Happy Donut Day!!!!

Even though every day is Donut Day here at AS, National Donut Day is on the first Friday of June each year, succeeding the Donut Day event created by the Salvation Army in 1938 to honor the women who served donuts to soldiers during World War I. 

Bet you didn't know that.

So what does this mean?

And then...Eat a donut, or six, and show your patriotism!! It's your obligation as an American!!!

Go, go, go!!!

Charity Now

Yes! It's that time again. 


You know, the time when I get the chance to say thank you to you, my readers, because  it's entirely your doing that I got to once again donate my royalties to a charity.





How I love seeing those payments come in. Oh, yes, I do. Because it means we're making a difference together. However big or small, we're doing it.


It's just too sweet to give back when you can, and when I started this whole writing thing I swore that I made any $$$ it would go to a charity directly involved in making Angiomas a tad less suckworthy.


Um, they're still suckworthy. Don't get me wrong. But hey, like I always say--these donations aren't a lot but they're still something which is actually quite something.


Right? So. It's something.

Anyway, as always, this doesn't mean the job is done. Oh, no. So, just a reminder, this blog is offered on subscription on Amazon, and meanwhile -- it's the end of the year and those charities would reallyyyyyyy love your direct donation as well.  Plus, it's a great way to get back at the IRS. Just saying. Something to think about as we creep closer to 2012...



Xoxoxo

Thank You

So. I don't talk about it much but I have this day job. I write. (I wish I could say it was lucrative or glamorous or well, lucrative. But eh, what can you do.) Anyway, when I do get paid I always donate my royalties to charity because, well, because.

I really appreciate everything organizations like Children's Hospital of Boston have done for us. So, you know, it's good to give back when you can. And I swore that if this blog made any $$$ it would go to a charity directly involved in making Angiomas a tad less suckworthy.

Anyway, this blog is offered on subscription on Amazon and while it's not a lot it's still something which is actually quite something-- thanks to you all out there we got us our first royalty check to donate to Angioma Alliance. SQUUUEEEEE!!!!!



Let us celebrate!!! Donuts and boxed wine for everyone!!! We did it!!!



(The war isn't over, though. But hey, you can still subscribe if you haven't. If you don't have a Kindle, you can download the app. You can also just donate to my Firstgiving page over there (yeah, right over there on the sidebar, I swear, or you can just click this link) if the mood hits ya, or go to Angioma Alliance and see how you can help there. Money's great; it's always appreciated. But they need volunteers and other resources as well. Anyway, my point is it feels good to get to help those who help us. :) It really does.)
