I have shared with a few Pixies as to why I haven't been posting as much as I used to - I have been very very busy with work - I was assigned to write some pretty hefty grant requests and that took a lot of my concentration. In addition, I have a "side job" of designing web pages for various businesses - wasn't really pursuing that too much but people are coming to me and requesting my services! I have one "fer sure" client and one that is really big that will make a decision soon.

Well, today, the cumuliation of all of that work came to fruition! So far, two of the grants that I have written have been awarded to us! The total amount of one grant is...

...half a million dollars! The second grant that was awarded to us is $25,000! : )

We will hear about the third grant by the 20th of March and that one is very promising!

I am so happy about the 1/2 million grant that I just want to jump out of my skin!

I wanted to share with all of you people - you all have been with Cobalt and I thru bad and good and this is one of the good ones!

BIBI, can you help me with a "Get Molly to Canada" grant?

Steph, I would have funded the venture myself but alas Chey is keeping MY MOLLY for herself.

How about a we plan a puppynapping?

BTW Chey, The Nickster is NOT amused.....

NO PROBLEM!

I know that if you call it "rendition", it is perfectly legal according to the US government. I'm sure Nickster will be happy to hear this.
