Mail Demons vs. Fairies

Thursday, 30 December 2010

I feel like a kid in a candy shop!

Went to Sapouy today not expecting anything in the mail - maybe the key to the box would FINALLY be ready (fingers crossed, but being realistic) and then I would take money out of my account (yes, the post office is also my bank account here... weird, I know). So I ask the man behind the desk and BAM! there are not one, not two, but 3 packages in the mail for me. Two from my mama and one very unexpected surprise from Melanie Grizzel! I was expecting the third to be from Ashley or Adam, but to my pleasant surprise my old boss sent me some much needed love! This means I'll be expecting at least two more packages - within the next two or three weeks: Adam & Ashley's packages!! Damn that moleskin!! I still haven't received it and I'm pretty sure Ash sent it over a month ago! Where could it be? Singapore again? Maybe it's in Russia this time? Oh goodness, I just can't wait to get it.

Gotta get to bed soon - going to Leo tomorrow for New Years and I might have Skype capabilities! Wohoo.

Two of my Most Favorite...People

15 Juillet 2010

I received two calls today: one from my Pops and the other from my Love!! It's been a good while since I've spoken to my Dad and so I was overjoyed when I heard his voice. It always makes me so happy and I immediately talk in baby talk - ridiculous. We talked about what I was doing: where I was going next: if my French was improving: if I've made new friends: quoi quoi quoi. He then proceeds to relay a message from Ma saying I need to make a list of "reasonable" items that could be sent to me!

YAY! Care P A C K A G E!

So I'll start making up a list - mostly of good snack foods, spices, treats and so on...stuff that could keep well and be of decent price for them to send it across this tiny lake between us. Yes! $50 for a medium, one size same price box.
  • Twizzlers (thanks dad!)
  • Nutrigrain
  • Cookies = pecan sandies, melanos, yum
  • Kaschi snacks
  • Oatmeal & brown sugar
  • Italian spices
  • Chicken bouillon cubes
  • Dried fruit - Yes PLEASE
  • Cumino - not cumin. For fideo...duh!
I'm really excited about sending Ashley - my LOOVE - my letters and drawings. I'm even more thrilled about the moleskin we're gonna communicate with. Genius! I love it.

love iiitttt.
