Floored

Shopping from US online stores isn’t always the easiest thing when you are living across the Atlantic. Some stores don’t ship internationally at all, which is a pita when the items they offer aren’t available elsewhere. Fortunately for me, Jen <3 doesn’t mind being the middle man, meaning I have the stuff shipped to her, and then she sends it to Norway. This summer my oldest kiddo had his mind set on a Godzilla playset found on Amazon.com, and of course they wouldn’t ship directly. Jen to the rescue, she told me go ahead and send it here, I have a few things I want to send to you anyway. Today those “few things” arrived..! Adrian was dead happy to get his monster figures, and I? I was beyond thrilled to find not one, but _two_, bento box sets, _lots_ of bento supplies (rice molds, egg molds, sauce bottles, food picks, grass dividers). Bath’n'Body lotions, a Hello Kitty notepad, a box of Pocky and two boxes of yummy Pretz, om nom nom nom..! The gift was made even more special when I learned that Jen has a pink version of the box on the picture, and that she and Sarah both have the black box with rabbits and birds. We’re connected!

I’ve added photos of the “haul” on flickr, please have a look! Oh, and on the subject on other sites: I’ve set up a dolls&toys LJ. I didn’t want to mix personal entries with squeeing over plastic, and I am pretty certain most of those I’ll add as flisters on that doll journal won’t be too interested in what’s going on in my non-dolling world. Please add moeeeh! ო if you want to keep up with my collections! (Why “moe“?)

Off to Denmark tomorrow, on Thurs-Friday I am participating in an Umbraco training course in Copenhagen. We are thinking of using this CMS for low budget clients, will be interesting! I am going alone, and “have to” spend an extra day (tomorrow) because of stupid flight schedules. Am taking my camera with me and hoping for nice weather! Now I’d better log off and set up the laptop I am bringing along..!
