So many books, So little time! Posts: 6,758 Group: Members Member #41 Joined: December 23, 2005	appaloosatb Jul 19 2009, 10:28 PM wss4, are you guys still wanting to do this? I think your postage checks may have been lost in the mail... Sorry appa. I was going to put the check in with some books that I need to mail you but I have gotten behind with mailing because I have had so many books requested through BookMooch and PBS lately. I will be sending the check out to you tomorrow on it's own and hopefully the books will follow later this week. I did get the first box in the mail yesterday as well. Fabulous surprise!! Can not wait to get them labeled and listed. Thanks again for taking this on each year. It is such a wonderful and generous thing that you do.

I was really happy to see so many teen books this year, since there haven't been many previously. Since you and I are keeping the Teen VBB afloat lately I was glad to be able to share.

I will try to get the check in the mail to you tomorrow! Mike's grandfather is back in the hospital (4th time in the last 2 months) with his blood pressure sky high and he's throwing up. They can't figure out what's wrong with him! I can't wait to see what books I get! I love going through them!

I think I will probably end up sending you 5 boxes since the postage on the first 2 boxes wasn't that much. I'm planning on taking a look at what everyone has spent in postage VS actual costs and sending out extra boxes next week.

I should be walking my dogs Posts: 1,663 Group: Members Member #45 Joined: December 23, 2005	Just wanted to post another update. This is the slowest I've ever been getting all the books sent out, and I'm feeling pretty guilty about it. Sorry guys! I just had to renew the storage unit rental for another month because I just haven't been as fast getting everything out as I'd like. Besides working 50 hours a week and trying to catch the feral dog, it turns out I've got bronchitis. I finally went to the doctor Wednesday because I was feeling worse and worse, then ended up in the emergency room at 4am Friday because I couldn't stop coughing and was coughing up a little bit of blood. I'm trying to continue to pack up books in little spurts, but I have to go easy so I don't set myself off coughing again. On the plus side, if I keep this up I'll probably have a six-pack in a couple weeks - my abs haven't worked this hard ever. So I'm going to keep working away at getting everything packed up and sent off, but please be patient with me. I have until August 25th to get out of the storage unit, so at least now I don't feel so pressured.
