"Be good and you will be lonesome." - Mark Twain
If you don't believe it, you haven't been paying attention. We as a culture dislike and distrust the virtuous. We feel made small and petty by comparison. We enviously tell ourselves that they can't be that great, and thus must be lying, faking, tricking us. We neurotically assume that they're looking down on us. We therefore feel resentful, angry, even vengeful... against those who never did or said anything wrong to us, or at all.
Where does that leave the good person?
What are you going to do about it?

Box Tops for Education sweepstakes and giveaway
The fine folks at SuperValu and General Mills through MyBlogSpark sent me the following info:
"Moms like you do whatever they can to help their kids´ schools get the resources they need to provide the best education possible.
In fact, every year 24 million parents and children join in clipping Box Tops to support their local schools. As a result, SuperValu shoppers helped participating schools earn more than $10 million in the 2008-09 school year alone!
To make it even easier to participate in the program, the SuperValu family of stores (ACME, Albertsons, Cub, Farm Fresh and Jewel-Osco) joined Box Tops for Education in creating a website that not only tracks your Box Tops contribution and the school´s redemption, but also offers recipes, coupons, store promotions and more.
From now through May 31, SuperValu stores and Box Tops for Education are giving you a chance to win 50,000 bonus box tops for your school. That´s a $5,000 value! All you have to do is register at www.GrowingLocalLearning.com, and click the link to the 50,000 bonus box tops sweepstakes*. You will automatically receive 5 Bonus Box Tops just for signing up!
*Please note that the sweepstakes is void in some states. Visit www.GrowingLocalLearning.com and view the sweepstakes´ official rules for more details.
After you´ve entered the sweepstakes, be sure to stick around and browse the website where you´ll find a variety of great offers on your favorite General Mills brands including Betty Crocker®, Old El Paso®, Totino´s® Pizza Rolls® and Pillsbury®.

They also provided me with a $25 American Express gift card, AND an additional $25 American Express gift card to give away to one of you; send me your story about what you're trying to earn for your child's school, and the best story wins the card. I'll post the winner Sunday night!! :-)
