Mail in, out

I got a box and a bubble mailer on a quick run to Walgreen's this afternoon so I could send off my swap box and also a little present for a friend who's suffered a few disappointments lately.

I came home to two boxes in the mail, which was nice.

First up: New Pone:



Bright Eyes, a twinkle-eye pony (described as "uncommon" and yes, I haven't seen her for sale before and don't often see her in people's collections). I just really liked the color combination and the cutie mark. The other one in Baby Blossom, and I am always a sucker for the baby ponies.

And now I look at them together, even though they are fairly different in coloring (and Baby Blossom is not twinkle-eye), I can't help but think of them as mother and daughter, so I think I'm going to keep them together.

I also got my Gacha Gacha crate for October. (I know, but there was a typhoon there that slowed everything down). There was a "ghost Pokemon" magnet, and a squishy animal sushi thing (really squishy - kind of unappealingly so), and a tiny Pluto dressed as a mummy, and this little dude

I guess he's from the Dragonball series? (He has a tiny pink halo on top of his yellow hair). He's oddly cute even though I have never given the anime more than a cursory viewing.

there may have been one other thing I'm forgetting, and then there was a cat hat. Yes, a hat you put on a cat. Mine was supposed to be a fox. Of course, I don't have a cat (though if I did, you can bet I'd be chasing him or her down to try to put the hat on him or her). But I do have stuffies.

My first thought was Toothless, because he is kind of catlike, but his head is too big.

So here's another one:

Heh, yeah, it works on Webby. I think she'd be the type to wear a hat with animal ears, at least some times.

Hopefully I'll have a bit of time and energy after bell choir to try to stick the feet on the toy cat but I wasted part of my early-afternoon home trying to figure out what was up with my Mastercard. It was declined when I tried to order my tickets, and then later it was declined at Walgreen's (in both cases, I used a different card). Apparently the issuer locked it when I tried to buy the tickets? Weird, because my OTHER mastercard (a Target card) worked fine. I don't know. But it was 21 minutes on the phone listening to tinny elevator music, talking to two different people (one of whom had a heavy accent and there was a bad connection so it was hard) and also having to type my number in so many times. I was almost crying by the time I got to the second person, who was ultimately the one who helped me...)

of course, I might also just take a hot bath and go to bed.
