Shalla’s doing some charity work

Donote to Shalla

Please support me as I take an amazing journey in the fight against breast cancer! The Breast Cancer 3-Day is a 60-mile walk over the course of three days. Net proceeds benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure and National Philanthropic Trust, funding important breast cancer research, education, screening, and treatment.

I’ve signed up for the 3-day walk for breast cancer this summer. Each day, I’ll be walking 20 miles, for a total of 60 miles walked. I need to raise a certain amount of money to do the walk, so I’d like you to see if you can possibly contribute something.

Donate to Shalla!

After that it will ask you for your name and amount and such. You can also give me a check.

Please donate to this reasonably good cause. It doesn’t suck!

Thanks,
Shalla

Sometimes I wonder…

Happy day after Halloween, everyone!

While I was waiting for the trick-or-treaters that never came to my door last night I was watching television. Yeah, I know… imagine that!

Anyway, Master Card commercial came on. filling the screen was an overview shot of a grocery store check out line conveyor belt. As the conveyor belt moved these items were shown and listed by the narrator:

bottle of ketchup
spaghetti colander
red tablecloth
broom

$42 on Master Card
Halloween costume… Priceless

… and they never showed the finished Halloween costume!

So, here is my Pinata-challenge, if you will;
What costume would YOU make out of those - and ONLY those - items? How would you use them? What would you call your costume?

Don’t ask me… I don’t know what I would make. That’s why I wanted to ask all of you!

Now if you will excuse me, I have a NaNoWriMo novel to work on…
