Today's FFF is about me. Would you expect anything less from me? Don't answer that question.
So today I'm going to build a house. I'm building a house with my bare hands. I'm excited. I can't say I have ever built a house. My office is volunteering for Habitat for Humanity. Did you know:
Habitat began as an idea in the 1960s in Americus, Georgia. Since then, Habitat has built nearly 300,000 houses around the world. Yup it's true. I stole this information straight from their website.
Hopefully, I won't cut something off or nail a finger. I'll have a full report Monday.

Oooh, good time! Totally something I want to do one of these days.
I think I'm going to start making it a priority to do something "big" for someone else once a year. Like 2009, I really want to do the Susan G Komen 3-day. So maybe for 2010 I'll do HFH?
DH did HFH once, he had a good time. I did a thing called Christmas in April where we went and fixed up a house for an older woman...it was fun, we painted, we did minor construction...we got tired. LOL!
Thats pretty awesome, and good idea TC (one big thing a year).
Thanks Scotty! I'm sure I can count on you to help donate and make the 3-day a reality? :)
Renee- I did Christmas in April a few times. It was fun.
TC- Sounds like a great goal. I think you should do the 3-day for sure. Actually, I'd do it with you. Find one in the middle and we can meet, and Scotty can sponsor us!
Oh you are sooooooooo on! I'm totally looking for a walking partner :)

oooh! Do the Denver one! You could stay with me and I could do it with you. hee hee!
So, Do you still have 10 fingers?
Denver is kind of in the middle for us...
Denver is in the middle for us. I say Denver and it's in August...it will be nice outside.
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!
(You ladies do realize I'm very serious about this, right?)
YUP! I'll clean up the place for you too.
Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds good to me. I'm in!
Wait, what happened to Sandy Eggo!?
I didn't know we were going to Sandy Eggo. I've never been there.
Sorry Scotty: you were a bit late to the game and Renee spoke up to get us to Denver before you threw Sandy Eggo into the ring.
WHA?!
TC, we're so cool that people are fighting over us. HA!
I KNOW!!! haha
Besides Scotty, perhaps your geography fails a bit, but she said "in the middle." Sandy Eggo is most definitely NOT in the middle of Wisconsin and Oklahoma.
:)
Hmmm... I could argue the weather would be better :)
You could... but it won't do you any good :)
Petition for HFH in 2010 out your way. You aren't going to win 2009.
YEA Scotty, what TC said! :)
Humph.
I think we made Scotty a little pouty today :-D
Scotty don't cry...you can try for 2010.
That has the potential to be a catchy song...
