Who's swagging me now?

Pirate Queen, blogger extraordinaire, and Tom Jones's number 1 Canadian fan, Captain Karen is swagging me now! She sent me a petit paquet via par avion! (That's small packet via air mail to you philistines.) And she sent it to me in spite of the fact that I often dress myself in clashing plaids. Case in point, I wore this blue plaid shirt with these green plaid shorts today: Anyhoo, this is what came in my package from north of the border: a travel pack of tissue with a cute monkey on it, a little plush monkey with stretchy rubbery arms, which I can do things like this with. Also in the prize pack was this little toy set: My bad photography skills prevent you from seeing the winged monkeys in the bottom left corner, so you'll have to trust me when I tell you how cool they look. She also sent a bar of super good quality chocolate with a chimp on it but unfortunately since the temps are in the high 70's to low 80's here and the sun is out in full force it was all melty by the time I got it out of the petit paquet. But like all smart commanders of ships that sail the high seas, Capt. Karen planned ahead, she put the candy bar in a little sealed plastic baggy. Said bar and bag are now residing in my freezer and hopefully I'll be able to have a nibble off it soon.

Many thanks to you my nautical liege Captain Karen for being so thoughtful, generous, and sweet. I'll be returning the favor soon.

On a side note, I lived for 45 years on this planet and I never ever got any mail or packages from anyone outside of this country. But now since I've made so many great and kind friends through my blog, I've gotten all kinds of mail and neat gifts from some wonderfully nice and beautiful women in Canada. And to be fair, I've gotten some great fun stuff from swell folks here in the USA too. I always wanted a pen pal from a far away place when I was a kid and now that I have a blog I've got a ton of them.
