My design...I can't get it right!!
I have been changing the template and design on my blog alot this week b/c I am not satisfied with the appearance of my blog.
I NEED HELP!! I am going to keep trying until I get it right.
Until then...I am sorry for the constant change...I should have left it the way I had it before I decided to mess with it. I lost a lot of the cool additions I had such as links to my fave blogs and such.
Anyhoo...a lot of you have been leaving regular comments again like you use to back when I started this blog over a year ago. Keep those comments coming because I NEED THEM to help me with my anxiety.
Blogger and this acct has helped me more with my anxiety than any therapy I've ever gone through. Because of the nature of anxiety...its extremely difficult to open up to a therapists and its easy to miss appointments because of avoidance of social interaction. With this acct I get to socialize and open up and get advice and share advice and I actually put into practice what I learn from all of you.
Moreover, the encouragement is priceless!! So thank you and I am still working on that Youtube acct and the Radio show.
Should I start my radio show tonight????
Let me know but since no one replied to my request for preferred show times I think I will go with Friday nights...late night...on www.blogtalkradio.com/painfullyshy

BLOGATHON
I signed up for the blogathon last year but I missed the date. Hopefully they have another blogathon coming up so I can participate. I chose an Anxiety Disorder related organization to donate to. I will do the same next time.
To learn more visit their website at http://www.blogathon.org/
Here is some info:
HISTORY OF THE BLOGATHON:
How did all this get started?
In the summer of 2000, blogger Cat Connor decided that a free weekend could be combined with a marathon session of insomnia to have some fun with her personal website. In fact, Cat decided to update frytopia every 15 minutes for an entire 24 hours, for a total of 96 posts over the course of a single day.
Armed only with a stack of movies and a case of Mountain Dew, Cat plunged headfirst into a day's worth of blogging and wound up surviving it well enough -- even earning some notoriety among her blogging associates along the way.
Along with her newfound attention, Cat came to a realization: staying up all night to update her website could represent a lot more than a caffeine-and-cinema-drenched exercise in butt-numbness. Or, in the more eloquent words of Cat herself, "I've always felt the best thing about the web was its ability to affect the real world. The web can be a major force for good."
Thus, Blogathon was born. The first annual event occurred in 2001, when Cat invited friends and other bloggers to join her in her sleepless marathon. Over a hundred participants stayed awake on July 28 and 29, some doing so in spectacular fashion: there were virtual mix tapes, physical collages, shoes aplenty, and even dreams for the sleepy. Altogether, bloggers raised over $20,000 for 77 different charities in 2001 and garnered even more attention than Cat had on her own the year before, prompting her to confirm Blogathon's perennial nature: 2001's success outstripped all my expectations, so we're here for good."
For 2002, Cat put together a team to help her build on that success, and get even more people involved. "Creating an international community over the course of 24 hours--one with a single purpose--is something that can only happen on the web. It makes the web magical. I'd love to see it become absolutely huge, though I admit I'm a little intimidated by it as well," she said.
The second annual event saw the inclusion of highlighted charities, a automated backend for the Blogathon site, and even more gimmicks ranging from posting in Haiku, to uploading a retrospective biography via photographs, to writing a novel. The number of bloggers more than doubled, and the event raised over $50,000 charities around the world.
Numbers again doubled in 2003, with over $100,000 raised for charity. 2004 saw a break for the official Blogathon, with Project-Blog taking over for a year. in 2005, staff from previous Blogathons took over, bringing in over $58,000.
In 2006 year, the original administrator, Cat Connor, returned. She brought Rob Drimmie, her programmer from '02, and Sheana Director, who handled the event in '05.
This year, Rob had other obligations (*waves to Harvey*), so Cat did the coding herself, with Sheana taking on more admin duties. Heather and Pandora also added some admin duties to their Team Leader jobs. With fantastic, spunky art by Ryan Estrada, the 2007 Blogathon is bright, hopeful, and going great guns.

You´re Beautiful Lyrics (James Blunt)
(Something happened to me on the train today that hasn't happened in a long time...I'm not sure why it hasn't happened...maybe its because my boyfriend and I go everywhere together (we're inseparable)...or maybe its because I've gained weight...or maybe its because I spent almost 2 years in Arizona and times have changed in NY...or maybe Arizona is just different and it didn't quite happen in the same way out there...or maybe I am starting to look more intimidating rather than friendly, shy, and sweet (if you can put friendly and shy in the same phrase)...or maybe its just me...but something happened to me on the train that hasn't happened in well...possibly over 3 years...
A total stranger came up to me as I exited the train and told me that he had been admiring me on the train and that I am ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! I wasn't attracted to him at all but I was so HAPPY...so here is my tribute below:)
James Blunt - You're Beautiful
My life is brilliant.
My life is brilliant
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
Yes, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fucking high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last 'till the end.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
La la la la la la la la la
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

VACATION DAYS...USE 'EM OR LOSE 'EM
I have 7 vacation days to use all this month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First 2 days are this Thursday and Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm thrilled but I wish I were going away. I had planned on going to Florida to visit one of my sisters on my father's side. Since he passed, we've been talking about me going down there for a few holi-days.
I'm broke though. My brother was robbed of a very expensive item and I'm helping him replace it. This was sooo unexpected but he was devastated by the robbery and if I don't help him he will basically not get this item back for a long time.
Until then
