Today began with an email in my inbox announcing that I was the lucky recipient of one "small animal skull" and a bonus TOOTH! Wahooooo! I'll post pictures when it arrives from the Dalles... But until then, know that every once in a while Craigslist is totally awesome. Really? I send an email and then someone writes back saying that they're going to mail it out for me? And I wasn't even the only responder, lest ye think that "well, duh! she's the only one who wanted the damn thing!" Cause I *wasn't* the only one. I even won out over a science teacher. (I know, maybe I should have let the science teacher have it. But y'all know how I love me some skulls.)
Further more, in this afternoon's developments, a woman named Kate wrote back and said that the canning jars I emailed about yesterday were ready for pick up.
There were a couple dozen jars on her porch when I got there, apparently no one else had come yet to pick them up. And again, you might say, "Ummmmm yeah? Cause who the eff wants nasty ol' jars?" But these are a combination of old pharmacy type jars, wire close glass lidded Ball & Kerr jars, and some nice big wide mouth canning jars. People are always on the look out for these suckers. And now, I have a stash!
They're in the washer as I type... I was so excited. Now I have plenty (despite the gorgeous french-ish ones that my dear, sweet MIL gave me recently, and those were filled the same day I brought them home with ribbons & trinkets) for little things like safety pins, and tiny buttons... I might even share some... I'm so excited I might go see if the dishwasher is done...
I know. I'm a nerd.
