That's just RUDE #3

So... I expected to see a little bit more than just a plastic bag with clothes inside. The only conclusion I came to was that PEOPLE JACKED STUFF FROM THE BOX. I'm not sure if they truly were confused about whether or not they were allowed to take things if they themselves were in need of that stuff, but its still not okay for them to have taken it without asking anyone. Things like the tooth paste and brushes were missing. I can't recall everything I saw in the box but lots of things were taken. I only thought that I should've taken stuff more periodically to avoid problems like that. I did take another bag home once but it was heavy and I didn't want to walk home again with donations. I should've taken my own advice though and taken stuff home!!! It didn't even occur to me to only carry home the lighter stuff. I'm so dumb.

Big Red Box #2


A while ago I left a big decorated box in the library to try to get more donations. I also made a new flyer that wasn't so Christmas-y theme and posted it in the library. It was in there for a really long time. A few times I went into the library to check on it and it seemed like it was doing good. I remember seeing items in the box like tooth paste, tooth brushes and some bags with clothing inside. Then it was a while before I had gone back into the library to check on it. So finally one day I asked my mom to pick me up after school so I could take the box home. That's not something that anyone wants to carry on a long walk home, so it was a double win :P I didn't have to walk home that day and I took home more donations. So after school I stopped by the library with a friend to go get the box. I'm not sure if I should have been surprised by what I found in the box or not...(The picture on the left shows all the donations I have at home and my favorite over sized hello kitty tote! I just didn't think to move it out of the way lol <3)

Excuses #1

Its been forever since I've blogged. I don't like blogging :/ but I'm going to start blogging again.
Finding time to actually go to the shelter has been such a struggle. Sundays are Funday, its family day just as much as Saturday. I have no choice. Every Saturday morning I have important doctors appointments so its complicated getting a scheduled time to go to the shelter. Other than that, life is very spontaneous with my mom. out of the blue she wants to visit family or they're having a small get together. I'm her kid and she drags me along with her to most places. Again, I have no choice but to go with her.
Every time I call the shelter no body ever answers the phone, business hours or after hours. Doesn't matter the time, they wont pick up the phone. I still have a big plastic bin at home in my room filled with some donations. my motivation to go and deliver the stuff is that the box is bothering me. I don't have a whole lot of space in my room so I want to get rid of it. Plus, I've found my snoopy sister going through it once, that was a huge argument.
