I’m a fan of Disney Pin Collecting. I try to pick up one or two pins at each trip. A few trips ago I bought this “Camp Counselor” bucket hat. I wear it on each trip. The hat came with about 8 pins on it. They were generic ones for Animal Kingdom. I traded many of those ones for this set of animated characters dressed as Pirates of the Caribbean characters. They are sold as a set which I didn’t find until I had the whole set anyway from individual pin trading.

I have also picked up pins for Eva from each of our trips. There are cheaper starter packs of pins out there too so I was able to pick up a couple so that on Eva’s next trip she can do some trading. She already has no problem talking to the characters, I doubt she’d have any trouble doing pin trading with the cast members.

This is Amish Friendship Bread, it is like a Culinary Chain Letter. One acquires this concoction in the form of a starter. You then have to ‘feed’ the starter. Feeding consists of adding copious amounts of sugar, flour and water. Eventually you get yourself 4 cups of the stuff. Then you make the bread with one cup, keep one cup as a new starter and give two starters away. Do you see where I am going with this?

Allison has now made 3 flavors of this bread. You flavor the bread with Jello instant pudding. I picked up 10 boxes one day, all different flavors. She has made lemon, banana and chocolate. The bread tastes pretty good but I can’t have but more than a single bite because of the diabetes, and even that is pushing things. I’m sure you can just throw the starter out but where would the fun in that be?

I tend to like things like that, which might explain my recent addiction to all of the Facebook Games I have been playing. Games like Mob Wars, Mafia Wars, Gangster Battle, Elven Blood, Skies of Blood, City of Blood, Bloodlust, Pirates: Rule the Caribbean!, Dragon Wars, Special Forces, Speed Racing, Knighthood, Pirates, Superpoke! Pets and many more of them. I’m going to have to ween myself off of them and pick just the ones that I really like.

Speaking of Facebook, today I posted some photos from college and within minutes people that were in the photos were friend requesting me and leaving comments on the photos. That is some amazing social networking.
