Today I received in the mail:

Soaps from Julie, mailed from Canada on Dec 16.
Postcard from Daniel, sent from Japan around Jan 6.

Fail, Canada Post, Fail.

In other news, I took my camera to Austin on Saturday and left it in Josh's car. And I need to to take pictures for school. And I need to make myself get back in the habit of doing school work at home/at all. And I should get dinner and/or possibly some groceries. And I would like to make some cookies. And And And.

While in Austin on the weekend, I let Zari entice me into another knitting project. I'm gonna make a bigass triangle shawl! It will be deep burgandy and a deep orange paired together. Should be pretty. However I keep messing up my knitting in frustrating ways, with the added annoyance that I will have to wait a couple of days before I am physically close enough to anyone who might be able to help me fix it to do anything about it. So, bah! I dropped/slipped a stitch on the end (I think) - that is my current hang-up. I hate getting stalled on projects that I am keen on - it induces this nigh-constant level of frustration, which gets worse whenever I make myself think about it by doing time-wasting things like writing a live-journal post. Hmmm....

Not sure how the rest of my night is going to break down. Groceries are a must as I am out of bread/bagels (for toast and sammiches, etc), and I need to figure out what i am doing for dinner tomorrow so I can prep anything that might need to go in the crock pot (take meat out of freezer, etc).

For those of you who don't know, Julie was down visiting this past week and it was quite awesome and now she is back home and I am sad. And yesterday was (I think?) the first day I had all to myself since Christmas, and it was awful (not because of loneliness, but rather because of mechanical issues and knitting frustrations). This is a shame as I usually enjoy time alone to some extent, especially after so long without a break!

Ahh well. I must do something to improve my day. But what! :o

Also I still can't find my keys. the last time I had them for *sure* was Thursday afternoon when I went in to school to shut down my computer... I might have had them Friday morning, but I don't 100% remember :x

It might be a combination of Canada Post AND US Customs. Handmade soaps might have mad cow fat in them, I suppose! If that's what kind of soap they were...

No apparent customs tampering!

They were just glycerin soaps in a little tin :3

I want someone to send you something dyed the colour blue done in the traditional manner from the Acadian peninsula, and list one of the active ingredients used to make the item, virgin boy piss and see how customs react to that.
