If you’re a regular here, you’ll know that I recently made a post about participating in Just One Miss’ Dollar Store Challenge 2010. Canadians answered the call to participate.

So I eventually (hey it was only like a week late), dragged my butt and the Poptart to the loonie store and got a box of stuff (and the box) for Princess Jenn. I didn’t take pictures of it before I sent it, but you can see her post on it.

Carrie sent me a box. I offered to meet her to get it and just save on postage, but she sent it anyways. For a minute, I couldn’t figure out why I got a box from an organization I deal with occasionally at work, but then the lightbulb went on.

That, incidentally, was a Very Good Day, because I got two packages in the mail and I think that it was when I was starting to get the nanny stuff sorted out.*

Anyways, Carrie sent me a bunch of stuff for both me and the poptart (who is turning one soon). She also stuck labels with instructions on everything.

I supposed to wear these to the next tweetup/meetup/whatever:

Between the socks and the sunglasses, I will be STYLIN’.

Or something.

The Poptart has an Easter Costume. And I didn’t even have to buy it. The instructions on this one require a photograph.

And what’s a photo without a frame to put it in?

Did I mention she’ll be 1 soon? OMG. My baby.

And she’s having at least 2 birthday get-togethers: one for close family and friends, and one joint one for her playgroup since all the babies are around the same age.

I was just saying the other day how I needed more magnets for my fridge, because mine are mostly (a) crappy or (b) broken. Bonus points for it being a cat. A green cat.

Baby socks that aren’t so baby-ish suddenly any more. The sizing is 9-18 months (that’s up to a year and a half, people, unless you’re my baby with the monster feet. Then it’ll only fit til a year)

On this, Carrie was wrong. The tag says anyone taking an econ course needs multiple calculators. She’s wrong, because anyone taking an economics course needs multiple bottles of wine.

The course I’m taking is public sector financial management (which is as thrilling as it sounds) and requires multiple bottles of wine. And it’s so intriguing, I’m typing this while the baby’s sleeping instead of studying for my (open-book) final on Monday.

And finally to deal with the stress of the public sector financial management and the Poptart turning 1 (sadly, no wine was in the box, although loonie store wine doesn’t sound like a good idea), some spa supplies:
