A weeeeeeny bit strung out here.
OK. I need to take things to the US. So far, JSB seems to be the most demanding (he trades crude oil. This is not unexpected).
- Crunchies
- PG Tips
- Mini Creme Eggs.
MajorKnitter wants Dark Chocolate; and I bet Primogeniture and Secundogeniture would like some English Creme Eggs.
And, for Sara, there is the possibility of Creme Eggs and Surprises.
Somehow, though I feel like I've forgotten stuff. I have to keep reminding myself that I am going to the US, not India. It is Dead Easy to get substitutes for stuff I've forgotten.
Must pack moisturiser (face and body), hair doodads, makeup, the power cable for the laptop, the power cable for the iPod, the phone chargers....
Had post-work bowling tonight. Never again. What Jo would call my autistic tendencies come to the fore, I demonstrate complete social ineptitude, refuse to have my photo taken, and find the fact that people are making genuine, positive, encouraging noises very annoying. I'd really prefer it if they didn't. I do not respond well to encouragement, which makes me really rather peculiar. Have since come home and decided that I am lacking in protein. Hmmmm.

I might have remembered. Spare sock yarn. Or, rather, leftover sock yarn. For MajorKnitter. For Knit Knotes. I like to try and make sure that she never, ever, runs out...

No worries. Surprises make me happy. As do eggs!
That's true; she does love the eggs.
I personally feel that not responding well to encouragement just makes you British. I always view encouragement and support with suspicion, though not as much as that with which I view enthusiasm.
My latest after work socialising was highlighted by one of my colleagues telling me "The more I get to know you, the more frightening you are". I'm hoping it was mostly a joke.
I got you peeps last night from Target, btw.
Happy Leap Day!
