I haven't been blogging much, it's been a round of work, staff shortages, insomnia and chasing builders for the past months. I should have moved in mid April, it's now almost the end of June and I'm still waiting to move in to my new place. It's made me feel like I am living in limbo and I got sick of moaning about it because I was starting to bore ( Read more... )

I was very confused at the arrival of the package on Monday. It was obviously not from a business but I hadn't bought anything on eBay I hadn't received. It smelled good but it looked too big a box for the decants I've bought recently and once I opened it, I said, "If this is a decant package, this person is waaaay generous with the extras!"

Boxes have continued to go out over the past few months, but we're trying to wind the whole project down.  My goal is to get the final boxes out by May 12, 2008 when the postage rates go up AGAIN.

Among other things over the past weeks, it's a theme ( Read more... )

So...I came home from classes this evening and was ready to fall over. I drop my things in my room and glance at a strange package sitting on the chest by the door. "Hmmm," I think, trying to figure out what the heck it could be. I know the things I've ordered recently and I was almost 100% sure I'd not ordered anything from ebay in the last week ( Read more... )

I didn't pick up my mail until way late today - same old stuff mostly, and big weird random package.  Hmm.  Huh?  I get it back to my apartment... I sorta recognize the address but not really... and as I'm sorting through the fantastic smelling and completely unexpected items, the LAST little packet I come to has a super sweet note in it.

Basically ( Read more... )
