This is a shot in the dark, but oh why not. I am seeking corporate sponsors for my Relay for Life for the American Cancer Society to match fundraising or make a contribution. If you happen to work for a company that might be willing to be a sponsor, I would love to hear from you.
Here’s a link to my Relay page.

There’s something to be said for presence. Not every moment needs to be this huge momentous scenario. There’s a lot of value to just being in the same room with someone.
To say that the last few days spending time with Julie was both needed and fantastic is probably doing it a disservice. It was excellent, above and beyond excellent, and I will value this past weekend for a long, long...

I went back to the gym today. I had slacked. It showed. I need to keep myself motivated to keep going back.
I have a bunch of Wolverine figures and toys (including a remote control motorcycle with Logan riding it!) and I pretty much need to get rid of them. Hit my ask box if you’re interested, and I’ll quote you a price (they are all mint condition, never removed from original...

Thank you
I was not aware of John’s secret pledgie campaign for Julie when I started this one (leaving it available for two more days and then closing it out).
The overwhelming love, support, and generosity you have shown, whether you donated to John’s, mine, or both, has been beyond amazing. I honestly have trouble putting it all into words. It means so much especially in a time of...

The ladies are off collecting Jessica.
I’m cooking dinner.
Despite the news today, this is going to be a great weekend. You can send good thoughts and love her way. That is the best thing any one of us can do right now. She is an awesome fighting kickass superninja and this will be okay.
Back to the stove.

I haven’t had an oven in like two weeks and it’s REALLY cramping my dinner cooking style. The stove top still works but man, I miss being able to bake stuff.
This week has felt fractured and out of control thus far. I need tomorrow to be relatively calm before I go pick up Christa.
Hell is other people. (None of you, this is strictly the hell-people at work right now).
I’m...

If I’ve been playing you in Scramble with Friends, I’m quitting the games because it’s like nails down a chalkboard for me right now. Yuck. Are you mad at me, circle yes or no?
I do find Hanging with Friends relaxing right now though and if you want to play, my user name is me*julie. (booyakasha)
If you’re looking to whip up on someone at Scramble in the meantime, I am...

All I’ve watched on television this weekend could be put into two categories. Harry Potter movies and sports. Oh, well, and an Office rerun at 3:30 this morning (Survivorman). I would say this has been a wildly successful weekend of viewing, quite frankly.
This is going to be a busy week. I’m hoping the new desk arrives either Tuesday or Wednesday. The end of the week is me and three...

This blog belongs to the artist formerly known as lauralizcurran. I’m going to be slowly easing myself into being a “blogger” and this is where you can find my random musings.
I was a lot of fun on my former blog, and I solemnly promise to be at least half as much fun on this blog. I lost a lot of people when I deleted, so if you see this on your dashboard, please reblog so...

I am overwhelmed by all of you. The pledgie for Julie’s medical expenses has been going for just a few days and the number raised is just…stunning.
Thank you. That doesn’t seem like saying enough, but seriously, thank you. It’s incredible, excellent, and a true show of generosity and caring. I’m going to let it run through the end of February. The gestures of...

Please read - Thanks.
Julie could use our help.
As you know, Julie is currently undergoing radiation treatments to her brain for stage IV breast cancer. She has been fighting this battle since April 2010 and has shared it with us along the way. She will continue chemotherapy and whatever treatments are needed once she’s through with her radiation treatments. These treatments have left her in a state where even...

I had a conversation with my boss last week about how de-motivational work has been lately. Like, their latest thing is that we’re supposed to fill out these “career development” forms and submit them so the supervisors know what it is you’re interested in doing if you stay at the Big O.
I don’t know about you guys, but I work for money. Plain and simple. I’m...
