It looks like there is one person going with me to DC for Resolve's Advocacy Day and maybe one other if she can raise enough money for the trip. We're sharing a hotel room so that will help with costs.
I've posted on facebook about it and even created an event for it. I sent out an email to family and friends to people who are not on facebook. Most people have been overwhelmingly supportive or overwhelmingly silent. One of the silent ones is my mother. I emailed her last week about it and haven't heard a peep from her since. As part of my fundraising efforts I'm selling tickets to Belk's Charity Day Sale. We get $5 for every ticket sold. Before the email, I asked my mom if she wanted to buy a ticket and that it was helping me raise money for a trip to DC. She didn't ask what the trip was about, and acted put out that I even asked her to buy a ticket. Oh well. At least I have great friends that I can count on. And my in-laws treat me just like family. I've been very lucky in that regard.
In other news, I just finished my third week on weight watchers. As of today I've lost 4.6 pounds. I've been updating my other blog with the details. www.fighttheforkmonster.com. Again - there are pics of me from the neck down in spandex. You've been warned.
