My ideal living situation.

My living situation couldn't be more perfect right now. I am a quick 10 minute drive from work, 15 minute bus ride downtown, walking distance from a park, laundry mat, and grocery store, and am only paying $280 a month in rent.

I'm living with two girls, Katelyn and Liz. They are both about my age and are really awesome. The place is quiet during the week and because we are on opposite schedules I get the place to myself a lot of the time which is nice because it's so small. And, it is better than living alone because I get to hang out with them on the weekends so I don't get too lonely when I have time off!

Probably one of the best things about it is that they both work in the food industry. Liz brings home bread all the time from the bakery she works at and fresh produce twice a week from the Farmer's market that she gets for trading leftover bread. Katelyn works at a natural foods store and brings home all kinds of goodies that she waits for to go on sale. And I am able to buy the rest of the stuff we need with food stamps. Also, Aunt Carrie gave me her sourdough recipe and sourdough starter so I'm eating fresh pita bread with all my salads! You will all be happy to know that I am very nutrient rich!

Love, Danielle

Race for the Cure

As stated in a previous post, I will be running the Race for the Cure in Austin on November 7! I have been working really hard to get into shape and am running 28 minutes straight. I have a fundraising goal of $125 and hope to exceed it in the next month. If you would like to help me reach my goal and add meaning to what I'm doing, you can give at: http://austin.info-komen.org/site/TR/Events?px=7714622&pg=personal&fr_id=1985&s_src=boundlessfundraising&s_subsrc=11512666&refresh=1.com. If you would like to give but would prefer to write a check, you can make it payable to Komen Austin Race for the Cure and send it to me at 106 A W. 38^th St, Austin, TX, 78705.

Thanks a lot!

Danielle
