I can see KFdancer at customs:
'Do you have any food items to declare, miss?'
'Just this animated sack of potatoes.'

Congratulations! One step closer to the end!  ;D

What date is it? I think you should get one of those ticker things to put as your signature, counting down the days!  :D

September 18!  Woohoo!

I started a new book on the train to London that morning and finished it with an hour left to wait. Thank goodness I had Harry Potter on the kindle for the journey home. Husband was not lucky. Maybe that cute sack of potatoes will let you get some reading done!
