Box Tops For Education
So I don't know if you have noticed but a lot of products such as general mills cereals, pillsbury muffins, betty crocker, pull ups, cottonelle toilet paper and many more products have little pink boxes that say box tops for education on them. Well (e:jill)'s mom teaches at a Catholic school in Kenmore, (St. Pauls) and I have been on a crusade to collect those box tops for them. My mom buys a lot of ziploc bags as anyone who has been in our basement knows, so that was a good start and she saves a lot of them. I now have (e:libertad) in on it, i have checked all his products and he better save those box tops. Seriously I have become slightly obsessed with it , I just signed up online so that I could get five extra box tops and see the progress of the school in reaching its goals. It started as a simple endeavor to help (e:jill)'s mom's class win dress down days and has blown into a full-fledged obsessive passion of mine. So if anyone wants to save their box tops I am totally willing to take them and turn them in for you. Here is the link to the website about it...

I will drop them off at the 24 when I have them - I think I have some. Have to root through collected recycling...

gardenmama - 11/17/08 00:11
I use a lot of that kind of junk. I'll try to remember to save them for you.

I think only one item in my kitchen has that. It is yours.

Taped and Pinned In
I am gonna have to be duck taped and safety pinned into my very shotty craftmanship of a costume and it comes across as more creepy than fun but I like it! Procrastination worked again!

I found it odd that a little bit after the show was on and had a fallowing that they made a big raid on one of those sects, it is weird I wonder if the show brought that life style more attention, or if the show used some real facts about some real people.
libertad - 10/28/08 17:41
I'm so glad that you found something that would be perfect for you. I know you can get it!
janelle - 10/28/08 16:32
This is totally irrelevant to the topic at hand, but do you watch the HBO series Big Love, I think you would love it!

Costume time?
What the heck am I gonna be for halloween? I always procrastinate and then come up with something pretty awesome but this is really cutting it close, considering i work everyday til halloween. Well not friday. Me and (e:jill) had a few ideas whlie out shopping the other day but nothing concrete! What can I be? Oh by the by on the side, my boss at work her daughter who is a freshman in high school and her firends are being the people from Candy Land. I am so freakin jealous. That is waht I always wanted to be but noone would go along with it! Can't wait to see everyone dressed up!!!!!!!!!! i love halloween hardcore. Not the scary part but the fun sparkly short shorts part!

gardenmama - 10/27/08 23:24
I LOVE the Candy Land thing - that is so great! I'm jealous too and I don't even know them.
tinypliny - 10/27/08 23:14
I am having second thoughts and uncertainity attacks about whether I can really sew my entire constume on Thurday. I atleast have fabric and wool yarn now. I didn't even have that last week.
But still, I am a bit freaked out.
