Not having a safely operating vehicle makes it pretty damn hard to get to the post office. I could normally get around this by printing out my labels using paypal, but my computer is busted, and the printer is out of ink. Sigh. I'd love to catch a break here one of these days. So anyway, I was thrilled to discover a little "Pack and Ship" store on my way to Food Lion yesterday. Ooh rah. D and I walked over there this evening, so I could finally mail my Falling Yarn package and a purchase order from ebay. Thankfully, they don't charge any crazy fees or anything like that. I already had my packages addressed and sealed,just needed to pay and drop them off. The only downside is that they do not offer delivery confirmation. But I'll take it. Not like I have much choice!

I'm getting excited about my lil sis coming to visit. Poor thing is stuck in NC until we can pick her up next Saturday, and is sick with a cold. Just make sure you leave it there, Mallory! Otherwise you can wipe the monsters snotty noses *lol* We're gonna have a good time just hanging out, and I will SO welcome the help getting ready for my clan to descend for Thanksgiving. The pie preparation alone was making me feel faint. My folks don't arrive until Wednesday night, so I was going to have to do them all myself! Plus, we're celebrating Gabriel's 5th (!!!!!) birthday the day after Thanksgiving, after the shopping extravaganza, of course *lol* It's going to be a very scurvy pirate party! Everyone is going to wear eye patches and bandanas, and will be required to stencil a curly mustache with eye liner :) we're going to have a treasure hunt, which will end with the discovery of a treasure chest (decorated by mommy!) filled to the brim with chocolate coins. Beats a pinata anyday! So needless to say, I have a lot of work coming up in the next few weeks, and will definetely be putting Mal to work. Sick or not, little sis!! :)
