Friggin' Box Tops

First, the plea. If any of you aren't currently saving Box Tops, would you consider saving them for us? They are pretty easy, just buy the item that has the little coupon on it then rip the coupon part off and drop it in a bag. When you get some, call me and I'll pick them up. No trimming required even :)

That said, I've been trimming Box Tops for the last 2 hours and I'm SICK of it! I volunteered to help re-trim the ones that were turned in for our end of the year contest and I ended up with a lot of tops to trim. I've worked on it a couple of times for a few minutes at a time but not made a lot of headway. The coordinator called me today and asked when I was getting them done so it was time to get my butt in gear, since I promised to have them done by Thursday. A couple of points for Box Tops collectors. I HATE HATE HATE the plastic ones. Like the ones on paper plates. They are terrible to trim because they stretch and tear and just generally suck. Next, do your school a favor and either trim them within an inch of their lives or don't trim them at all. Seriously, the ones that are half assed trimmed are worse than either of the others. At least the ones that are untrimmed are easy to hold on to, to actually cut. Obviously, the ones that are trimmed way down need nothing done to them and are, by far, the easiest to deal with :)

Now, I need to finish my show and get to bed since I'm going to work out with Quigs in the am :)
