New MALSM shirts

I made a new design, with a map highlighting malsm, and have a nice little storefront at cafeexpress. You should check it out.....there are green, orange, and pink, but not all available in all shapes and sizes. Stupid rules. There's a $1 price markup to benefit LSM. I have the same things for all other regions, but I haven't gotten the stores up and running yet.

MALSM Map Shirts

New t-shirts

Intrigued, aren't you? Well, actually I've been working on some that I've created on CafePress...they're not MALSM specific, yet. In fact I'm wondering if I'm going to get in trouble for making lsm-usa shirts without someone's "permission" - but I'm planning to follow the same protocol as LSM-USA's shop, and one dollar of every sale (or 50 cents from the sticker) goes to MALSM.

Go check it out, I'll have an even cooler design up soon.

this guy has great pot-luck

Oh, Lutheran humor. This is one of the user-made shirts at zazzle (where I would like to make shirts that say "See more of me at hotlutherans.com" on a pink ringer tee). It's pretty expensive, though, and I might end up just screen printing myself one day. I'm sure I can learn it like every other craft I do.


Do a search for Minnesota hot dish on zazzle.com to find the shirt.

An IMOK Coup!

IMOK seems to have created a hostile takeover of the lsm-usa site, see for yourself! (this link is time-sensitive, I'm sure it will be back to normal soon) http://www.lsm-usa.org

I wonder how MALSM can get in on this? Oh wait, I know how! I can do it! I really can't, though, I think there's some sort of oath I signed up for when I opted to apply for National Webmistress...

Stop Complaining!

For those of you who feel the need to constantly point out that the website hasn't been updated lately (yep, got it, thanks) I would like to direct your attention here, to the retreats page http://www.lsm-usa.org/pacnw/

A few reminders

As I sleepily sit here and digest my Chinese food, I wanted to remind you all of a few things.

1. You should go give blood! I tried to this morning, but I was a bit too dehydrated and not pumping very quickly. I should have known from how she couldn't even get the drip out of my finger to put in the blue stuff. Go look for a blood drive in your area at https://www.givelife.org/Index.cfm? and make sure to drink a ton of fluids for a few days before you go in.

2. You can look at the MALSM pictures from all of our events at http://malsm.shutterfly.com - organized by event (but event folders are not chronilogical...it seems to get mad at me when I try to do that). If you have any pictures from any events that are NOT up there, you can just drop them in yourself!

3. That was really it, but I just thought there should be a 3 as well. Let's see, 3 will be to bring a non-MALSM involved friend to the next retreat (or the one after that) to immerse them into the craziness that we all share. I can't come to the Eastern MALSM retreat, so I will just trust that you will bring someone.

That's all for now, good siesta, everybody!
