WAY overdue

I hadn't been able to post lately because of the stupid finger surgery and then class, etc. So.....

El Día de San Valentín: So, I'm up at 4 in the morning after Vantine's Day. Why, you ask? Sugar high. I've been eating sweets nonstop and that's OK. :-) I went to the movies with the fam this evening and it was great. My sister went off with her boyfriend and my mom, dad and I went to see Taken. Now, I say my dad went with us bet he just slept through the whole movie. So..... I basically spent Valentine's Day with my mommy. You may say sad..... I say perfect. We laughed, we gasped, we cried, we ate tons of popcorn and candy. It was FABULOUS. 

This week was kinda fun. I got my stitches taken out and now I just have to wear a splint most of the time. I can take it off to choser and it's much smaller than the BIG cast I had before. I can wear long sleeve shirts again! Wooo! Class was fun too. Today, I submitted my first article as a staff writer to the school newspaper. Let's see..... what else.... oh! I started working out again. I'm taking a cross country conditioning class in an effort to try to get back into marathon running shape. I'm excited and VERY sore. That, combined with the swim workout class ill be taking from march to june should ensure that I have a rockin' summer bod :-)

Dear Arnoldo, Anti-equality groups are currently flooding the Capitol with threatening phone calls demanding members of the Senate and Assembly Judiciary committees oppose the two resolutions to overturn Prop 8 when they come up for a vote on Tuesday. We cannot let their attacks and threats go unanswered! We need to make sure that legislators hear from those who support equality. Please call key members of the Senate and Assembly Judiciary Committeeswho have supported LGBT equality in the past (sample script and phone numbers are below). Ask them to support the resolutions to overturn Prop 8 to protect all minorities from the risk of losing their rights at the ballot box. If passed, the two EQCA-sponsored resolutions, SR 7 and HR 5, authored by two of our champions in the Legislature, Senator Mark Leno and Assemblymember Tom Ammiano, will put the California Legislature on record as supporting the invalidation of Prop 8, declaring it an illegal revision to the state constitution. This is our fourth of five actions leading up to our giant lobby day to overturn Prop 8 on Tuesday, the day of the vote, when over 2,000 activists will come together at the Capitol to urge their lawmakers to support these critical resolutions. Take Action Today! Call Now! In solidarity, Geoff Kors Executive Director Equality California   Sample Script Thank you for past support for equality.  My name is [Your Name] and I am calling to ask for you to vote in favor of SR 7 / HR 5 because Prop 8 is a drastic and radical revision to the California Constitution that puts all Californians at risk. I believe in equal protection under the law and do not want a simple majority of voters to be able to take fundamental rights away from any minority. Thank you.
