I got home from my two week trip to find a huge pile of mail for the Share A Square program! My Sweet Spousal Unit went faithfully to the mailbox every day while I was gone. Isn’t he a good guy?
Whoot! Look at what piled up. Thanks to everyone for your hard work. I can’t wait to go leap right into the middle of these. This pile doesn’t include Saturday’s mail or today’s mail. I’m a little afraid to go to the post office! I’ll be taking pictures and resizing them tonight. Tomorrow I’ll upload them to the update page. Then, I have to get to work answering e-mails and comments. I’m so behind from two weeks without a reliable internet connection that I’m following my shadow!
My husband stacked all of the mail on my mini-trampoline where I could find them. He made sure not to put anything that looked like a check on the trampoline—-so it wouldn’t bounce. But, that trampoline is full! Now how am I supposed to exercise?
Oh, Darn! I’m so disappointed.
I put that trampoline here in my office so I could take a break now and then and jump on it. I guess my husband has noticed that the doggone thing has just been used for decoration—and as a cat bed. I totally avoid looking at it. Why in thunder did he think that was a logical place for me to look for my mail? I guess that since this whole project has been a leap of faith, it was appropriate to put it on a trampoline.
For the longest time, I had my Nordic Track in the middle of the floor so that perhaps I’d guilt jerk myself into walking on it. At least it could be used as a clothes rack. But, I ran into it in the middle of the night, so it had to go. It wouldn’t have held this many packages, anyway.

Glad you’re back! We’ve had a lot of things (like the hubby’s Soloflex) serve as coat racks around here!
Jumping on a trampoline does sound like fun! I’m a little accident prone so I’d probably knock myself out hitting my head on the ceiling or something, though. Yes, that would be me!
Hope you guys have a very Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

The response you are getting on “share A Square” is getting close to that of the AIDS Quilt. You may have started a world wide movement to give a sick child their very own blanky. I hope you have help connecting all the contributions.
I am working on the second afghan, Shelly – the first is finished and waiting patiently to be returned to you.
Hopefully the box will be in the mail this weekend – and then you will have them when you do your big photo shoot.
and . . . I have exercise equipment that is utilized in MANY ways (other than the intended way)
Yay, sounds like things are going good for Share A Square still. Sorry I don’t come ’round often (I didn’t even know you were gone) – but I am glad you’re back!!!
I’ve been by off and on to see if you’re back.
I too find my elliptical is a great coat hanger, now only how to figure out how to to do the other thing it’s good at….lol!
It looks like Christmas!!
I have the afghan finished, just working on more squares. I also put a shout out to SAS on my blog! 
Happy Thanksgiving!!
JUst a quick “drive-by” to wish yoy the happiest Thanksgiving.
Congratulations on the continued success! Blessings, you saw the need and gathered the troops.
