Spare Change Jar

Are you my biggest fan or just want to contribute to my hairbrained adventures in the name of good blog posts? Welcome to the Spare Change Jar! The Jar came about becuase people were constantly asking me how to contribute to whatever event or project I had going on, so I keep it open as a way for folks who feel inclined to contribute to my blogging escapades. By no means do I ask that you contribute, but the jar remains as a way for folks to toss in some spare change from time to time. The internet is a huge part of my life, and with your help, I can continue to focus on it as much as possible!

Current Project: Operation Road Trip

In August, 2010, Il’l be moving to Grand Rapids, Michigan, and has an absolutely gigantic road trip ahead of her as she drives solo from North Carolina to – well, the north – with all of my belongings. It’s an extremely long drive, near about 18 hours in total, and I plan to do it in one day with as few stops as possible.  A ton of folks have already contributed Mix CDs to this project – thanks to those who have!

If you want to keep up with my journey, follow me on Twitter. Sometimes it will become important to decide where to get lunch or when to stop for snacks.  You can help me decide by sending tweets and the like! Don’t worry, I’ll only check them when in a safe spot to do so, like while stopped or stuck in traffic. You can find me at http://www.twitter.com/mandarific88

Donate a Gallon of Gas!

Just for fun, in case you want to or feel compelled to lend a hand, or maybe you just want a twitter shout out when I stop to fill up, donate a gallon of gas to help me get down the road! The average cost of a gallon of gas where I’ll be driving through is $2.75/gallon. With about 1,000 miles to drive – even one gallon will help! Use the button below if you’d like to lend a hand.

Keep an eye on my blog and Twitter account for more travel updates,
and thanks so much for your contribution!

PS: Include a note with your donation if you’d like me to do a photo scavenger hunt for something in particular. Want me to make sure I get a photo of me in my pajamas at a gas station or the “Welcome to…” state signs? Throw it in there! I’ll see what I can do!
