Happy Birthday to me!

++++ EDITED ++++
THIS IS THE ONLY EDITED PART. FOR EVERYONE'S INFORMATION. CHARITY: WATER IS NOT NOTIFYING ME OF ANY DONATIONS TO MY FUNDRAISING PAGE. THEREFORE I CANNOT THANK YOU IF YOU'VE MADE A DONATION AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH. I'VE ALREADY SENT THEM AN EMAIL BUT WITH THE HOLIDAY BREAK I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE RECTIFIED. SO, I AM NOT RUDE, I JUST DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE DONATED! IF YOU WISH YOU CAN TELL ME ON FACEBOOK OR LEAVE A COMMENT SO THAT I WILL KNOW. OR YOU CAN REMAIN ANONYMOUS TOO! SO SORRY IF YOU DONATED AND DIDN'T GET ANY WORD FROM ME! I'M NOT BEING RUDE, I JUST DON'T KNOW!!! XOXO LORI

Ok, the September campaign for Charity; Water is obviously over and I was hoping they'd do a new one every month but they don't! The founder, Scott Harrison's b-day is in September so that's that!



But this is to my friends and family who buy me birthday gifts... DON'T! Please, if you're someone that see's me and gives me a present I would ask, no BEG you to donate money to the link on the right or right here.



The original campaign asks that you give a dollar amount of the person's b-day age, in my case it would be $37.00 since I'm turning 37 on 12-29. But any amount would be wonderful, $5.00 or even $1.00!!!



I don't want anything else except that! It would make me the happiest 37 year old on the planet if you would do that - Mom, that means you too! NO PRESENTS!! :)

  5. I've never bought you a present before but I am this year. I am inspired by your tenacity with this effort to bring clean water to everyone -- I am also in awe of your ability to reveal your age!

    xoxo

  6. 37? One should not fib when asking for donations to a charity. Just kidding Lor-I love the idea-count me in. Hope to see you the week of your b-day though at some point. Maybe when the chaos of ice storms and snowstorms and all subsides. Talk soon!

  7. This is a fantastic idea. I think I need to do this too...it's too good.
    Hope all of your Christmas preparing is going well. Take so many pictures that, when I'm 94, I'll argue with you that I was there and believe it. Thanks!
    XOXO,
    Danni

  8. Lori,

    I think this is great! My parents raise money for wells in Africa. I am visiting through Julies blog @ "Journey to Family".

    Happy Birthday!

  10. Hi! I just found your blog and had to comment that we named our little girl Tessa, too. Our blog doesn't say so, we are staying "anonymous" there, but thought it pretty cool to see another little Ethiopian Princess with the same name. Our Tessa is now 5, and we also have her twin brother Trey.

    Nice to meet you!
