Looking Back

I just spent the morning re-reading past posts on here and think it might be time to clue everyone, including myself, in on where I am in life...

To start off, my dog is still the cutest dog ever. My parents are scheming up ways that they can keep him for themselves. They have tried many things. My room mate just got a dog so my parents tried the..."Well, Randy won't like the new dog, so he should probably stay with us" line. Nice try, guys. I would even go so far as to say that my parents talked Shannon into getting a dog to keep Randy for themselves...nice try guys.

About Africa...I haven't been back since May 2004 and have the itch to get back there...or maybe it's just the itch to leave the country...or the itch to do some good? Hmm...Looks like I won't be going back to Africa for the rest of this year...unless I can get a trip in there in December, but I doubt that. Although, I have never been in December and would like to do that for a change. Manna from Heaven (the 501 c 3) is just getting started in the US...a group of women are heading it up...my mom and her three wonderful and goofy friends. They are all great and I love them to death...I should post a picture of them...anyways, they will be doing fundraisers and my dad will donate $10 from every client on safari with Ker and Downey to Manna from Heaven. These women will then take all of the money to Africa to buy food, clothes, soccer balls, etc. for the people with AIDS over there.

On a different note about Africa...previously I had started a "Send Haley to Africa to see the Gorillas" fund or something like that. I didn't get much response to that...actually, none, so I am going to have another go at it but this time it is the "Send Haley Climbing" Fund. I am going to climb Kilimanjaro and have one of my very good friends that is going to go with me. Together, we are going to tackle that mountain...ahh...I can't wait. I should just move to Africa. Then I wouldn't have to pay for all those pesky airline tickets.

Alright...I am having a brain fart and can't remember what else I was going to say...it happens.
