Hi everyone!

So, check it out: my Mom has decided to do something crazy!  She's training to RUN A MARATHON in January 2006!  I know most of you don't know her personally, but she's overweight, out of shape, and basically quite lazy (but of course I love her anyway), so this is a HUGE thing for her.

She's joined The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training program.  Everyone at Team In Training is raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives.

For more information or to support her efforts by making a 100% tax-deductible contribution to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, please visit her fundraising page here:

On behalf of Mom, myself and everyone at Team In Training and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, thank you for your support!

And now, back to ME!

I've been looking a little scruffy lately, but Mom said she's going to start adding some extra healthy snacks to the stuff she leaves out for me to see if she can get me back to my usual handsome self!

I'm feeling fine and enjoying the hot summer days, but I've lost a few feathers and look a little moth-eaten, oops!  I'm not used to being anything less than 100% GORGEOUS all the time (right now I'm only 99% gorgeous, yikes)!

Are you hiding anything yummy in your hand?

I bet you have PEANUTS!!!
