MADD

yesterday i made it over to M.A.D.D. slightly after 530pm.
i found them on craigslist.org and then again 5 min away from my work.
we slipped ribbons in flyers they're going to hand out at the seahawks game on monday.
i did 500 in 2.5hrs. (my fingers hurt so much that when i came home to knit, i was like - what the heck am i doing!? those carpal tunnel exercises don't seem too silly now!)
did i pick them on purpose?
considering i couldn't even count how many times i got busted and scolded for driving buzzed - no.
but i do feel like i got something out of it.
i got to hear some lady ask me if i was also in high school (3 other volunteers were in high school)........!?
i got to hear stories swapped of ppl. w/alcoholic family members and i got to see a really strong lady who was a survivor. she was one of their outreach reps. i'm going to go in to help them with a project - i'm estimating a few more times throughout this yr. i like to avg closer to 1/wk. i'm hoping that in working with them that i'll think twice about driving buzzed esp on the slick roads.

it was hard requesting to come into work on wednesday and friday considering the office would be closed but.....oh well..............*sighhhhhhhh* wish you could read my mind.
