The little girl was asked to bring a picture of mommy to school yesterday for a project they will be making. I was so excited that I immediately took out all our albums and started looking for that perfect solo picture of mine. After almost half an hour of looking, I only had 4 solo pictures on my hand which to me were not even close to acceptable. They were either blurred, or I wasn’t in the middle of the photo or other people were at my back. Gosh, I realized most of my really nice pictures are with the little girl or with the dad. This can’t be.

I simply refused to give up so I didn’t lose hope, I opened my laptop and searched the thousands of photos stored in my flash drive. I bet I will find something decent. For petes sake, this is my daughter’s first ever school project! And voila, there it is, my perfect solo picture. I had the perfect smile, photo was perfectly angled and no bystanders around me. I clicked print instantly and you wouldn’t guess what luck I had next. The printer was out of ink!

Can this be really happening? Just when I needed it most. I had the driver instantly run to the nearest computer store to get an ink but I was surprised to learn that it was pretty much more expensive than getting it online.

Lesson learned here, I will need to stock up on ink, toner and toner cartridges bought online to save money as with a school girl now, I will need such supply all the time and at unexpected times!

Thanks to Monet and Tet for including me in this wonderful meme.

This award is extra special because Crystal created it in honor of the donor who saved her sons life. Her son Noah had to have a heart transplant when he was just over a month old. This award is supposed to help raise awareness of the importance of organ donation.

So, here are the rules Crystal gave:

“The rules of this award are: SHARE THE LOVE!!! Share this award with all those blogs out there that you love. All the people who make you smile. All those that make you laugh. All those that make your day. All those that leave uplifting comments on your blog. **All I ask, is that you include a link to this post with the award and ask your recipient to do the same**

As you may have recently seen on my side bar, I have finally created a custom blog award!! I have wanted to do this for a long time but never came up with something that “fit”. I didn’t want just anything. It had to be something that meant something to me. And what could mean more than Sharing the Love by giving you pieces of my heart?? So I created this award in Honor Of The Donor That Saved Noah’s Life. I share this award with those of you whose love and friendship have enriched my life and made my world a better place.

I hope by passing this award around the blogging world we can all help raise awareness of the need for “Organ Donation.”

I am now passing this to Jean Marie, Kathy, Melisse and MM.
