a little bit of OCD

they say that everyone has a little bit of OCD in them.  i do believe that we have talked about this before. 
WELL, my dear friend (we'll call him PHILLY BEAR so that things remain anonymous) has a lot of OCD.  but in the best, most organized way. 
when i was last with philly bear, i was checking my email and he was disgusted to see that i hadn't permanently deleted the spam from my junk mail and my deleted folder.  he proceeded to show me just how easy it was.
"see, junk mail, select all, delete. deleted, select all, delete.  now your email and your world are less cluttered!"

he was right.  i now find myself constantly deleting my junk and deleted folders.  i don't know why.  it just feels like the right thing to do.

thanks philly bear ;) 

every little bit helps.

 so i've told you about my friends lindsay and phil before.  they are a wonderful couple who are raising money to support team diabetes and will be running a marathon in ICELAND this summer with team diabetes.  lindsay's sister has type 2 diabetes, so she is doing this for her.  

anyway, the reason i bring it up is because they are still looking for donations.  and with easter coming up, instead of buying a bunch of chocolate, why not donate to this AMAZING couple and cause?!  it's easy to do.  just click HERE.  type in Lindsay or Phillip Parkinson. 

AND, you can even do it anonymously!  this week, they received a very generous donation from an anonymous donor.  kind of fun and intriguing i think!  so GO AHEAD!  donate today.  it will make you feel great!  

 and who really likes that waxy bunny chocolate anyway???
