight. For that matter, it might be interesting to see how much we are propping each other up at 2:00 this aft...

No wonder I’m so sleepy. Time for a refill and to down my juice. HalfBrainBoy has arrived. He has to work today, too. So I’m going to handle much of the day’s writing and let him do some of his real job. We’re sitting here at the coffee shop in our blogathon shirts with our blogathon mugs listening to the crazy muzak (is this Enya?) and I’m seriously ready to pull out my non-existent headphones and listen to something a little more peppy.

First, Blogathon happens once a year. Find it’s history here.And this is how they explain what a blogathon is... "Remember when you were in school and you would bowl for charity? And for every pin you knocked down you got, say, ten cents? Or run for a dollar a mile? During the Blogathon, people update their websites every 30 minutes for 24 hours straight. For this, they collect sponsorships. Pledges can be a flat donation, or a certain amount for every hour the blogger manages to stay awake."The charity we have selected to receive all donations collected, is the American Cancer Society (big ...
