Taking a break from Ike coverage...

It was a long weekend to say the least. Today when I thought I'd get the chance to sleep with no interruption, my hubby came home in between going to different factories, he woke me to fill out some form for medical insurance. Oh well, it was 10:30a.m. anyway...

It wouldn't have been so bad had I not been up so late last night. (Don't ask! Little of this & a little of that!!) Anyway... I ended up getting a package in the mail today, that I had been waiting for a LONG time... (It was mailed on July 7th!!) ... It was from our Australian friend Caghs (aka Kitty)!! As you can see by the picture... It was of some GOODIES!!

I was hoping to post a video of my reaction just after I unwrapped the little containers of Milo (it's like Nestle's Cocoa... or Ovaltine.) & saw the Aussie flag, (Thanks again Kitty!!)... but... well... there's a little problem with the site I'm using to upload the video. If I wasn't so tired, I'd keep trying... but twice was enough for me right now.

It's too long of a video to post to YouTube or even directly here on Multiply... I'll just wait until JumpCut is working properly again.


Anyway, at least I have pictures... Better yet, I HAVE MY TIM TAMS!!!!

I'm not the least bit excited!

As for the Ike coverage... I'm not through with that either... I have several videos to share... I will post them soon as I can get them to upload. (Maybe a day or so.)

That's it for this ride. Enjoy your Monday!!

  3. What a nice friendly surprise of the package. It must have been on a pretty slow freighter from Australia.

  5. Crikey, that box looks quite a bit different to when I sent it. Did they play footy with it or something? o.O

  6. I try to send first parcels air mail :) Because they're generally samplers, they're not so big, and don't cost so much to send ;)

  7. Milo's actually not like cocoa or ovaltine ... it's a malt drink, for a start, and it's rich, chocolately HEAVEN :D

  8. well... that being the case... I think I'll just have you send 1 package a month... via air mail!! LOL!!!

    (are they making the samplers again?)

    If not... maybe we can get a bunch of people to email Arnott's to ask for them!! LOL!! :o) ... oh... yeah... drinking through as with a straw... worked better with the larger ones... than the little ones! :)
