So excited! To The Little Hockey Player You are small for your age, pale as milk with crazy thick glasses like Steve Urkel, a TV character you are too young to remember.

I already won one of the $20 gift certificates they give to enterrants randomly. If I win the top prize I will split it with my friend's school for students...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/cripfemme1244/628950In addition to being active in the disability rights movement, I am also active in the Massachusetts Green-Rainbow Party, the state affiliate of the national Green Party.

I have educated my fellow members on various...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/cripfemme1244/592609I sent in my joy poem; this is a link to an early draft. I hope I win the prizes are gift certificates to a local bookstore- $100, $50, $25. It's not money, but as much as I love books (and spend money on them) it might as well be.https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/cripfemme1244/268518Author's Note: I know this is not a typical submission entry, as it's not an article, story, or book, but I think a conference purposal counts as written work and it's my blog, so I make the rules. I found out today that my presention was accepted, so I'm off to Africa (for free!) in late...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/cripfemme1244/257981My article On Institutional Bias is up on Reach Out Magazine's website.

I guess they liked that one better than my last one. I still can't figure why though. I've decided not care. Money is money at this point. Good Lord, I'm becoming jaded!https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/cripfemme1244/231918I'm disheartened to report that Write for Cash didn't accept my article on time management tools. I'm the quueen of time management and multi-tasking among my friends, so I felt a bit insulted. Personally, I thought I'd taken an interesting, offbeat approach to the topic, but the editor (I guess)...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/cripfemme1244/231561I'm being paid $10 for an article I wrote for Write for Cash entitled How to budget for children of each age group.
