I kind of feel like I already gave at the office airport. (I gave away a big chunk of my heart.) But I still wanted to participate in Nie Nie Day, in at least some small way. So I have two items up for bidding (you may place your bids in the comments section midnight MST (Mountain Standard Time) Monday, September 1st.). They are humble offerings, but no less heartfelt:
Item #1 is my last remaining bar of homemade Green Tea and Lemongrass Soap. It is available to the highest bidder living in the continental United States. (starting bid $5)
Item #2 is a homemade Sour Cream Lemon Pie. It is my specialty. (Sorry, due to the short lifespan of freshly whipped cream, this item is only available to someone in Utah County. starting bid $8.)

Of course 100% of all proceeds will go to the Christian and Stephanie recovery fund.

Does anyone know how the PayPal link (assuming it is a real link and not someone going phishing) could have gotten on my blog?
Anyway–you guys are awesome! Keep those bids coming in.

How about if I make it more interesting?
I’ll make two pies: One for the highest bidder (as of closing time, midnight, Sept. 1). And one for the first person to match the highest bid at close.
Are you game?
