I knew if I whined it would make my elephant get here quicker–my elephant was delivered yesterday afternoon. Unfortunately, no Doper name was included so I don’t know whom to thank. Thank you, anonymous Doper!
My elephant included:
A Drinking Bird! Mr.stretch was so excited he had to set it up right away and it’s still going in our kitchen this morning.
A 4-inch inflatable purple ball with a face on it – my 2-year old grandson will love this.
A copy of Photo Explosion software – if only I wasn’t too lazy to do something with the photos I take!
Verne the Turtle, a stuffed Over the Hedge animal – again, the grandbaby will be pleased, if I can keep it away from the dogs.
A fabric flower crown with flowing lavender and white ribbons – which I wore around the house last night until my husband made me take it off.
3 comic books: 2 Lady Death, 1 Alpha Flight - into the pile of grandkid stuff for as he grows, though I think mr.stretch will abscond with them first.
Manner Mignon chocolate covered hazelnut wafers – haven’t opened it yet, but someone will eat them.
A can of cherry 7-up – if I put it in the fridge, someone will drink it.
A box of Jiffy corn muffin mix – which will be eaten next time we have chili or lentil stew.
Bumble Bee tuna salad w/ crackers – lunch!
A partial can of goofy string – which will be used with my grandson at his house!
Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events The Bad Beginning – I haven’t read any of these yet; here’s my chance to start.
A homemade bean bag snake – goes to my oldest daughter to hang out with her bean bag frog collection.
Spa retreat cherry blossom incense sticks – to the oldest daughter; she loves frou frou.
A magic towel – it’s a small heart-shaped package that you throw in the water and it makes a 12x12 inch towel. It appears that it will be a purple dragon after I make it big. That’s something I’m saving to do with the grandson as well.
Small purple squirt gun – for the cats!
A pottery…experiment? Egg cup for condor eggs? Not sure what this is supposed to be.
Two silver rod and red bead bracelets that mr.stretch really likes for some reason. I think I may take them apart and use the beads and rods to decorate some hairsticks.
A Southwest Airlines sticker.
A pewter? dragon. Did this guy used to hold a crystal?
Small bungee cord - mr.stretch has dibs on this.
A hospital gown from St. Josephs Regional Health System April 03. I hope I won’t need this for anything.
A Mondale-Ferraro 1984 campaign button. I love this! I was 18 that year and I voted for Mondale. Oh, how our past comes back to haunt us.
Thanks again, elephanteer! And thank you, alice, for arranging this. I can hardly wait for next time.
