Really, I'm saying that's probably exactly what you should do -- give clothes locally. There are people with cash to give to the gulf, and people near you who will need the clothes.

Of course, if there are orgs down there who are equipped to take in clothes and etc., by all means do that. I'm just not surprised that many orgs can't handle all that's being offered right now.

Actually, on second thought, it might make more sense to wait a few weeks and then call the places that can't take the stuff now. They might be able to, later.

I found a church that is taking a semi of stuff to Mississippi. It's done.

Right on.

In news about me, I'm trying to decide which days it makes sense for me to work this semester. Do I work all day and then have class from 6-10, or do I get up for work the morning after I have class til 10? Hmm. Once again, I do not understand how people work full time and go to class.

I'd probably want the time before class to finish anything I needed to have done for class. I'm a procrastinator, though.

Oh yeah, I forgot I thought of that aspect, too. I think I will go with that. I have class tomorrow night, too, but only the one class. For which I have reading I have to print out and read already. Oops.

Jesse, is it helpful if clothes donated are marked by size?

If I'm donating a box of size 12 skirts, for example, followed by size large sweaters?

I have sheet sets that are clean and pretty, sorted out with their matching pillow cases. How should those be packaged to make it easier for sorting?

I figure I'll wait a few weeks to donate them somewhere.

Perkins--half of next weekend. I am hoping to make it back early Saturday, but my tickets are on Northwest, which is having some delays and cancellations due to their mechanics strike.

I am watching Prison Break and I am not getting the Wentworth love. He doesn't seem to be much of an actor and he looks kinda like a monkey. Nice voice and nice lips but leaves me bored.

Well, if you make it back before 7:00 on Saturday the 17th and feel up to it, I'd love to see you at Dukes. If not, maybe brunch on Sunday.

Hmmm, in board time, I'm not too late, so...

Happy Birthday, Lyra Jane!

Also, sorry about the car stealing, Theodosia.

JZ, upon thought and looking at home, I realized that I had gotten that address here. Sophia Brooks posted here Sophia Brooks "Sunnydale Press" Sep 4, 2005 8:11:06 am PDT, and it's particularly for larger women's clothes. I don't know if they're taking other clothing or not. Sorry to be misleading earlier. It's been that kind of a day.

On the bright side, it looks like my job is changing, again. But this time it's changing to have perhaps a less important title, but it will be more defined, more of what I know how to do, and more real responsibility. I can so live with a less impressive title. I am pleased. And I got my hair trimmed. I may have to find some place less expensive if I need to get cuts this often, but I like the way it looks and feels once I went home and styled it myself.
