Do something!

My Glamour is so inspirational...Lookie what else it gave me.. I picked the top 10 charitable things to do out of their list of 31:

1. Buy a holiday turkey for a family in Baton Rouge (home for Katrina evacuees) for 25 bucks at brfoodbank.org.

2. Support the troops with warm socks, deodorant, etc. Find their wish lists at anysoldier.com

3. Donate blankets to kids in homeless shelters: projectnight.org

4. vaccinate 50 people around the world (with just 50 bucks) from meningitis, polio, measles, etc.. on doctorswithoutborders.com

5. Provide a month of care for a woman or child rescued from sexual slavery for 30 dollars on sharedhope.com

6. Donate! Donate old glasses (neweyesfortheneedy.org), shoes (shareyoursoles.org)

7. Find projects in your zip code at dosomething.org

8. Mentor at at-risk teen at icouldbe.org

9. Send a DVD or video game to hospital-bound kids via childsplaycharity.org

10. Give to donorschoose.org. A small donation can help create a cozy reading area for an underfunded classroom.

Along the same lines of "doing something," WHAT WAS UP with the Bachelor last night?! Oh. My. God. He was my favorite Bachelor up til this point. I mean.. I didnt really like Deanna that much, but still...what was UP with that? I mean... No one asked him to propose...but to cut them BOTH loose... Lame. What was that whole "I cant look you in the eyes and tell you I love you." OUCH. I cant WAIT for the show tonight... (b/c I really AM that lame-whatever) ;)

Oh..and I saw a few of you noticed my cute purse Aaron got me! :)) That guy rocks my friggin world. :)

Is anyone else unmotivated this week? *le sigh*

What an awesome post! It's nice to see some alternative choices, but that are still very worthy. I love the vaccination one and the blankets for children and...well...all of them!
