The Book Sale Project

For a long time I have wanted to make a difference in my community and my workplace, it was just a matter of finding out how to contribute. When asked for suggestions in my workplace, I began thinking of ways to better both my place of employment and a worthy cause. My idea came when I found myself wanting for something new to read and upon looking in the Cyber Lounge, I was amazed at some of the books there. Self help, business relations and information on plenty of technical subjects; a self improvement fanatic’s wildest dream. It was then that I realized I could put my love of books and my drive to assist others to use by creating “The Book Sale Project.” In the following few pages I will put together a simplified version of my goals and outline ways that I hope the project can fund a good cause while bettering my fellow employees.





Plan Outline

Place “Donation Bins” in areas that both the public and stream employees can access. A place I would suggest would be by security or in the lobby.
Collect books from the bins each month and add them to the selection available in the cyber lounge. This would prevent facilities from having to make room to store them, as well as giving employees a chance to utilize them.

Every 6 months to 1 year, a book sale could be held in the lobby and all the proceeds from the books sold could go to the selected charity.
To promote our book sales we could send out mass emails to the site encouraging book donation and sales. Other than that we could rely on the word of mouth or social networking to provoke interest.

Another time that may be appropriate to hold a book sale may be during “Family Fun Day” during which time, children's books could sold easily during this event.
We could also include puzzles and other assorted items with the sale. Puzzles could be put together by employees to ensure no pieces are missing.



Suggested Projects

Junior Diabetes Research Foundation
Humane society
Community After School Programs
Local Food Banks
The Brain Injury Association of Canada
The Water Project


I would love to hear from everyone out there as to what they think could improve my idea and what could charities and projects I should be considering!

Book of Random

I have decided that I will be posting a book that I have been keeping since 2005 I believe. It was dubbed the book of random and my friends have been signing it since that time. It was purchased at a local store in Warkworth Ontario that was known for it's beautiful natural products =D I hope you enjoy my electronic recordings of the book! I will update as frequently as I can.

Sick Day

I have taken a sick day today... probably my last one of the year, I woke up with a terrible headache. Along with intense nausea, and the constant headache, I've also had a poorly time flare of pain in my neck, ribs and hands.
I have been watching Star Trek at low volume and trying to rest my eyes. All in all a quiet and restful day. Seven of Nine is having a momentary freak out and it makes me giggle. She is waaaaay too serious most of the time.

Ugh... I really would like my doctor to hurry the %^&# up and get me my blood test results. Good news is that it isn't likely something serious, if it was they should have gotten back to me by now if it was. Right? I have an appointment with a few more specialists next Wednesday for more testing and internal ultrasounds. At that point they will be able to determine if the masses on my ovaries are P.C.O.S. or what ever else it may be. I am hoping that I can resume living a normal life and possibly go onto having children in the future. When I have an accurate diagnosis I can then start whatever treatment I may require. I will give everyone an update as soon as I know anything.

In other news, I am thinking that I want to get my hair cut off short. Maybe in almost a scene fashion. I am thinking electric blue and black for the colour and a short shag with thin longer pieces at the front. It will be amazing and different, something I've always loved to do when it comes to my hair. I have had many different styles over the years, and have always had a knack for pulling off the wildest of hairstyles. For the moment I am just waiting for my newest dye job to wear off a bit so I can prevent a whole lot of damage to my hair all at once.

My weekend was spent in an interesting fashion. I hung out with my good friend Barb and we spent a lot of time engrossed in conversation about everything from food to our past lives. You would never imagine the relief that comes with spending a few days talking to a kindred spirit. I find myself so tense and wrapped up in trying to keep up with work and home that I don't have enough time to think or breathe never mind sort out my thoughts. This gave me the opportunity of taking my thoughts and filing them into the appropriate place in my head. We agreed to have our get-togethers more often, we have much in common. Our past has never intersected but it feels as though they have run parallel for a good number of years. I won't go into detail in order to respect her privacy, but we share a great number of things, including but not limited to the love of chatter. We both love to talk and putting us in a room together makes everything light up and appears to make us both happy. I adore her to the fullest extent and I look forward to our next visit, be it her place or mine.

Anymawho.... I am going to make some lunch. Maybe I will have some new recipes! Oh and remind me to post the recipe for Strawberry Rhubarb Pie =D

A new consideration

I have tried dieting and exercise for a long time, it seems not much has worked for me. I have dropped the weight but it comes right back up again. I am really bothered by the way it looks on me and the way I feel. Easily winded and always tired, I don't look forward to another round with P90x or even a slow bout of yoga. I have tried dieting but it seems all the things I adore have to be cut out of my intake and I don't think that half of the ones out there are healthy. Cutting calories down to 900 a day, not ever touching carbs, fat free, sugar free, liquid only.... it all just rubs me the wrong way.

I am not a heavy smoker by any means and I rarely drink. My BMI is a whopping 35 and is only going up. I want to be able to do the things that everyone else can do and I want to look the way I feel. I have always wanted to climb a mountain or go on a hike, however with my current BMI and weight, I can't. I get tired and light headed and my whole body feels like it's on fire.

I know this may seem like a drastic step for only being 185lbs,(however I am only 5'1) but I am going to talk to my doctor about gastric bypass or Lapbands. All my friends think I'm crazy but I feel so unhealthy. I feel like something is so wrong that it cannot be corrected without other assistance. This will be a starting step towards a bigger life change.
