My Friends Crack Me Up
This happens on a regular basis, true, but in this case I’m referring to one particular instance involving one particular friend.
Backstory: Around Easter, penny_karma had been grumbling about her inability to locate Cadbury Mini Eggs. I happened to be in my local Target right after Easter, and found a crap-ton of them on uber-clearance. So, I hooked her up. In return, she promised me something very nifty that she had seen at the St. Louis Science Center. Last Tuesday, that something arrived. With friends.
The something cool (officially) are the shot glasses. Yes, they have carabiners on the side. We thought they’d be a complete hoot for EdFest. However, she also sent me other goodies – 6 skeins of Moda Dea Eden in “Fig Leaf” (Anyone else find that combo amusing? Eden… Fig leaf…), a set of Star Trek PEZ dispensers (which Kris has claimed and are now displayed on his desk), a set of yarn-pr0n-themed coasters, and some Sexy Motherpucker lip gloss. (And we’ll not discuss the non-photographed item, k Sarah?)
Oh, and Sarah? I have a Plan for the yarn, by the way. I think you’ll approve.
You rock, woman, you really do. One of these days, I swear!
ETA: OK, OK. I should have known better than to mention it. I was hoping to avoid scary search referrals.
The item not appearing in the photo is a certain feminine product with an “inspirational message” on the wrapper. I believe PK has ranted about them in the past, but I can’t find the post. Mine says “Practice your victory speech”.

Ha, their curiosity was too much! I’m so glad you dug that Big Mess O’ Penny Luvin! Sorry I didn’t get a chance to comment until now – my parental unit just left a little bit ago and I’m finally catching up on my blogreading.
