The Jar O' Joy continues

Aack! I just wrote out all kinds of oodles and bits only to have the entire page disappear...I have no idea what happened though I suspect my left pinky may have had something to do with it! Sneaky! Phew! After 13 days floating around the U.S. the Jar O' Joy has finally reached its destination. I hope hope hope Deb gets a gleeful kick outta of the wacky innards as I had a blast stuffing that thing! I didn;t stuff it nearly as much as Mel did for me. My items were a bit more bulky but I think I did a pretty good job. Let's see...I managed:

*lobster dashboard dollie
*2 fabulously funky ocktail muscle men
*charm-a-liscious dragonflies
*a Lindt chocolate lamb or two
*CHoward's Violet candies
*a kokeshi doll
*wind up gorilla that flips
*nifty japanese notepad keychain from MOCA
*2 large paper umbrellas
*African nectar tea from Mighty Leaf
*painted green tin heart "ornament" from Cost Plus
*rosemary mint soap from Whole Foods

Not bad, right? Today is doctor day where I FINALLY will get to hear the results from my ultrasound back in December! Yes, I know! You're thinking WHAT? Me to! I called and called and called and nothing so today I go in for a gilrie exam and then my results. See, I'm a DES daughter and along with the DES (scary cancer stuff) comes alll sorts of reproductive abnormalities. Mr.A-go-go & I are trying for a wee go-go and it is kinda looking like it won't be in the cards and the ultrasound will tell us how abnormal my girlie parts are. I hope all is well, it should be since it has been three months since the test but if it isn't, I'm afraid I will go a wee bit postal on the doc and yes, I'm already on the lookout for a new doc. You gotta love insurance, right? Wish me luck folks. This DES stigma really sucks and I try not to dwell on it too much but it plain and simple sucks. Which is why I am looking forward to cupcakey goodness, ANTM and hanging out with my gal Gelato-g! I need to get bigger envies to mail my coco bunnies so Happy Wednesday Folks!

A joyful jar

the jar o' joy

I was the first in line for the Jar O' Joy and Wow! Wow! Wow! Did ms.mel pack it full or what? I've just finished filling the jar for the next person and I only hope it pleases her since I know nothing about her! I had fun and it isn't as jam packed as it was when I got it but there's a little bit of kitsch and a wee bit o' pretty so I hope she gets a kick outta it.

Today is a gorgeous gorgeous day and I have all the windows open and did a wee bit o' cleaning, a tiny bit o' baking and a whole lotta picture uploading. Phew! The husbandman & I had a pretty good anniversary outing and I took a zillion pictures. Sadly, the mavica is really losing its oomph and our jumping pictures are not as clear as I would like. I need to get some more goodies into the shop because soon, I won't have a camera anymore. Feel free to donate to this worthy cause...I won't mind, really! :)

Ooh! I forgot to add that I saw a falcon this morning in the pine tree just outside my window! So cool!

Time for some movie watching. We've got the Gidget collection and Eating Raoul.
