So… this is the redux of my Blogathon 2009 experience.

Good
-participating this year even though I didn’t think I’d be able to.
-doing as well as I did fundraising — I count my number of sponsors as evidence of that.
-getting to be the charity liaison for the event.
-having a laptop that did not overheat and go out during the event.
-making it through though I’d had less than 4 hours of sleep over 48 hours by the time all was said and done.
-not having to dance the Timewarp on crutches this year
-watching people mortify themselves in the Blogathon Karaoke Challenge
-Drew & Sam’s visit

Bad
-being so out of it that I couldn’t walk straight or type coherently by the time all was said and done.
-the stifling heat of my study
-the difficulty in re-telling my story because it’s still painful
-my camera went dead early on so nothing exciting from me in the Blogathon photostream after awhile
-did not get through the projects I planned

Different for Next Year
-have wifi in the parsonage so I can change rooms to blog
-different charity (I change yearly)
-more drinking of water and less caffeine
-plan healthier snacks

You can pledge me until Friday by clicking on all the sponsor me links. I’ll probably close out comments on entries next week so that I don’t have a year of spam sitting in my Blogathon email.
