Never a good idea to invert your shoulder

Oops, I need to stop being so slack with updating.

The other day there was a package waiting for me at the post office. I wasn’t expecting it yet, because I knew mum had mailed it only a few days before. But when I got the package, it said it had actually been sitting at the post office for 2 days. So that was pretty massively impressive.

Was also cool because as I was waiting in line, one of the guys in the back saw me and grabbed the package (a few of the people at the post office know our PO box #, which is awesomely useful) and so there was much less waiting than there would have been otherwise.

Mum sent the usual awesome things like milo and more gloves for Jake. Plus a few bags of musk sticks (my most favourite candy) and some puzzle books. I’ve been alternating doing the kakuro, killer sudoku, and code words puzzles so as not to finish one book before the others. Fun things, I love it.  Math and word-work. Woo!



We found these coconut m&ms at the store last week. They are… pretty tasty, but I really could tell that it wasn’t natural coconut flavour. It FELT artificial. I don’t eat much american candy for this reason.

There is something wrong with our computer mouse. It only clicks half the time, and if I want to drag something? Forget about it, it’s not going to happen. Unless I try over and over and over and over… even then…

Hopefully it holds up tomorrow. As Jake says, I’m "gonna ‘alternathon’ the crap out of this computer tomorrow", which I’m really looking forward to. We went shopping for my baking supplies today, and it cost a lot more than I was expecting. I don’t know why I wasn’t expecting it to be expensive, I bought a lot of stuff, and that is always expensive.



Did you know I am a giant? Because I am. Clearly.

Less than 11 hours before I have to start writing an entry every 30 minutes for 24 hours. This is gonna be fun!

Please, if you have $5 spare, consider sponsoring me for the Alternathon as I raise money for make-a-wish.

Ew, fake coconut 🙁 You’re looking very fit, lady! Non-bill mail is always exciting. I got heaps of packages lately, but it was all stuff I’d bought haha Got one coming from an ODer in Finland though. They’re candy is GOOD. Except salmiakki, that’s so gross >.<

ryn: lol Sorry I didn’t feel like typing XD Plus you had put things so nicely. 🙂 I’ll be alternating between this computer and K’s Laptop which has a mic and webcam so I can yell at you if you get tired lol. Yeah sleep. I’m going to go to bed in a little bit. Hehe.

I’m not a fan of coconut, real or otherwise. But I do love coconut-scented shampoo. Mmmm.

Did you participate much while you were in Australia? When I was monitoring the first time I participated, I had an Australian blogger that had been up over 30 something hours by the time the ‘thon was 2/3s over because he’d had to work before the ‘thon started.

You’re huge! Did I mention you’re huge? You carry it with grace. =)

Giant Sez: Inch for Inch More Awesomeness than the Average Giant! I have to find me some coconut M&Ms. Did you taste the peanutbutter and jelly ones? I think they were a Transformers promotion. Anywho, they were pretty gross. ~jo
