This morning, I woke up and still had my lovely migraine so I stayed home again. And didn't go to the gym...again. I'm just hoping I still have a job tomorrow! (I'm only half-joking.) So anyway, my day consisted of Bravo reality tv and Facebook.
If you read my previous post, you know that my family had the opportunity to visit the Chimp Sanctuary NW. We have all become obsessed with the chimps...reading their blog, watching the videos and being FB friends with Sarah, the executive director of the sanctuary. This morning, she posted a blog about how Dancing with the Stars was going to have a chimp on the show tonight predicting the winner of the show. Basically using an innocent animal for entertainment purposes. She asked everyone to write an email to the executive producer to try to get him to scrap the segment. I figured it wouldn't hurt, but I also thought that he wouldn't give a shit either. Much to my surprise, he actually emailed me back an hour later! Not only did he email me back, but he canceled the chimp segment! Apparently, it was already filmed last week so he couldn't help the fact that it was already done but he canceled it because he didn't want to perpetuate the use of chimps or other wild animals as entertainment. I really couldn't believe it. I feel like I saved the world today! Here's their website again: Chimp Sanctuary NW. They could really use any donations of any kind. Blankets, toys, food and most of all MONEY. If you can, please donate to them. The staff and volunteers work so hard to provide a great life for the chimps and they can use any donation you have.
Tomorrow, back to work and Antonio at 5:30. I'm actually really ready to get back in the gym. I feel like I've been dead to the world the last 2 days. Blech.
