My palm tree, which now I’m not so sure is going to die, is now taller than me!

I’ve been winning like crazy with Zazzle between 3 different e-mail addresses. They wouldn’t do the shirt I made up for myself with Barbie on it which is strange. I took that picture myself. Even Webshots lets you post Barbie pictures. You can’t do celebrities, though. We got the first sheet of stamps we won, and Tom’s shirt is on its way. I’m going to surprise him with it. He knows it’s coming, but doesn’t know what’s on it. I put Blondie’s picture on front of a light blue shirt and wrote: To My Loving Husband, Love You Always, Jodi. On the back, I put a cute mouse picture. Last night both my email addresses won, so I made stamps and a pink T-shirt for me with a rat close-up. I have ideas for more shirts and stamps if I won again, and at the rate I’m going, I’d say I will for sure!

I still haven’t gotten any lotions, books or DVDs I won, but I got the ugly King Kong poster.

We got tons of stuff on Friday and still have tons more coming. I stood up for 18 hours till UPS came on Friday with a game for his X-box. Tom told me not to worry about it, but I’d have hated to see him have to walk a couple of miles in this cold to pick it up himself at the UPS station. Just 4 hours into my sleep the regular mailman knocked me awake with my pants. The pants are a good fit, but long. Since I’m not great at sewing and can’t seem to make my stitches nearly as tight as I’d like to without it taking forever, we’re ordering hemming glue. Also to arrive were the stamps and the Jewelia doll, though if they knocked, I was too beat to hear it.

This fairy doll is so cute. Instead of her mold being of the typical solid flesh tone, it’s of clear glitter. She has lights in her to make her legs and body light up. I think I’ll get the one in pink, too. This one’s in blue. I have about 5 Barbies currently on my list, 6 Tonners, and lots of other odds and ends, both big and small.

We got the ASL CD. They use animated illustrations and I wouldn’t recommend it for beginners because the animations aren’t great on some of the signs. It’s still cool to have. As an experienced signer, it’ll keep me up to date easily enough. It’s a good refresher CD, you could say, though I find I keep my signs up if I think the signs every now and then to lyrics when I’m listening to music.

I also got my lip glosses and a pen that must be associated somehow with the sweeps or something I signed up for.

The things we’re still expecting are the oils, another Tonner doll (basic Angelina), the White Shoulders gift set, the Elektra Barbie doll, stuff from Zazzle, plus my Yves order. I just hope they didn’t fuck up the oil order, the one I look most forward to!

It has been so cold. Like in the single digits. I hate it! The pipes have been freezing at times and we have a hard time getting the water overly hot because the tank is outside in the utility with no insulation.

Just when I thought I’d be stuck at 39 views forever, I got my 40th view from the little boogers I used to go to school with, though they never request pictures or anything like that. That’s because I don’t think there are any gold members in this thing.

It bothers me that I’m not bothered by my lack of desire to have sex with Tom, but I suppose I should be glad. I mean, what would be the point of desiring someone I couldn’t have? Then again, I could probably have him, but I’d practically have to get down on my knees and beg the guy to do me, and he’d probably only do it only once every year or two, and I wouldn’t want to want someone like that; that didn’t desire me.
