WISHES GRANTED!!!!

Thanks to my mom, sister, and my fabulous former colleagues at Bittner & Hahs, PC (little shout-out on their behalf: Hey, do you need a will drawn up, or an LLC created? Do you have a problem tenant that you need to give the boot? Check them out at www.bittner-hahs.com !) I now have an ENTIRE QUIK-E-MART'S WORTH of junk food in my little bedroom! Yippee!!

THANK YOU EVERYONE! Know that when my hands are orange with Cheeto powder, I'm thinking of you. :)

[P.S. I'll go ahead and leave the text below just for posterity, or something like that.]

Five months in Moldova have flown by already, I can hardly believe it. One thing I do notice, though: random cravings for random things, oftentimes stuff I never wanted back when it was available. So for those of you kind souls who are interested in seriously brightening one girl's day (or who just want to read the stuff I've been fixated on lately) here are some of my top pined-for items, both of the mailable and not-so-mailable sort (i.e. sushi).

1. Peanut butter (creamy, and not the healthy kind!)
2. Febreeze (all clothes are line-dried, minus 15 or not, so you can imagine how long a batch of laundry takes)
3. Panda licorice (the black or raspberry kind) or good n plenty or something
4. Peanut butter m&ms, pb twix
5. Strawberry fruit rollups or strawberry gushers
6. Caramels (like those little square ones) or coffee nips...
7. teriyaki jerky
8. old fashioned donuts
9. OREO COOKIES
10. Cheese nip crackers

Okay, that's all for now.

[P.S. re photos: this is me with members of our women's association at their New Year's party. Notice the tinsle on heads...it was a good time. And you should have heard the toasts! This is a seriously feisty group of women.]
