Confession time

Okay, so you all know that Darling Daughter helped me pick the names for the Traveling Bloggy Box on Saturday - which in itself is embarrassing because it should have been in the mail 2 weeks ago.

But we missed the mail on Saturday and you know what that means....

No mail on Sunday.

And NO MAIL ON MONDAY!
Thank you very much Christopher Columbus. Not.

So the box only went out to Tiffany today. I'm sorry I'm a slacker. I did send it Priority mail (only because it was only like 40 cents more than the other way).

This box was heavy - more than 6 pounds. I wouldn't recommend that you go heavy, but it's up to you. I don't want anyone to go broke from the mailing. There's lots of fun stuff that doesn't weigh (or cost) a lot.

I did include 2 books, if Tiffany doesn't like them, they might get passed on. They were not new. One came to me from my Saskatchewan friend (hi Tracy!) when she finished it on our Chicago trip, and one was a garage sale find. But I love books and I love seeing them get passed on to other readers.

Now that the box is set up - the journal, the order of mailing, the addresses - I hope it will move along quicker than it took me to get it on its way. You can reuse the box (it's sort of an odd size) or use another box, just take pics as you unpack it and write in the journal and don't forget to include the journal and addresses when you send it on.

At the end of the journey, I'll blog the journal entries maybe? Or send the journal around a second time so you can all read them? What makes sense?

In other news today:

• Number One Son's football team won their game today 29 to 14. It was 25 to 0 until the last quarter. #10 on the other team was a fast little critter - very short and he outran everyone for a touchdown (twice) where he outpaced everyone by half a football field almost.
• Our Indian Summer is over, I think. It went from 75 to 55 degrees and the wind was BLOWING on the football field. Brrrr.
• DH left today for his 11 day travel extravaganza. Part business and part pleasure.
• Since DH wasn't around and the football game ran late, I picked up takeout from Aja Noodle. Yum. That's my guilty pleasure (takeout, not Aja Noodle in particular) when DH is gone. Because let's face it, it's cheaper to order takeout for one adult and 2 kids than it is to order for 2 adults and 2 kids, especially when one adult has a hearty appetite.
• Mickey's hockey practice tomorrow night is at the big rink. Yup, the one with the heated bar and good draft beers and sweet potato fries. :-)
  
• Anyone pick up those Rocky Road snickers? I brought them to work today and they got me through the day. They are omigosh good!

Later, gators.
