keep up the RAKs

we've been staying busy with the RAKs! Tucker has even has gotten involved! Our apartment has a parking garage and this past week the doors were broken so the poor concierge had to sit outside(ish) and check every one's parking pass before they could enter. It was really cold too!! Tucker and I went out for a walk and he decided that he wanted to bring the the guy (name, tbd) some hand warmers. Isn't he so sweet?



so excited that he has his teeth out.



 anxious to complete his first RAK. (PS- nice chewed molding. thanks, tuck.)

RC and I did some winter cleaning and donated two full bags of clothes!!

abercrombie sweater from 1997. i was 12.

abercrombie sweater to the face after my age comment. whoops

the monkey is a big help... or just big.

if only I was allowed in there without RC supervision...

looks like a lot of people had the same idea!

how great are these things!? So convenient!

We eventually got all of the clothes in the box. No thanks to me. We also scored some cheap dog food to bring to the shelter along with a very expensive dog bed that Tucker doesn't understand how to use/not eat/not rip/etc. So off to the SPCA it went!

discount section of Safeway. it's weird but great for this stuff.

While I was in Florida for work I still had RAK on the brain! I drove from Tampa to Sarasota and had to drive across this incredibly long bridge. I tried to get a picture of it all while driving safely in my rental car:

can you see it in the distance?!

It's the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, spans over 4 miles and is beautiful. This however wasn't what shocked me. I grew up on an island and a bridge is really the only way to get on or off so call me jaded. whatever. What shocked me was the price of the toll on the bridge! It was ONLY $1. $1!!!! You need to take two bridges to get to LI,  and the Outerbridge and Goethals are both $12 EACH. $24 just to get back on the island.. no wonder why nobody ever leaves! JOKE. I was so excited about how cheap this bridge was so on my way back to the airport I paid for the car behind me. I mean, it was $1 how could I not?! The old man collecting the toll money was so sweet (another anomaly) and was so happy to be the messenger.

Most recently, this morning I went to get my car washed and since I was cashing in on a free car wash I donated $10 to the Patterson Park Chater school that was there raising money for their trip to Spain!

accidentally shoved in my pocket.

Lastly. Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has reached out to tell me about their RAKs! My little brother has helped raise money to buy toys for underprivileged children, my Dad organized a toy drive at work, my friends Mike and Shannon in Atlanta are on board to RAK, co-workers have written letters to troops over seas and I can't even remember the rest of them. Keep them coming and keep me updated!!! I would love to share all of them.

Have a wonderful week. Remember, Santa and Tebow are watching. xoxo
