Favorite Things Swap
Since I love swaps, I have decided to host another one for spring. This will be a "favorite things" swap. Send your partner some of your favorite things that you simply absolutely cannot live without, and she will send you the same. Within reason. If you love to bake but your partner only uses her oven to keep sweaters in, don't send her scone mixes. The spending minimum for this will be $35. If you are interested in participating, leave a comment on this post by Saturday. I will pair up partners and post a list on Sunday. Packages should be mailed out by June 19th. Currently, my blog does not allow anonymous comments. If you would like to participate but don't have a blogspot username, please email me at whaleflipflops {@} gmail {.} com and I will pair you with a partner. :)
ETA: Please leave your email address in the comment so that your partner can have a way of contacting you.

Beverage Swap Partners
Thank you to everyone who signed up for my beverage swap! I had a great response and I hope that you all have fun with this one! My method for assigning partners was very scientific.

weekend recap
I apologize for not posting this earlier, I have been a bit swamped with work. KMH has reminded about 5 or 6 times that I have yet to blog and she is getting worried about me. I am here to tell you all that I am in fact alive and you have no reason to worry about me.
The shower on Sunday went swimmingly. I went with a pink and green theme (shocking) and JMK loved it. All of the guests said that it was the best shower they've been to, which made me smile. A big thank you to Lulu and Daisy and the Preppy Princess for helping me get prizes on time. If you have not checked out either of these stores yet (and why haven't you?) be sure to, as they are both fabulous and have terrific customer service.
The only things about the shower that annoyed me were 1) one rude guest who was a total Debbie Downer, 2) the fact that a few women who RSVP'd saying that they were coming did not show up, and that 3) after hunting down women via phone, facebook, and email, I still could not get several of them to RSVP. Two of the bride's roommates could not even be bothered to RSVP, not cool. I ended up spending more money than I intended to because I had to get food, favors, etc. for women who never showed, which did not make me a happy camper. Folks please never do this. Parties don't just happen, it takes someone a lot of time and money to plan them, and it does not take a lot to make a one minute phone call or send out a quick email. Oh well, what's done is done. Thankfully, I don't have to throw another shower in the forseeable future.
After the shower, I took a cab back with JMK to the apartment that she and her fiance got. They had signed the lease about 2 hours before the shower, so it was a big day for her. Their apartment is really nice and right across the street from the synagogue that they both go to, as well as the supermarket, which makes it a great location.
Monday, I slept at my mother's house because one of my favorite blog readers, Chani, was moving into her neighborhood and I helped her move and assemble furniture. This reminded me of why I have a love/hate relationship with Ikea. Assembly instructions should not be in comic strip form. Also, it should not take 30 minutes and one hammer to assemble a laundry hamper that probably cost less than my morning order at Starbucks. It just shouldn't.
After going through my closet, I realized that I leave for England in just over three weeks and have literally nothing to wear. Somehow, all of my fall clothes are too big or too small. Murphy and his law are not big fans of mine. Expect a lot of frantic shopping posts from now until then. Also, if you have not yet signed up to participate in my beverage swap, be sure to do so. The more the merrier. :)

MRM's Beverage Swap
Being that I am an avid fan of 1) tea, and 2) pretty/cute coffee mugs, so I have decided to organize a beverage swap for Fall. This can be a fun way to get to know some fellow bloggers better and to get to try out new things.
If you sign up for this swap, you are committing to send your swap partner at least 3 things, a mug/tea cup/travel mug and some tea/coffee/cider/hot cocoa mix. You can also send things that are not drinkable but relate to the general theme (some biscotti, or chocolate dipping spoons for coffee, cute coasters, etc.). Get creative and send your partner things that are local to where you live. (I will be getting my swap partner tea from England!) Please spend about $25-30 on your partner, not including shipping. I don't want to leave anyone out, so if you want to participate but can't spend that much, email me at whaleflipflops {@} gmail {.} com and I'll see what I can do.
Because this is a swap dealing with edibles, please let your partner know of any dietary restrictions that you may have (kosher, nut allergy, pregnant and can't have caffeine, etc.) to avoid any confusion or wasted food.
Please post pictures of all your swap goodies so that we can all oooh and aaaah over them. If you do not have a blog but would like to participate, you can email me your pictures and I would be more than happy to post them for you.
Sign ups will be open for two weeks, and I will post the list of swap partners on August 20th. Packages will need to be mailed out by September 25th. To sign up, please leave a comment on here with your email address or email me directly. Please feel free to tell your friends about this swap!
Enjoy!
