Swimsuit and Towel Drive... and GAGA!

Yesterday was the official introduction of Gaga to BigHouse! I think it went well.  There were one or two angry storm offs and a few times someone was NOT hit, even though they clearly were, but all in all I think everyone enjoyed it.  I think it is gonna be good here.  It doesnt take a lot of skill or practice and you can play with as many or as few people as we have. 

We are also really gearing up for our swimsuit and towel drive.  If you don't already know about it, we are collecting a swimsuit and towel for every foster child in the state of Alabama, and then embroidering their name on the towel to make it extra special!  There are about 6,000 children in foster care in our state right now, so that is a lot of swimsuits, towels, and embroidering!  Thanks to my mom and grandmother, we are off to a pretty good start though, they have been dominating the Trussville area collecting and finding embroiderers.   We have several other city/regional coordinators throughout the state, so hopefully things will really start humming the next few weeks.  We want to have everything collected and embroidered by May 14, when we will have  a huge packing party in Trussville. We still have a long way to go, but I am confident God and the good folks of Alabama will help us get this done. 

So I just re read what I typed, and I think my brain moves faster than I can type.  I know exactly what I was trying to say, but when I read it, some of it was a jumbled mess of words I am not really sure how they got there.  That also happened on my journal I kept when I was in Europe.  My granddad read it and told me it was interesting but I needed to fix all the grammatical errors. Ha, I really didnt know what he was talking about until I went back later and read through it... it was pretty confusing in some parts, and really, kinda embarrassing.  I did write most of it late at night or on a train somewhere, usually when I was pretty tired and looking forward to resting, so that probably contributed to some of it.  I guess it could also be that I don't know all of the grammar rules, that was always the worst part of English class, however, I usually can read something and know whether or not it sounds correct.  I guess I don't proof read much, so that is probably why my own writing is usually not correct, ha. Anyways, I am rambling about nothing.  If youre still reading this, you should leave a comment and buy a swimsuit or towel or both!
