I am SO embarassed!

Anyways, I've known about it for a few weeks and I am supposed to raise $600. A "parole officer" is going to pick me up at work tomorrow and take me to jail where I sit until I raise all the money, if I haven't already. Course they don't make you sit there til you raise it all but you are committed to one hour there. While you are there it's HIGHLY suggested that you call anyone and EVERYONE to ask them for money. Ok, I have no problem trying to raise money, but to call people and put them on the spot is just NOT me. But I know I'm going to have to do this. I have only raised about $200. I'm FAR from my goal.

I'm going to be so embarassed tomorrow having to do this. I have emailed ALL my friends and left messages but no one (well some have) is calling me back or donating. I do not want to call my dentist, doctor, pastor, etc, etc asking them for money like they suggest.

Sorry just needed to vent. I'm so going to die of embarassment tomorrow.

~Roo'sMama~ replied: Lol that doesn't sound like much fun at all! I know how you feel about calling people up to ask for money - even if it's not for you.

You'll have to tell us all about your experience behind bars.

coasterqueen replied: Yeah, not fun at all. Although they do feed us while we are there, but I know the caterer...not good food. Anyways, one of my "friends" emailed me and said "can I get a picture of you in jail?". I told him yes if he gives MDA money. He never responded. See if he gets a pic now! NOT.

coasterqueen replied: OMG! OMG! OMG! I just went and asked the HOTTIE lobbyist here in our office....he gave me $100 for the MDA. YAY!!!!!
