Day 2: That was a super easy one because we were going outside today anyway, to pick up bottle caps for charity. :D (Depending on which kindness activities are further in the calendar, the charity thing might become a theme, since I've been really involved in fundraising for little Eva since early October.)

And eating vegetables is another easy thing. :D I actually only had kind of semi-vegetables today, lol (olives, jalapenos and tomato juice). Most days it's something like lettuce, broccoli or green beans. But it still counts. :D

Also this is the first time I've ever heard of candy cane bombing and I frakking love this entire concept. :D I totally would have done it if candy canes were not so expensive (I imagine they're cheaper in the US, or you can buy them in bulk or something?).

The Dollar Tree had a box of 25 tiny ones for $1, but I shelled out for the bigger ones. Made it easier to put on car door handles. Got 30 canes for $5.

That's kinda what I thought. ;) Here the lowest price I've seen is 1 candy cane for about 25 American cents if you take the currency literally, and if you also consider what you can actually buy for the amount, it's more like 1 for $1. Which makes sense I guess, it's not really ~a thing~ to have candy canes, so when you do it costs a lot. *shrug* :)

Whoa. Thought candy canes were more European than American. Huh.

[dance_the_dance]

Apparently they originated in Germany (today I learned :D), but after that it's mostly just the US? Either way, Poland seems to think they're luxury candy. ;)
