I am doing this meme because I Kathy said so and I love her so I shall comply.

1. What charity are you blogging for, and why? I am blogging for the UNHCR because of all the work they do for so many displaced people around the world. I complain frequently about my life – not all of it of course, but the wah, this sucks part. But the people helped by the UNHCR are beyond anything I’ve ever had to go through. Of course, I care about the men and women too, but a great deal of refugees are children. The thought of innocent children who flee their homes because of war and fear of persecution, who end up in refugee camps in other countries and can’t return home, who saw their families killed or don’t know their location, who are hungry and sick and terrified… the thought destroys me. The money raised by the UNHCR allows them to give these children – and adult refugees too – clothes, shelter, medical attention, and the chance to try to find their families. I can’t say enough good things about them.

2. What’s been the hardest part of the Blogathon for you, so far? Well, it’s still “only” 1:20 am, so the hardest part is yet to come. So far the hardest has been the fact that I started out tired. It was also pretty tough juggling the kids, supper, and the ‘thon at once, but I did it!

3. Did you have a sponsorship goal? Have you met it? (Use this space for shameless panhandling. It’s OK. I told you to.) I wanted to raise more than I did the last time, so more than $300. At this time I am up to $1300+ and I am overwhelmed by the generosity. I can’t thank my sponsors enough. And though I certainly more than exceeded my goals, you can obviously still sponsor me no matter how little it is. However, if I don’t get another pledge from here on, I am more than thrilled with what I’m raising.

4. What’s been fun for you, so far? Following my friends, getting comments from friends and new people alike, and finding new reads.

5. Have you met anyone new and cool? Yes! Shirt Ninja!

6. Assuming it were possible, would you choose, right now, to time-travel back to the beginning of the Blogathon, with an unflagging supply of energy, or to the end, exhausted but finished? Take me to the end, baby.

7. What have you been eating today? Mostly my regular fare, healthy-ish meals and drinking lots of water. I usually have a few cookies or chocolate at night but tonight I will be eating more than normal. 🙂

8. So… whatcha wearing? A smile. Ha! No, a pink nightgown.

9. Quick! Three truths and a lie: I sang background on a hiphop song once. I did something illegal with Corey Haim. I went scuba diving off the coast of Mexico. I stole a flag right out of the cup on the 9th hole on a golf course.

10. What do you most want, right this second? (Use this space for shameless begging, as well. Who knows? There may be a Blogathon fairy!) A house. Got one of those lying around?

Okay make your guesses on number nine, though I know that some people already know some of the answers.
