Hi everyone. I'm totally missing home today. I dreamt about family, friends, and places in Seattle all evening, it seemed like. I think homesickness is one of those things you have to let run it's course. I think it gets better with time, but also with the establishment of community and friends. A friend of mine suggested writing letters and or postcards to combat home sickness, it seems like a good suggestion and a fun activity. However; I don't have many of your addresses. If you're interested you can send me your address in an email and I can write you. :) Also, I just started a new project today, in solidarity with my friend Brynn who is giving Breast Cancer the smack down. She is an amazing, strong, brave, and creative woman. Read on :)
A friend of mine whom I use to work with at The Seattle Children's Theatre has started a support project related to her recovery from breast cancer this year. It's called The 33 Days Project. She is going to get radiation every day for 33 days Monday-Friday, taking Saturday and Sunday off. This is a direct quote from her blog that explains how the challenge works:
"Here is my challenge for you. Do a specific action every day for 33 days in a row (taking the weekend off). The only stipulation is that it can't be something you already do (brushing you teeth doesn't count) and it should take you between 5-30 minutes. Cause, getting zapped should only take me about 5 minutes total, but the whole experience takes about a half hour."
If you go to her blog (link on the right) you can read more about the project and see what people are doing for 33 days. I have decided to participate in her project and document the progress of my activity. I'm working on a complicated 1000 piece puzzle called The Shakespeare Poster by James Christensen. I hope to finish it in 33 days. I'm also gonna take pictures of my progress and put them up on my blog. I just started the puzzle last night and it's going well so far. It took me like an hour to turn all the pieces right side up. man. But, it will be fun.
In other news, I'm working on a post about local Madison food. It's taking a while to finish, but It will be up soon.
Love,
Sarah

That’s great that you’re doing the project. I most likely will to. My grandmother died from breast cancer when I was 4. My mom and I always do the Breast Cancer walk in Oct. in honor of her and everyone who is fighting this disease. I wish her the best.
Hey! I have decided to also participate in the project: I started one of Argentina's most famous and complex novels last night and hope to finish it within the 33 day time period. I've been watching far too much TV and hope this motivates me to get back to my reading roots! Question: Is it 33 days including weekends or no? Basically, what day does it end? Good luck with the puzzle!
I'm so glad that the both of you are going to participate. Good luck with the project. Yill, That's so exciting that you and your mom are doing the Breast Cancer walk in October! You have my support :)
