fundraiser & other stuff

this weekend is the BASV (burbank animal shelter volunteers) annual fundraiser. i am working as the volunteer coordinator for the event, as well as housing a litter of 5 kittens till i leave for nyc. i get my new babies in a few minutes here. i'll snap some shots for y'all.

in other news, it's HOT. what the hell happened to fall??

also, while awaiting my car from the mechanic today (yes, the new one!) i was at the gym on the treadmill. i was jamming to some music, eyes zoning out on the cnn broadcast on the t.v. opposite me.... and suddenly they flash up breaking news about 2 small planes colliding in NE ohio. my ex's dad is a pilot and has his own plane or two, lives in the area.... i immediately thought of him and the possibilities of one of those planes being his.... at any rate, i haven't found out any specific details yet except that they think there were about 5 people involved and it seems as though everyone died. so...yuck.

strange how you can snap right back into being worried about/concerned for someone who was important in your life at some point. even though i'm not so fond of either guy at this point, i hope it wasn't him or anyone he knows.... i know he/his family would handle that badly in spite of their dysfunctional relationships (or perhaps because of it). and that kind of tragedy just sucks. wouldn't wish it on anyone.
