TGIF
It's a little bit scary how yesterday's announcement really alterered my perspective on things. Suddenly I'm not so miserable even though things have actually changed very little. I did get a bit of good news. One aspect of my summertime blues will end in about two weeks!! YAY! About that same time I'll also start being less cryptic. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Thank you. I really appreciate it!
Spin Out is off to a slow but steady start. We've raised about $1350 so far and prize donations out number raffle tickets 10 to 1. There are A LOT of prizes. I hoped to have an update today, but I'm exhausted, so it will come either tomorrow or Monday. There are lots of vendors to update and a few prizes to show which have already come in. Did I tell you already - there are A BOATLOAD of prizes this year! More than I can believe!
If you'd like to help spread the word, please copy the button (and put it onto your own server.)
You can link it to the Spin Out website: http://www.spin-out.org. Thank you so much! Heifer is a great cause and I hope we can raise lots and lots of money - because we're definitely going to be giving away LOTS and LOTS of prizes! THANK YOU!

OK, about two weeks. I've been so curious as to what's been going on with you! :)
The Spin Out logo is so cute, BTW!

De-lurking to say that I am sending good cyber thoughts for the next two weeks to speed by.
And I hope to have learned to spin by the Spin-Off.

So, two more weeks, huh? It'll fly by!

ok, i know you'll appreciate this: i had a dream last night that bruce came up to verve for a meeting, and after he sat down in our conference room he asked for a glass of water. i went to fetch it and realized we didn't have any clean water or ice, and i panicked. what does it mean?!?

Great, behind again. I'll pick it up this weekend!

Argh, I think we're going to be out of town for Spin-Out. I love the logo!
Big Hugs.

Hi there! I'm a long-term supporter of heifer, and am planning to donate. I also wanted to know: I know it's a bit late, but do you need any more donations? Let me know the specs, please and I'd be glad to lend a hand (or some yarn!)

I have my fingers crossed for you. Things seem to go in cycles, don't they? You're due for a good cycle. :)

I have a suspicion as to what your good news is...no matter what it turns out to be, I'm sending all my best thoughts to you!

Friend! Just checking in. I sent you a couple of emails, but I know things have been crazy. Just telling you I'm thinking about you!

Baths, naps, and nice long walks (when the rain stops). And Lush's Pied de Pepper foot cream (trust me on this one).
