Well, I bought it myself, but that doesn’t make it any less awesome.

I bought the Alex Ross Obama t-shirt!

I also bought one for my mom, and was tempted to send one to Eric, but I didn’t know his t-shirt size.

Loot for ME! Loot for ME! Loot for Me!

Yes, my prize for winning the Jim Wright is an Asshole contest has finally arrived!

And it’s actually a real prize this time!

I got expected loot, and totally unexpected loot!

What more could I want?

While we were gone, apple butter from Janiece arrived.

Being a good granddaughter, I opened the box to make sure nothing had broken, and then closed the box back up for my grandmother.

Since we did the Grandmom exchange with my aunt today, Grandmom finally opened the apple butter.

The jar is now sitting by her chair–presumably so no one else will open it first. :)

I actually got two postcards today. One from my cousin Ben who is in grad school in California, and the other from Nathan.

Nathan’s postcard is a lovely shot of the mountains across the lake, and although my backyard doesn’t quite look like that, the postcard is quite lovely.

However.

82 cents in postage? Really?

Nathan, you do realize that West Virginia is not, in fact, a foreign country, right? And it only costs 26 cents to mail a postcard?

Just checking.

Today I also got my loot for winning Todd‘s summer reading content!

It’s a bag of M&M’s that say Todd Wheeler, Contest 2008, and Summer Reading.

Thanks Todd!

As you may remember, I won Jim’s contest.

Today, my loot arrived!

By the way, I’m a jerk, because I’ve totally forgotten to thank Ilya for his lovely postcard. Those are lovely guns, and it’s best I not be around them when angry.

And I also forgot to mention that I TOTALLY WON Jim’s contest! (Go read the entries only if you are not faint of heart.) I’d like to say that makes all the pain and suffering of the past couple weeks worth it, but that would totally be a lie. So, I’ll leave it at YAY ME!

It’s been awhile since we went to the recycling center. And it’s been almost as long since I did more than pitch empty boxes down the stairs and then kick them out of the way when I went by.

Luckily, I had a better solution that to stop ordering loot.

However, I really do need to go to the recycling center.

Just not Saturday.

I got LOOT today!

I also laughed hysterically at the return address on one package. Thanks Nathan!

LOOT!

Nathan asked, “Any chance you’re going to tell us what was out of stock but is now on the way?”

And I warned him that it was geeky loot, and most people probably wouldn’t be amused.

Too bad! I’m amused!

I ordered….

Sorry Nathan and John, but y’all lose out to the loot I got today:

MAPLE SYRUP! From our enemy to the north–I mean Kim!

Michael decided to make pancakes for dinner, just for the occasion.

Mmmm! Pancakes! With maple syrup! Yummy!

Holy Shit!

I just got loot from Janiece! I am so not going to spoil the surprise for anyone else, but it is AWESOME!

With a capital AWE!

In fact, I am a winner! A winner in Todd Wheelers reading contest!

And I didn’t just get bragging rights, no! I got LOOT!

Hopefully Todd doesn’t look at my library post, or else he’ll realize just how much trouble he could be in!
