Buy Cheerios – And Get A Free Children’s Book!

Life in Motion

I read in our local paper today that Cheerios is once again sponsoring their annual Spoonfuls of Stories program. For the 5th straight year, Cheerios is giving away 5 million free books inside specially marked boxes of Cheerios. Cheerios is also donating to First Book, and that donation is bringing a year’s worth of children’s books to 50 reading programs serving disadvantaged children across the country.

Cheerios, in conjunction with the First Book program (a fantastic program that puts books in the hands of disadvantaged children), will put one of these 5 books in boxes of Cheerios starting in November, 2007. Actually I was at my grocery store today and they’re already there! :boobie:. So I bought two boxes for my granddaughter. More boxes to be bought shortly. I’m sure Biker Dude and I will be sick to death of Cheerios (which, by the way, are a very healthy cereal and good for your heart, so we’re going to suck it up and snack on Cheerios til we can’t stand them :giggle:).

So do your heart, and a child, some good. And buy Cheerios for those you love and those you wish to help

Monday Update

Life in Motion, 70 Days of Sweat Writing Challenge, Writing & Publishing

How was everyone’s weekend?

The Boo Ha Ha parade was fun. Except for riding the bike in it. Lots of clutching and not riding (for Biker Dude, not for me. I just ride, since I’m on the back :giggle:). Parades move slow, ya know. Hundreds of kids though. Fun stuff! And they seemed to enjoy the bikers riding by. We had fun doing that. I enjoyed seeing all the kids dressed up in Halloween costumes lining the road. They were adorable. And bike riding is always fun, no matter what you’re doing. Weather was gorgeous.

70 Days of Sweat writing challenge is going well. Of course I lost 3 days last week due to galley reviews, but still managed 6000 words of good solid writing on RIDING TEMPTATION, so we’re rockin on the book now. As long as nothing else non-writing wise comes knocking at my door, I hope for some smooth sailing to the finish line. I really need some uninterrupted writing time in a major way. I hope to really crank up the word count this week.

So other than work, Halloween, and grocery shopping, I’m writing this week. Nothing but writing. What’s on your agenda?

What Biker Dude Did on Vacation

Life in Motion

Or….how to make your wife nervous as hell.

He painted the house. Fine.

Until he climbed on the roof to do the chimney. Now granted, the man has spent his life as an ironworker, working on six inch columns and multi stories high. But still.
