My day off

Here goes my second blog:

Today is my day off, and here I am laying in bed. I've been awake since 7 AM, and have been figuring out how to convert a png. file to a jpeg. file. Why? Because I am sending Jerry this thing called Moto mail, which is an online website where I can write to him for free, and it will print within 24 hours. I can attach a picture on to the letter, but it has to be in a jpeg. file. Speaking of which, I haven't talked to him for four days. He said I would be able to talk to him in a week, but I never really count on a specific timeline. The last time we web cammed was a good two weeks ago, here are some screen shots.

We talked for a good two hours, yet it still felt like two minutes. Although he's 6,000 miles away, he still has room to be silly. He says its pretty cold there, and I hope he will get his hand warmers soon. I sent him four boxes last week, and completely decorated with the Christmas theme. I hope he will find a little piece of home when he opens it. I even made little gift bags for his squad, just a little something something to show them my appreciation.

 



And it was shipped off on Friday, December 10th 2010. I hope he will get it sometime around Christmas, if not then in the new years. I am just simply amazed how I can just send him stuff, and it will get to him. Now only if I can ship myself!

Well, I feel like I'm having more fun making it then to enter it in the contest. Let's see how this goes, I add some more stuff to it today. This is the first gingerbread house I've built that I actually went out of my way to make it look nice. Wish me luck!
