So my cousin Jeff is growing a mustache for Movember. Actually, a lot of men out there are growing mustaches, and I think it is great! Not only because they are doing it to raise awareness and funds for men's health issues, but also because... well. I kind of have a thing for mustaches.

Its true! Not all men can pull them off, but I am definitely one of the (few?) women of the world that loves it when they do! If you've been following my journal at all, you know that this has been a rocky financial couple of months for me. Pennies away from losing my apartment kind of rocky. When my cousin told us on Thanksgiving (Canadian Thanksgiving!) that he was fundraising, I wanted to help and felt bad that I couldn't donate any money for his cause, which is Prostate Cancer Canada.

After much brain-wracking on how to contribute, I came up with the idea to Auction off this little guy - hoping to raise as much as I could to go towards his cause:




He is ready to be the gentleman in your life and show you the fine fine ways of the elegant mustache, or moustache, if you will. He is tough, rugged, and manly and definitely there to keep all your secrets. Or whatever one so chooses to put inside.

I have also made a little newsflash over on My Blog if you want to peek there, too.

Honestly, I just want this little guy to go to a home that welcomes him and help my cousin with his cause. Plus, I'll tell LJ cause you guys are my hombres, he was kinda skeptical that this idea would raise anything above $15.00 and I kind of want to prove him wrong - I think it could be a fantastic idea! But I'm just going to have to wait and see. I know some of you don't mind sharing links and charity things like this with your friends here or on facebook so if you want to share a link to the auction (( http://bit.ly/7pu6Kl )) or a link to my blog (( http://www.farrensquare.blogspot.com )), who knows, it might really help him out.

I'm excited to see what happens! If it works out, I could foresee doing a lot of charity auctions like this one. Until then, this manly, burly, little notebook waits on my shelf, peering out the window - looking for his one true love.

I tweet now. I know, I know. I said I never would. I said that I was too wordy, that 140 characters would never be enough for someone as verbose (rambley?) as me.


I caved. I'm a twit, now. If you are also a twit, tweet me on twitter! Haha, most annoying internet thing ever.
