Today is the day before tomorrow...

So I am trying to do some small bit of good in the world - aside from being here to make ya'll laugh! - and help raise some funds for MDA. The fundraiser ends tomorrow with a 20's themed lockup. I am supposed to 'raise my bail'.

...it's not going as I had thought it would. With a month of flooding my networks with posts, I have raised a whopping $40. The goal was $2400. I feel a little guilty letting them buy me lunch. They want me to "bring your rolodex" and call people from the event to bring money for my bail... The problem is, everyone I know has a tight pocketbook right now. Even me! (I really can't even sponsor myself here! Had to fix my car the other day... can you say, credit card debt?)

How does one make a difference? The addage goes that if we all do a little it helps a lot, but what if we can't even manage the little? Good intentions and all that...

I won't give up! I will continue! I can make a positive impact!

Join me?!

Some fun Flapper slang!

Ditch your snuggle-pup and put up your dukes!

This is going to be just the bee's knees kiddles!

Think your the big cheese? Prove it!
Let your jingle buy some fun and lay off the hooch for a night!

If you think I'm all balooney, God bless ya... anyway!

Shameless request for assistance with MDA‏!

Dear Co-workers,

I know we are strapped for cash these days, so I will just state that I have a week left with this fundraiser and if you can help at all, I will be very grateful!
https://www.joinmda.org/2009telethonexeclockup/miranda

My ‘bail’ is set at $2400. I have raised only $40 so far! Every buck helps! Whether $20 or $200!

Please forward to your contacts if you can.
Businesses or individuals that donate $250-$499 qualify as a Silver Star contribution; $500+ is a Gold Star and will receive a ‘starring role’ on the Telethon Star Board during the televised telethon = FREE ADVERTISING!

If you are on a social networking site – Facebook, MySpace etc… - or have a blog, please post there as well! (I have been inundating mine for a month now!)

Women's Self Defense Class tomorrow!

If you are planning on coming to the class Thursday night, there are a few items to know:-The class starts at 7:30 but I put 7:15 as the start time so that we can get people signed up and be ready to start at 7:30

-Bring comfortable clothes (workout clothes preferred).

-Please don't bring infants for the babysitters to watch. They would love it, but I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to handle them and still watch the other children.

-Please DO bring your kids (toddlers and up) if you couldn't get your hubby to keep them home. We won't charge for babysitting this week, the subsequent weeks we will charge $1 per kid.

-The class is to be held in the Prosperity Learning Center on 6947 S. 900 E. in Midvale. It is on the East side of the street, brown brick building.

-Please bring as many friends as you want. The class is fun on its own, but more fun with friends with whom you are comfortable.

-Your shoes should be comfortable and flexible.

Please drop me a line if you have any questions. sifu@kungfuutah.com
