Maybe this won’t be odd of me to ask… but do any of you have items containing box tops for education that the Box Tops go unclipped & thrown in the trash? If so, would you mail them to me? If you say yes, just comment letting me know and I’ll email you back with mailing info.

My children go to a small school (maybe 110 kids, grades K-5). Box Tops are wonderful and free. In the past five years our little school has earned $2019 from Box Tops. Last year was only $179, tho. I try to collect all summer long so when school starts in August - I have a lot to send in. Usually, the child(ren) with the most turned in gets awarded. I have saved just over 100 of them this summer.

So.. I’m asking you for help by sending me your clipped box tops! Anyone willing?? I’d love my kids to start school in August with a massive amount of Box Tops to turn in.

If you don’t know what items contain box tops - you can see a list here or view the .pdf file here.

Last minute choice, here. I’ve been busy fixin’ my computer this week (got hit by lightening earlier in the week). I present you with my hubby hanging. He’s in the old chicken house (remember the chicken feeders from “Support” week?? This is where they are).

PhotoHunt

The PhotoHunt weekly email will begin on Thursday, if you want a weekly email notification of the theme go sign up, if you haven’t already (see sidebar to sign up).

Yesterday, we had a storm roll through… lightening ran in and fried my modem, network adapter and what-not. I was off-line most all of yesterday. Got a new modem and Ethernet cable and am on my old PC ’til this evening… then I’ll be back on my new PC. What a pain.. but at least I am able to be online!

Also, I was tagged and since I’m such a good person I’ll play - Veggie Mom is the one who passed this on to me (I haven’t been tagged in a looong time).

When this was an actual daily blog (before the PhotoHunt)… I shared a lot and not sure I can come up with new content for my answers, but I’ll try… The tag is: Tell your readers about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours. I have a few.. such as I don’t like chocolate (which I shared last time I was tagged with this particular tag & you can see it here.)

My answers:

• I. When I shop and am checking out… everything has to be put on the conveyor belt thingie extremely neatly and orderly so that all my items are bagged properly.
• II. I like to hear the Jonas Brothers. My 10 year old son’s favorite band.
• III. I can’t stand a dog in the house. I said I’d never have an indoor dog… but this hound of mine… I felt sorry for her being out side, scared of storms, etc… now she’s indoor full time after being an outdoor dog for two years. While I dislike her in the house, I’m OK with it because I love her. She’s been in about two years now!
• IV. I always mow my yard (lawn) but not because I have too - it’s because I enjoy it. Many claim to dislike yard work and mowing as if it’s a chore but I look forward to it. I won’t let the hubby mow. Ha!
• V. When I’m out alone at night I always get some feeling that someone is out there waiting and will snipe me out. That’s something that came out after catching a guy break into my truck while living in the city. It’s extremely unlikely in my little rural community but I still think it. It makes me laugh but still freaks me out, sometimes.
• VI. I always share a drink with my hubby - neither of us ever have “our own” unless we’re not together (i.e. while he’s working). I don’t know why - it’s been like that since forever… so every night at the dinner table, we share a glass…

It took me a while to come up with those six things… Whew! I no longer pass tags but if you wanna be tagged, consider yourself tagged.

Not sure what happen to comments. I didn’t mess around with anything. I just woke up and found my inbox full! Eek. I’m so sorry. I’m lookin’ into it right now! Technology stinks, sometimes. I turned off the spam filter - I’ll be swamped in spam, for now, if you see some just ignore it ’till I get to it. I did remove some duplicate comments (in case you see some gone). If you get a 404 page, your comment should have went thru, anyway. I have no clue what’s up. I reverted to a default theme, for now, in case it’s a theme issue. I think the problem may have been in the paged comments - not sure what or why - but I disabled it and it seems to be A-OK. If you still have an issue, let me know.
