shame on you, you fool me once

My mom's been getting books in the mail, lucky duck.

She did this kind of chain-mail-book-club thing.

I'm not entirely sure how it works b/c I haven't exactly sat down with her to have it explained. But, like, you send little note cards out telling people about it. Then they send the note cards out and send a book to who sent it initially to you. Then the people your friends sent it to, send you a book. So basically you're getting books from strangers. Or from a-friend-of-a-friend type thing. It seems pretty cool and I absolutely LOVE getting things in the mail.....which never happens unless I order something on line. (I have no clue if I even explained this in a way that people will understand.)

So in the end, I'm thinking about doing this. Problem is, the only people I really know to send it to are family members and my mom already has them all covered. I mean, I really only hang out with three people and to be quite honest, at best, I can only think of one of them that may continue with the chain. But even she might not do it with all the other things on her plate. ie: her 5 yr old, her job, and school. So who knows. I might not do it. I'll probably need my mom to explain it to me in full detail before I choose whether or not to do it. *shrug* I dunno. It could be very cool though.

As for other news: i totally saw REAL FLAMINGOS on Sunday! And to top it off, there was a baby flamingo too! He was gray and fluffy, he looked like he still had down-feathers. But seriously, it was frickin amazing! I'll have to post pictures soon from all my trips on vacation. I had a blast. I think I'm still tired out from everything. But it was definitely worth it. XD   And hopefully we'll be taking a trip to another zoo next year. I could seriously visit all the zoos in all the world and still not get enough!

So I told my mom the other day that I wanted to go to another zoo this summer. Last year we went to York's Wild Kingdom. It was amazing! And I got to feed goats, baby deer, and an elephant named Lydia who I then rode! Srsly!

This year we might be going to the Stone Zoo. It's in Mass. Mom looked it up the other night after I told her about my wish to take another trip to a zoo. It's only an hour away and it's NINE BUCKS to get in! PLUS: they have a colony of flamingos!!!!! Just like this:

Yeah, I'm excited. I can't wait to go. Especially since I have my awesome camera with 12x optical zoom I got this past Thanksgiving. It's so fucking awesome. I'll have better pictures than the ones I got at York's. :D

Now I have to eat something and get showered, dressed and all prettied up for my appointment.

Lets do lunch later.
