So am I wrong, or is the idea of the bucket list all of the stuff you want to do before you “kick the bucket”? Seems kind of odd to me, I mean, isn’t that kind of like a count down to your own death? “Oh, I just checked off number 43, wrestling with a tiger while skydiving into the amazon and then building my own home from indeginous trees!”
Okay, so that would be pretty cool, but I’m not sure even the great Chuck Norris could pull that one off. Here’s a list worth having though.
I wrote a few days ago about Mosaic’s 2nd anniversary and our idea to give a gift instead of receiving one. Since the traditional gift for a 2nd anniversary is cotton, we decided we would collect school uniforms for our local school IPS 57. The principal, Ms. Brown, will be joining us on Sunday morning September 6th to accept our anniversary gift!
So this is the promised list of approved school uniforms. Some of you are a little surprised right now that I am saying this list is better than a bucket list (even Chuck Norris’ bucket list, which I hear has “Defeat Satan in an arm wrestling contest while simultaneously bringing democracy to North Korea and filming Delta Force 3″ as number 17 to do). But really, if you’re going to try and check stuff off a list before you die, shouldn’t it be stuff that matters? Shouldn’t it be stuff that makes a difference, makes the world a better place, and survives long after you? So why not a list of appropriate school uniform attire to donate?
Here it is:
BOTTOMS: khaki, black, or navy slacks, shorts & skirts.
TOPS: solid color golf shirts or plain uniform blouses in red, light blue, navy, black, or white.
SOCKS: solid color white or black.
BELTS: any kind and color.
SIZES NEEDED: children’s small (5) - x large (16), a few adult small and mediums could also be used.
Remember, we are collecting these new or gently used uniforms up to and including Sunday September 6th. So let’s be honest, you’re probably never going to single handedly save a beached whale while driving a Ferrari on the German autobahn; but you can make a difference this week, and check something off of the list that will mean a whole lot more.
