Yay!  Sorry if I pressured you!  I'm just really excited to see what people get.  Can't wait for your photo! :)

Oh gosh, I didn't feel pressured by you, I meant to update you guys earlier. It's been one of those weeks ;D

Oh, phew!  Tone get lost in text sometimes.  I'm glad I didn't come off as pushy.

Yes, sorry, I owe you all pictures but my technical difficulties continue. I will post as soon as I can. I *love* what I got!   :D

I know you have technical difficulties.  I hope you find a new computing device soon, for you sake, not just for this!  But for this, too.  ;)

I chose the little bird feeder, because soon I'll actually have a garden of my own and the landlord said I can do whatever planting wise.

I know it's to late to start this year, but I plan on making my garden a little haven next year. I'll post a pic soon.

Though I almost picked another item because one of the people in/on it is a celebrity crush ;D

Going from no garden to garden has been wonderful!  I'm excited for you!  And what better way to celebrate than a garden gift from pass the parcel!  Yay!

Oh my gawd, y'all!  <-- practicing my "American"

I just ate the most American thing I've had in 4-1/2 years!  The only reason my husband and I didn't eat all of the cheese sauce I took from the pass-the-parcel at the weekend is because I only had half a bag of tortilla chips, and they were mostly broken bits.  After a while, it just became too much effort, so I put the clip back on the bag and just used my finger to scrape out the rest of the cheese in the bowl and ate it (it's what I would've done at Del Taco and/or Taco Bell).  But today, I decided to do something about those remaining broken tortilla chips... I scooped a couple of spoonfuls of the cheese sauce into a bowl and zapped it to warm it, then I poured the chips in and gave it a good stir.  Then I ate it with a spoon, like it was a bowl of cereal... slowly.  And the chip pieces softened like I like... Oh my gawd, takes me back to skating rink nachos when I was a kid.

And I have quite a lot of cheese sauce left and a bag of tortilla chips coming in today's grocery order!!!  I can have more!

Yeah, so... thanks, Jimbocz!

Man.  Now I feel slightly guilty for taking it.  :P  I hope everybody else is as happy with their choices as I am!

While I'm a bit jealous of you, I'm glad you took it for a couple reasons.
1.)
I'm on a health kick and I'd have NO self control with it.
2.)
My mom and Dad come in October so I'm making them bring me lots of goodies so I can wait till then

I'm glad you're enjoying it :)))

Huh.  You're right.  I should suck it up and invite my mother to visit.  She can bring me all the things I miss.  That's a good reason to put up with her, right?

But, sorry.  I'll try not to gloat any more.  I'll just bloat, instead.  ;)

Gloat away!! It's hard not to over quest ;D

Some Iceland airline just announced their opening flights from saint louis to London/Europe for extremely low prices.

I've craving [probably because I cut sugar and carbs out] so bad those orange slice candies. Do you know what I'm talking about? Chewy sugar coated things. I thought I found something similar in Tesco but they were way off.

I have a feeling I'll be seeing a lot more of my parents then.

The ones that are the texture of the inside of a jelly bean, but with granulated sugar on the outside instead of a hard shell?  They have a satisfying 'bite' to them.  :)
