becomingkateI still haven't heard back from Billy (story here, if you missed it: http://becomingkate.livejournal.com/49414.html), but I noticed on one of the NKOTB fan sites on facebook that the organizer of Remember Betty is on facebook so I messaged her. Remember Betty is a bunch of groups around the world who participate in Susan G. Komen for the Cure walks and raise money in the name of Betty Wood, who was the mother of Danny, one of the NKOTB. She passed away from breast cancer in 1999. The organizer of Remember Betty is in personal contact with Danny to keep him up to date on Remember Betty events and progress.
I told her about the cookbook and asked if she'd be willing to bring it up to Danny and also if she could help me donate autographed items as raffle prizes for contributing for the cookbook and possibly donate some proceeds to Remember Betty when I start selling the cookbooks. She said that Remember Betty might actually have something similar in the works with Actifry, which is a product Danny promotes a lot. I told her I would love to work with Remember Betty if they were going to put a cookbook together--I am a culinary school trained chef and I would love to test recipes or help create recipes.
She said she is meeting up with Danny in a couple weeks and will mention my cookbook to him!! And she will let me know if the Remember Betty cookbook or whatever they have planned is still in the works.
Oh god now I have to wait 2+ weeks!
In other news I sort of quit my job yesterday, I have been feeling too unwell to sit on a van for hours at a time and I went in to talk to my boss and she offered to give me a month off to try to get better. After a month I'm supposed to call her and let her know if I feel well enough to come back. I have a feeling it will take me longer than a month, since my first appt. with my new primary care doctor isn't even until the 15th. But we'll see. I am immensely enjoying the time off and the lack of stress about the job is already helping me feel better. It's also nice to have time to do my errands without rushing or dragging an unwilling 5 year old with me. LOL
