Tutu's for Tuesday

I came across a blog about a month ago where I was introduced to a sweet 2 year old named Tuesday that was sent home to die because her cancer had taken over and chemo was no longer going to help. She died 2 or 3 days later. I was so upset that I wanted to share her story with others. I told a girl at work, Becca, about it where she continued to follow the blog as well. She came attached to this little girl and her family without ever meeting them and is now donating her time and money to make Tutu's for Tuesday where $5 of the proceeds will go towards research. I tell you this so that you might help with the donations and plus you'll get a way cute Tutu out of it for any little girl you might know that loves to dress up.
You can order them through this www.TutusForTuesday.etsy.com

I do everything my older sister does

1. I wish I could go to lunch with my sisters at least once a week
2. I'm really in the mood for warm weather and a beach
3. I'm addicted to blogging
4. My bed and toilet are my best friend right now
5. I hate school and I know I should go back
6. I only finished a term in college, that's not even a whole semester. Does that even count?
7. I met Joe when I was 15
8. I can't explain things to people to save my life
9. My hands sweat really bad, especially when I'm nervous or think about putting lotion on during the summer
10. I love wearing sanuk's (it's a shoe/sandal)
11. I love going shopping with other people for them. There's nothing more fun then spending other peoples money.
12. I love buying people presents and want a BIG reaction out of them when I give it to them. I will literally ask at the least 15 times if they like what I got them if they didn't give me a good enough reaction
13. Sad thing is i'm bad at giving reactions when people give me things.
14. I had a paper route from the age 9 to 15.
15. I was grounded for a month(from literally everything! tv, friends, music, etc...) for not getting home in time for my paper route so to get back at my dad I would play tennis by myself in the garage and hit the inside wall to the living room so my dad would hear it and get on his nerves. Little did I know, my dad can't hear and it didn't bother him one bit.
16. I don't like hugs and the only hugs I give are to my sister to bother her and course Joe.
17. I love that my husband is a pilot and is going to fly big planes some day.
18. I love having family around, I wish we all lived closer.
19. I love being a part of a big family.
20. I think there's nothing cuter then to have my 4 year old niece call me and have a 20 min. conversation about life. She is the smartest little girl I have ever met.
21. I'm not a fan of Obama and I wished McCain would have won.
22. I wish I had something sweet to eat right at this moment.
23. There's nothing more exciting to me then to see my sisters face when I give her all of my clothes I don't want.
24. My dad is my hero.
25. I can say I ran a marathon with my dad and finished at the exact same time with my dad.
