I'm back from the beach.
I'm tanner.
I'm blonder.
I'm not unpacked.
I'm trying to convince my cat to use her litter box.
I'm a bit annoyed with her.
I'm going to keep trying.

Vacation

I'm on vacation. I have a tiny bit of sunburn. Very tiny, sort of on the front of my shoulders and the tops of my knees. I promise I put sunscreen on twice. But I have a portable hammock so I don't lay on my stomach much and I guess the front of my just couldn't take all that sun. I haven't been out in the sun much this summer. (I should have been out weeding the garden, but I'm currently afraid of it.) I must return now to watching the Olympics--my sister is hoping people fall off the balance beam so the Americans win. Love how the games bring out the best in people.

Help for teachers

Adopt a Classroom-- If you have a minute to vote for them to get big $$ that would be great, thanks! If you want to tell other people, thanks again!

For the second year, American Express Members Project is giving away $1.5 million to the project that receives the most nominations on the Members Project website www.membersproject.com. Last year, we made it into the Top 25. This year, I’d like to win, and focus national attention to the importance of teachers in our communities and the issues they face.

I greatly appreciate your taking a few minutes to go to www.membersproject.com and nominate “Adopt a classroom. Support America’s Teachers.”

You do NOT need to be an American Express cardholder to nominate a project. (This is a big difference from last year’s campaign.)

Click here to go to www.membersproject.com and nominate “Adopt a classroom. Support America’s Teachers.” and help Adopt-A-Classroom win $1.5 million to support America’s teachers.

As an fyi, this is the first of 3 rounds of voting. The next round narrows it from Top 25 to Top 5 and the final round narrows it to a winner.

Thanks so much for doing this. Please forward this email to your friends and family.
