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.
[EDITOR'S NOTE: The Share A Square project has ended, and the afghans were delivered on July 7th, 2008. Although we will not continue that project, an exciting NEW endeavor, called the Good Medicine Project is in progress for summer camp 2009. We hope you will join us.]

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!!
