Socks from London I can eat?
Sorry I had big plans to blog but you know it takes awhile to adjust so I've been on a bit of a hiatus. It takes a lot for me to reach these keys this post alone will probably take a couple weeks to pound out with my nose so don't expect much.
Liz participated in FOUR Reddit exchanges. It might have been a bit too much but she loves it. She signed up for stickers, socks, 100th exchange and snacks. She sent gifts to England, Poland, California and Hong Kong! (By the way USPS your tracking for flat rate is inexcusably atrocious! I hope you bankrupt!) She was stiffed on her last exchange the Harry Potter exchange and has yet to be re-matched but she knows there is always a chance of that happening so life goes on. This round she has done pretty well! She received her 100th exchange---get this--- a mold to make CHOCOLATE DINOS!(and frogs but I don't care about frogs only about mini-mes.) and a double boiler pan and chocolate. Today her socks arrived as well as books she ordered by Sherman Alexie. I don't read and she wasn't home and the wait was killing me so I ripped open that package of socks! The customs forms said it contained socks and candy and I was hoping maybe it would be a candy cat because we know I love cats. I am not even sure what socks are until Liz showed me. Here are some pictures.
Is it a nose warmer? Hand warmer? leg warmer? Tail warmer? Oh they go on your smelly feet? Well whateves. I may have gotten a little to excited by the adorable candies and threw them up in the air like I just didn't care.
I'm a weeeeeee bit excited at these great things from London!
Liz says I am never to touch her mail again. (I might sneak a snack or two she won't know!)
Liz also says if you are interested in participating in a gift exchange check out this page
http://redditgifts.com/exchanges/#/select She says it is free to sign up. Just make sure you don't stiff someone because that is not kind. Not even for a cat eating dinosaur. You can choose to ship internationally or nationally. you get totally randomly matched to someone who gets matched to someone else. You send and receive a gift. Most the time they are great sometimes not and sometimes nothing at all. It's all a bit of a gamble but who doesn't love to put together a little gift to make someone else's day a bit brighter. Plus I was born from an exchange so that's all the reason you need to participate!
So in other news I went to work with Liz. Liz works with children in foster care and supervises visits between then and their parents. Sometimes she gets to plan visits for siblings placed in different homes. She loves those best. She took some pictures and tried to upload them then the dummy I mean nice and kind and super smart girl deleted the pics from her phone as they were uploading. So now they are lost. But I got to stomp on a long runway of green bubble wrap. and play a game called Trouble. And be hugged by a great little boy. His sister gave me a nick name Tex. Tex the T-rex. So my full name is Timothy Tex the T-rex. Liz and I love rhymes.
Liz left me in car the following day. She didn't have time to take me back in the house. This is why Liz doesn't have children. She would totes be leaving those guys at the store and the car and outside. Anyway the first kids she picked up were a brother and sister around the ages of 2 and 4. She told them all about how mu name was Tex and that I like to eat cats. So the first thing they tell their mom who hadn't yet seen me, is that Liz has a dinosaur, in her car named Tex who eats cats but is a nice dinosaur. Liz was a little embarrassed but whatevs. I had fun. Then she took me to pick up the next child who is 2. He is a lovely chap. One of Liz's favorites. I was in the back seat and as Liz was putting him in the car he asked "What's that?" smiling. Liz had explained she had her pet dinosaur with her today and his name was Tex and he eats cats. So Liz went to move me closer and his little adorable face squished up, turned red and then water started leaking him from his eyes. So Liz put me in the front seat and got as much air from me as she could and covered me up with her coat. She felt pretty bad. I was pretty embarrassed that the little lad was scared. Liz tried to get him to like me but he would only not cry if she hugged and kissed me. HOW EMBARRASSING! Even after all that hugging he still said "Noooooooo" in a whiny tone. So no more ride alongs for me.
Liz sent in our passports to get renewed so we can go to Paraguay in July. She says I have to ride in the suitcase cause she is cheap and won't by me a ticket. A bit rude I think. Though maybe I will go carry on. Do you think it would cause problems Maybe that is how Liz can get a WHOLE ROW OF SEATS ALL TO HERSELF cause who is going to want to sit next to crazy lady with a ferocious pet dinosaur?

Oh no the cat is here and my stubby arms are covered in socks I can't get him!

| Look at this lovely lady I hear she is a Queen. Maybe she would like me to visit? Liz says probably not. And check out those fun candies! I love the sporty people ones. They leave a bit of fizz on your tongue! |
