okay, so I'm now wayyyyy behind! Bad, bad Jacquie!
Let's see if I can catch up...
Not much going on really. I work. I come home. I work some more. It's tax season. I put in ten hours today! It's almost over! *sigh* yet good. Sigh because I'm enjoying the money. Good because I've been working hard and will now go back to part-time! :(
Meghen did a four-day performance of Beauty and the Beast for her 8th grade drama class. I have many photos! Will upload some just as soon as I can go through them...I took over 400! She did a great job as Babette, a milk maid, a wolf and a napkin! The play itself was fantastic...very impressed!
Nothing else really exciting. Looking forward to some quiet time once work settles back down and getting a few things accomplished around the house.
Nearing the end of the NBA season; you know how much I HATE that! I love me some basketball! Go Lakers!
Won't you miss basketball too?

Hi Jacquie,
I hope you are doing well! I am going through all 700+ blogs that I have ever designed and seeing how everyone is doing. I am so proud that Blogs for a Cause (www.madebynikki.blogspot.com) has had so many customers over the past few years!
It has been awhile since I designed your blog, and I see that after a hiatus, you are trying to get back into the swing of things. Maybe a new look would help encourage you, and bring some new readers? It costs $25 to get a whole new look, if you are interested. For $40, I can do a rotating photo design where the photos are animated as a slideshow (see this one as an example http://jonesalwaysandforever.blogspot.com/)
You may be asking why I am so desperate for customers right now that I am individually emailing 700 people. On top of my upcoming trip to Uganda, I am supporting three siblings in the Dominican Republic to get a higher education. For the past several months I have been sending money for them to be privately tutored, and now I need to focus on raising the funds to get them into private school for September. The eldest, at age 16, didn't even know the full alphabet. They don't have much of a future unless we step in.
$5 of every blog design is going to their school tuitions. I need $4500 total, so this is a whoooole lot of blog designs! You can read more about the kids at the link below, and I am also looking for monthly sponsors and one-time donators.

Thank you so much for your past involvement with Blogs for a Cause. I love being able to beautify blogs, encourage bloggers to continue writing, and provide a place for people to network and find new blogs to read. We have raised $3738 for charities thus far, including $155 for Andrielis (the eldest of the siblings). Please forward this email on to anyone you know who blogs, or anyone who might be interested in supporting an amazing cause.
Thank you so much!
Nikki
