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

Cheese Fries, Meet Your Match!
POPLAR STREET PUB - 242 South 200 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84101-1801; 801-364-1061
Open for lunch!
Mouth-watering. Crisp. Flavorful. Addictive!
The Garlic Fries at the Poplar Street Pub are the best fries around! Pair them with the French Dip or Grilled Chicken Sandwich and you'll be in heaven! I had the French Dip; toasty soft bread that sops but won't sog with the au jous, mounds of delicious beef, stretchy cheese... it had me picking onions out just for the sake of the onions! The whole thing is portion perfect; fills you up and leaves you with some to go! *wink
Whether you sit in the air conditioned ambiance of the bar or opt for the shaded, misted patio, you can't go wrong. I took a booth in the bar and enjoyed being able to see the sun but not having to be in it.
The service is excellent. The ladies who helped serve me were attentive without hovering, had great things to say about the food (she was going to order the French Dip, but had it last night!) and were helpful when I needed to use the facilities.
For those so inclined, the Poplar Street Pub has 6 local beers on tap, and plenty of other drinks to suit your mood.
They are even "Green-minded": Stickers on the paper towel dispensers remind you that "These come from trees". I used half as much as I normally would, and got to feel good about it!
You should plan a party, go for lunch, order a pizza to go!

Crazy Dreams...
Have you ever had trouble sleeping and you keep waking and going back to sleep? When I do, I get some of the most interesting dreams!
I had one where a bug turned into a Transformer (decepticon of course). Then there were people who were transforming and it was because the allspark had affected mechanical implants like pacemakers or the like... I have not even seen the second movie, but I did watch an episode of Eureka recently where they had an android sherriff...
I had a dream I died. It was a beautifully landscaped park that looked like a cross between the red hills of southern Utah and Memorial Park in SLC. I was wandering around in the middle of an orchestra. I think I had a heart attack, but here's the fun part. I was a ghost! I didn't wake up! I wandered around a hospital where some people could see me, but I was still incorporeal. (I think Nurse Roberts from Scrubs was there) Then... it was like a big house with people I knew there. Not my family, some friends, and some friends I haven't seen in a long time that were like family. One of them seemed upset with me... One of my friends looked more like she had in Jr. High and was wearing inch thick - literally - glasses. Another thing that struck me was that even before I died, throughout everything in this dream there were children frolicking and playing, day or night. Like they were invisible sprites or spirits. Weird.
Well, not the weirdest I have ever had (nothing can compare to the Amish man on a stage that turned into a giant dancing turkey!) but still interesting.
