I just sent this message via e-mail to a bunch of people, but I’m afraid I may have left someone off. So here it goes – my open invitation to share the love.
As you may already know, Kymberlie was admitted to the hospital yesterday. As you might also know, Kymberlie & I have known each other since 2000, and worked together for 2 years. I don’t think there is anything that Kymberlie loves more then a nice bouquet of flowers (except maybe flowers & balloons!) so I want to send her some. I was thinking of taking them to her in person tomorrow, but I’m sure she could use all the cheering up she can get today. She’s never been in a hospital before in her life.
I know it cost a lot to send someone flowers, but I thought that maybe if we all pooled our resources I could pick out a super nice arrangement and have it delivered late this afternoon? If you’re interested in chipping in (even if it’s just a buck or two), I can take money in through PayPal and order them later today. I just realized this morning that it would make her really happy and so I wanted to give everyone a chance to join in! 🙂
If you want to send a few dollars in, you can send them to me through PayPal by using my e-mail address of christine at big pink cookie dot com (just put it back together – trying to fool the spam bots!) Log in to PayPal and go to the “Send Money” screen. I’ll check what is there by 3:30pm or 4:00 CST today (I know, short notice, I’m sorry!) and send an arrangement on it’s way to her.
I am going to go by the hospital tomorrow or visit her at home on Sunday, so if you want me to take something to her then (and don’t get this before my 3:30 or 4:00 cutoff today) I don’t mind at all – there are plenty of stores nearby that I can go to and pick up a treat for her and deliver it in person!

Kymberlie, Part II…
I spoke to Kymberlie at about 2pm – she sounds less “wheezy” then she did yesterday, but well medicated and…
Alert! Alert!
Now, we all know that Kymberlie like’s to read, and she really wants to win the next reading challenge at Zuly’s Reading Room, but contracting a severe case of pneumonia so that she could stay in bed all day and read was a bit much, don’t you think? If…

Sick Fish
Kymberlie, who is actually a friend from BEFORE I began blogging, is in the hospital with pneumonia, and I found out late last night that she has a pulmonary embolism. Her mother was going to be spending the night with her to lift her spirits, so head…
