I am putting together a donation of goods to send to refugees of Hurricane Katrina that are being housed on the campus of Louisiana State University. I have a contact who is a student at LSU and is working at the shelters, where she says supplies are not coming in fast enough. As I’m sure you already know, thousands of refugees from New Orleans have been moved out of the city and are being relocated to places like Baton Rouge, which were not hit as badly. Though organizations are working day and night, some supplies are getting caught in the politics of these organizations and not getting to the people that need them the most.
I will be sending out packages throughout the weekend. Jessi said she needs socks, shoes of all sizes, baby clothes, elastic waistband pants, games for kids, dog food…basically anything. The first one is going out tonight. Anything you could give would be wonderful, even if it’s just postage for the packages. Please e-mail me at megan@crazybananas.com if you have any questions or would like to donate.

All I really got done tonight was uploading from the Float Trip. And it took me about a zillion starburst just to have the energy to do this. I am a lazy piece of crap.
After this weekend’s Floatarama, I have realized the mass quantity of crap that I must complete before heading off for the Memorial Day Weekend (a.k.a. The Weekend with All the Parents and the Nephews and the Nieces and the Dogs and the New Home Construction and, of course, the Beer). I am a person who is constantly thinking of all of the things I have to do, to a point where in college I kept a post-it book in my car so I could take these grand thoughts and stick them to anything that may catch my attention later when I’ve completely forgotten about them. Flash to the future, where I keep these lists on my blog so the world can see my procrastination in action.
-Clean all the trash, dog hair, beer bottles, pink bridesmaid dresses, etc. out of my car.
-Unpack from Floatarama Version 2.0, including drying all of the wet clothes that were stuffed into a trash bag and emptying the cooler that contains all the dog food, the dry bag that didn’t stay very dry and the remaining cans of Dr. Thunder.
-Do some laundry so I can actually wear underwear on a daily basis and so my towels don’t smell like my grandmother’s basement.
-Wash the lake smell off the dog, and remove her Bud Lite beads that she got for flashing her eight nipples at a fellow floating dog this weekend.
-Plow my way through the massive pile of work related publications I was supposed to read over the weekend, but conveniently “forgot” to take with me.
-Design a new masthead for this site. Any ideas?
-Buy my mother a birthday present, since I pretty much forgot her birthday and now we’re going to see her this weekend. I think she’s under the impression I was just waiting so I could see her face when she opens it. I will let her believe this because I am an evil child.
