Just a thought....
Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

Her name is Thumbelina

And she arrived today! Kippy, you had me in stitches!! "It's old and doesn't work great, but maybe Jurgis can do something with it."  We both packed up laughing! The package came untouched. They didn't even look! After all that blood, sweat and tears! And Jeremy, I can't wait to tuck into the books : )  Scenes from a Kayak was greedily devoured. I was so excited to finally see it! Absolutely fabulous!! Reviews to follow.



And... we got Jurgis' translations back. Next step is to start the application process *boom chaga chaga*

Now if you'll all excuse me, I have a teensy weensy toy to play with.....

    Ohhh ... haha. I should have recognized it. I never knew how to spell it and it's pronounced like jeldi. I think it's Hindi. I remember using it in the taxis a lot. haha.

    haha. Nah, you could be right, too. I didn't know how to spell very much of the language I spoke up there. You know how that goes?

    Remember when I was doing the good mood blogger thing, Kat? And afterwards they sent me a package of stuff? One of the things was an iPod Shuffle, which I knew Tint really needed. It's just now getting to her, thanks to my fear of customs and a seriously failed attempt at thwarting them a different way. :)

    I'm laughing over the thwarting customs part...Years ago I wanted to send Tat a few pairs of Dr. Martens-Tint told me how horrible customs was down there so I skipped it. However!!! I hear Tat has some stompin' Docs of her own now...but good you have a shuffle...and a book...and some stuff. Yay for inept government workers!!! Ha ha!!

    hahahaha! Kat... inept... omg... yes! *is very, very grateful this time* You know, the weird part is that since that time, I actually ordered shoes online a couple of times with no problem, but then I had hassles with a pair of pants I ordered. They're nutso here!

    Considers adding "Hamba! Hamba!" in Xhosa.... ok, that does mean 'go go', but you know what I mean. I don't think 'quick' occurs to them.

    Yes, it is fun : )
