My gift for today was actually given yesterday, but I forgot to mention it and I ran out of time today to give a gift. Unless you count the fact that I am currently working on two projects that I was asked this afternoon to have completed before noon tomorrow. I think that’s a gift considering that I had a full-day meeting today, followed by an event at school, a jaunt to BJ’s, and a trip to Quincy to pick up my niece.
Anyway, I donated some J.Jill clothing in good condition at the J.Jill store. In return, I got 10% off 1 regularly-priced item for each item I donated! What a bargain! I saved about $25 with my 3 old (but still good) sweaters. That was painless!
Here’s a photo of Aliya and her project at iNight – the aforementioned school event. It’s an event where all of the Sage (gifted program) projects for the whole school district are displayed. It was a mob scene but Aliya got some ideas for next year and I got a chance to talk to a few of my pals. Plus I got a good door photo which I think is starting to embarrass Aliya. Oh well. It keeps a roof over our heads and chicken nuggets on the table.
