Socks!

[deathpixie]

I have socks! Many many socks, since not one but two parcels just arrived. Thank you so much to [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] and [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] for taking pity on my sockless state and sending me many. Also thanks to [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] for mailing Raph's parcel for her.

I also have chocolate and Natural Confectionary Company squirms. Yum, sour candy. :) I, alas, do not have Vegemite - the jar rather thoroughly broke in tranist. Woe. But still... socks! Cute socks and warm Explorer socks and socks I can wear for job interviews and socks with butterflies that are just mind-boggling. ;)

Dangit, I thought I wrapped that jar rather securely in the socks. I didn't think it'd break unless someone dropped something on the box.

And man, you should SEE the customs forms I had to fill out to mail that sucker. Not to mention the postal inspector going "And just WHAT is Vegemite?"

Ah, civil servants.

The socks were on the bottom cushioning nicely, but the top wasn't so protected. :( But thanks for trying.

And yeah, mailing stuff's gotten harder since 9/11. I sent over a box of chocolate for Kielle's hen's night, and as a joke I wrote "diabetes in a box" on the outside. I got _so_ much crap for that given the whole anthrax thing that was going on. I ended up having to scribble it out.

Genuine Australian Vegemite is almost surely available in Toronto, since I can get it at the local Loblaws here. The thought of Vegemite oozing through a entire of box of books and socks is deeply disturbing. It would probably be impossible to contain, and would ooze out and thinly coat every surface of the plane or truck used to carry the package to its destination...

*phbbts* It was very well behaved. No oozing. The problem was the tiny shards of broken glass everywhere...

Oh yay! They arrived! I was so worried -- I tried to send a box to Melly when she was here and found them on my doorstep some six months later. (Sarah + Post Office != OTP)

I found the butterfly ones weirdly appealing. Emphasis on the weird, though. ;)

*hugs* Thanks again. Mindy will appreciate the weirdly appealing as much as I do - she has monkey toe socks. ;)

The plainer ones are perfect for job searching clothes - thin enough to wear with my work shoes and plain without being corporate blah. ;)

Buggerit! However, all is not lost. You can order vegemite from America.
