OFFICIAL PLEDGE POST

To recap, I believe that this coming year is going to be important, it is time for me to improve my life because I cannot continue living as I have been. I am celebrating this year as the 1/3 mark of my existence. (All of this explained in a previous post hereI cannot make all of the needed changes alone; we need help. Our finances are still ( Read more... )

Hey! What kind of books do you like? My Husband would not at all object to me cleaning the bookshelves off and I don't mind getting rid of them if they go to a good cause. I don't have a problem with paying postage one bit.

I might be a distance away, but I'd love to help out anyway I could. I won't send you food I've made though. Who knows what it would look like once it got to you.

Heh, I am a junkie -- I will read almost anything!! But favourite genres in no order are; history (anything pre WWII), historical fiction, anything written before 1900, travel (mostly Europe, but any travelogues or "travel writing") crafts, health, medtation/tai chi/yoga/etc, french or italian language (not that I am very good), fantasy, anything houswifery...I also don't mind modern fiction but I rarely keep up with what is out there, I do trade mysteries (any era) with my mom and grandmother. Oh and t is all about scifi :) (He's as obssesive as I am but not as fast a reader ( ... )

I'll second (or is that third at this point?)the request for your clothing side. I work for a high-end clothing manufactorer and can get nice clothes for cheap. They're a bit conservative, tis true, but they've got some great darker plaids and such that I have nabbed up for other goths I know.

Oh... And blankets.. Wool blankets I can do (I might even be able to find some without native american designs on them)

I'll post more generally about size (& styles & preferences) but I am a 14WP in Talbots, 14-16 in other brands, depending on how the hips are cut. But for top I'm a 36F which can make life impossible for anything fitted unless it's empire waist.

As far as blankets I need small rather than large, we have lots of huge ones and only one throw. But Native American is fine, I am one :) (Technically ~1/4 but I claim it as my official race as I did spend a chunk of my childhood with my tribe and so culturally I feel 1/2.) I just don't talk about it much so few people know. It's the goth anti-tan that makes me look pure white ;) But in my college days with the tan and the long, often braided hair it was more obvious.

What is your clothing/shoe size? And what do you like?

I'm going to send you more mail. I'm going to shoot for once a month, but don't hate me if I screw up.

Man, I just wish I were close enough to do some of the in-person stuff, like helping tart, cleaning, co-crafting, and general hanging out. You'd probably get sick of me being around. ;) Whenever Mom and I _do_ make it to that side of the pond (current tentative plan calls for spring '06), we'd already discussed giving your place a good cleaning for you, since it's one thing we both do well (if not especially often, when left to our own devices ( ... )

I'll email more, I tended not to in the past because I didn't want to bother you! Heh, how wrong could I be ( ... )
